  • Bond Bull in a Bearish World: Why This Investor Sees Opportunity for Canada Amid Tariffs
    Earl Davis is optimistic—and that's rare for a bond investor. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Head of Fixed Income at BMO Global Asset Management shares why he believes both the U.S. and Canadian economies are stronger than many think—and why fears of an imminent recession are overblown.Davis explains why inflation isn’t heading back to 2% anytime soon, and instead may stabilize at a higher range of 4–5%. He also dives into the outlook for interest rates—why the Federal Reserve might still cut this year even if it shouldn’t, and why elevated rates could be the new reality for years to come.He breaks down what’s really driving markets right now, from tariffs and deficits to Japanese bond yields and central bank policy. Most importantly, he explains how to position your portfolio in a world of sticky inflation, persistent government spending, and shifting global dynamics.Plus, Davis shares his top bond picks—including two investment-grade corporate bonds (Fairfax and Enbridge) and a high-yield name in the defense sector with a 9% coupon.If you're trying to figure out how to invest in today's bond market, make sense of the rate outlook, or understand where inflation is really headed—this is the episode for you.Timestamps00:00 Show Intro01:30 The lingering effects of the pandemic: deficits and inflation03:10 Earl’s high-level view on inflation: it’s going higher08:15 Why Earl thinks the Fed will cut at least once this year, even though he thinks they shouldn’t10:15 How to position in this type of environment11:55 Can tariffs be deflationary?14:00 What happens if there’s a new Fed president?15:45 What about the bond vigilantes?17:45 Why Earl believes the bond market is trading off of Japan20:40 What about Canada’s economy?23:15 Why growth in Canada could surprise to the upside this year26:30 Why the Fed and Bank of Canada will move their inflation targets higher27:30 Why Earl thinks the housing market is not a headwind but a tailwind for Canada29:40 What about immigration?30:45 Earl can’t remember ever being this optimistic32:15 Earl’s Pro Picks38:20 Goodbye & coming up SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

  • Top Stocks to Buy in a Sluggish U.S. Market
    In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar we sit down with veteran investor Gordon Reid of Goodreid Investment Counsel who is actively searching for value beyond the usual Magnificent 7 names. Reid explains how he’s managed to outperform by picking strong performers across the other 493 names in the S&P 500—and where he’s finding the most overlooked opportunities today. Although he does hold some of the usual big tech stocks, he shares 7 stock ideas outside of the Mag 7 that he believes are positioned to outperform, spanning financials, healthcare, and industrials.Reid offers his long-term perspective on tech concentration, American exceptionalism, and why the AI revolution is still in its early innings. In the mailbag, he weighs in on Novo Nordisk (NVO), Eli Lilly (LLY), Merck (MRK), Elevance Health (ELV), UnitedHealth (UNH), Visa (V), Uber (UBER), and RTX (RTX) — revealing which ones he’s buying, avoiding, or watching closely.Plus: Reid’s Pro Picks are all about U.S. financials. Find out why he likes Goldman Sachs (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS), and under-the-radar Jackson Financial (JXN) — and what he sees as the next big catalyst for the sector.💬 Got questions?

  • Strathcona Hit $4B Faster Than Any Canadian Company—Adam Waterous Wants MEG Next
    Adam Waterous thinks the Canadian energy sector is the most compelling opportunity in North America—and he’s putting his money where his mouth is. On this special episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, we’ve got a special on-location Calgary Stampede edition hosted by ATB Financial. Amber sits down with the CEO of the Waterous Energy Fund in front of a live audience to unpack Strathcona’s multi-billion takeover bid for MEG Energy and what it says about the future of oil and gas in Canada.Waterous lays out why Canada’s long-life reserves, superior economics, and underappreciated asset base give it a structural advantage over the U.S.—and why now is the time to scale. He explains why MEG is a “plan A-plus” acquisition for Strathcona, how the deal could unlock massive operational synergies, and what makes it accretive for both sides of the table. With a shareholder vote looming, he also makes the case for consolidation as the next phase of growth in a sector that’s been overlooked for too long.Beyond the deal, Waterous shares a bold vision: Canada not only has the resources, but the moral obligation to help solve the global energy poverty crisis—by doubling oil and gas production. It’s a provocative take on Canada’s role in the world, grounded in energy security, economic opportunity, and climate pragmatism.Timestamps00:00 Intro: ITM Stampede Edition 02:25 Understanding Adam’s approach to energy investing 09:10 How does timing factor in? 11:45 What Adam says to the naysayers 14:35 Are there parallels with CNQ? 16:20 Adam’s view on oil prices 18:50 Why did Adam make the bid for Meg Energy now? 24:15 Will Adam sweeten the bid? 32:35 Making the case for why Strathcona should buy Meg 34:20 Is Athabasca another potential opportunity? 38:46 How climate change factors into his thinking? “We have an energy poverty emergency” 43:00 Adam on Mark Carney and his policies 46:45 What needs to change to make Canada succeed? 49:25 Why don’t more of his peers talk about what needs to change in Canada? 52:40 Canada and Alberta has a very bright future  SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

  • Why Commodities Could Be the Trade of the Decade
    Are commodities entering a stealth bull market? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, portfolio manager Bob Thompson makes the case for why investors should look beyond tech and get serious about the next major cycle: commodities.Bob explains why gold, copper, uranium, and fertilizer stocks are poised for long-term outperformance and why we may already be in a commodity bull market that most investors are missing. From underinvestment in mining to decade-long US dollar cycles, he breaks down the macro forces driving this pivot and the historical parallels that suggest a major reversion is coming.In the mailbag, Bob names top Canadian stocks and sectors he’s quietly building positions in including Nutrien (NTR), Capstone Copper (CS), ARC Resources (ARX), and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ). He also shares his outlook on Barrick Gold (ABX), Cameco (CCO), and Telus (T), plus insights on the TSX Venture’s recovery and why gold has outperformed the S&P 500 since 2000.Then in his Pro Picks segment, Bob highlights 3 top-performing funds across energy and mining: the Sprott Physical Silver and Miners ETF (SLVR), the Dynamic Active Mining Opportunities ETF (DXMO), and the Ninepoint Energy Fund all backed by managers with serious alpha-generating track records.If you’re questioning U.S. tech valuations, considering inflation hedges, or wondering how to invest in a multi-year energy and metals supercycle, this episode is packed with high-conviction, data-backed insights you won’t want to miss.Timestamps00:00 Show intro2:40 Why Bob Thompson thinks commodities will be the place to be for the next decade05:20 Why are we in a stealth commodity bull market?08:05 How to think bout being a commodity investor10:50 The companies you should consider investing in during a commodity bull market12:50 In order to get the macro picture right, you have to get the U.S. dollar call right16:00 History doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes20:30 Crypto & gold 22:10 Why the TSX venture is poised to outperform 24:20 The AI trade as a commodity trade26:00 Risk and reward in commodities and investing31:00 ITM Mailbag: Why Bob likes gold, silver, copper and agriculture stocks36:30 Arc Resources stock (ARX.TO)37:45Canadian Natural Resources stock (CNQ.TO) 42:40 Barrick Gold stock (ABX.TO)46:00 When to take profits in gold 49:40 Favourite non-commodity stock: Telus (T.TO)51:30 Bob’s Pro Picks  SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.

  • $75 Billion CIO Says What Wasn’t Working is Starting to Win
    Is it time to rotate back into U.S. equities? Sadiq Adatia, Chief Investment Officer at BMO Global Asset Management, oversees $75 billion in direct assets—and he's making bold moves. In this episode, Sadiq reveals why he’s gone overweight U.S. stocks again, what’s changed in his view on gold, and why Canadian markets might deserve a second look.We cover everything from tariffs and interest rates to inflation, AI disruption, and whether the resilient U.S. consumer can keep this market rally alive.In our Pro Picks segment, Sadiq highlights two sectors he's leaning into, and one he’s staying away from: U.S. and international financials for their attractive valuations, strong dividend yields, and improving fundamentals; technology and communication services, which he sees as multi-year structural winners thanks to AI and pricing power; and a move away from consumer staples, which he says have become too expensive and less compelling in the current environment. It's a pro-cyclical tilt aimed at taking advantage of momentum without overpaying for safety.If you're wondering how one of Canada’s top investors is positioning for the second half of 2025, this conversation is your roadmap.Timestamps00:00 Show intro01:55 Sadiq Adatia’s investment approach03:40 Why Adatia has changed his view on U.S. equities and gold because what was working isn’t going to work anymore 05:25 Why Adatia recently went back overweight equities07:30 Adatia’s view on rates08:30 Why Adatia is neutral on Canada now after being bearish11:00 Is there anything that can overcome FOMO in markets right now?12:45 Can long-term investors just ignore geopolitics?14:15 The inflation question16:30 What are the biggest risks to the rally?18:25 Why Adatia is now neutral on gold 20:40 How to insulate for the risk of the U.S. debt problem?23:40 The AI question and how to position for it transforming different markets and sectors 29:25 Sadiq’s Pro Picks SponsorsThis episode is sponsored by BMO InvestorLine.
