    Electricity is the New Oil: The Trades Powering the Next Energy Boom

    21/05/2026 | 58 mins.
    Global electricity demand is growing more than twice as fast as overall energy demand, according to the International Energy Agency—so how should investors be positioned to capitalize on this explosive shift?
    On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Robert Thummel, Managing Director & Senior Portfolio Manager at Tortoise Capital, explains why “electricity is the new oil” and how the rise of AI, data centres, and electrification is driving a once-in-a-generation opportunity across energy infrastructure, natural gas, and power generation. With over 30 years of experience investing through multiple commodity cycles, he lays out why investors should be looking beyond traditional oil producers and instead focusing on the assets powering the next wave of global growth—pipelines, utilities, and natural gas systems with durable cash flows and rising demand.
    He breaks down why low natural gas prices may actually be bullish, how North America has a structural advantage in the global AI race thanks to cheap energy, and why infrastructure assets—from pipelines to power grids—are becoming increasingly valuable due to their scarcity and stability. He also weighs in on Canada’s opportunity to become a more reliable global energy supplier, the risks around new pipeline construction, and why energy could continue to attract capital as investors rotate out of mega-cap tech and into high free cash flow sectors.
    In the Mailbag, Thummel shares his take on a wide range of stocks across the energy value chain, including the potential tie-up between NextEra Energy (NEE) and Dominion Energy (D), and what surging electricity demand means for utilities. He discusses infrastructure names like Targa Resources (TRGP) and MPLX (MPLX), breaking down volume growth, dividend sustainability, and why pipeline cash flows remain resilient even in a low gas price environment. He also weighs in on Canadian exposure through South Bow (SOBO.TO), the long-term outlook for Tourmaline (TOU.TO), and whether investors should be buying the dip in Cameco (CCO). Finally, he touches on Xylem (XYL) and why water infrastructure may be a slower—but still durable—long-term theme tied to data centre growth.
    In Pro Picks, Thummel leans fully into his core thesis that electricity is the new oil. He highlights Vistra (VST) as a direct way to play rising power demand, with exposure to key U.S. electricity markets and a more attractive valuation after a recent pullback. He pairs that with Williams Companies (WMB), a natural gas infrastructure leader benefiting from growing demand and innovative “behind-the-meter” power solutions tied to AI development. Rounding out his picks are natural gas producers EQT Corporation (EQT) and Expand Energy (EXE), which he believes are well positioned for a rebound as global LNG demand tightens supply and pricing improves—setting up the next leg higher for the natural gas trade.

    The Ultra-Rich Playbook: Where Big Money Is Moving Now

    19/05/2026 | 42 mins.
    The price of admission is $25 million — and how you invest changes completely once you get there. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Stephen Harvey, CIO of Sagard Wealth, breaks down how ultra-high-net-worth investors are positioning portfolios today — and why it looks nothing like a traditional 60/40. He explains how families are increasingly thinking like institutions, with heavy allocations to private markets, real assets, and global opportunities. From the AI capex boom to the case for commodities, Japan, and even Brazil, Harvey lays out where he sees the biggest opportunities — and why owning the “picks and shovels” of major trends may matter more than chasing headlines.
    In the Mailbag, Harvey shares why Japan is a top international overweight tied to structural economic change and a weaker yen, while Korea remains on the watchlist. He weighs in on the AI power trade through names like Talen Energy (TLN) and Constellation Energy (CEG), and explains why nuclear and grid infrastructure are key to the next phase of AI. He also makes the bullish case for copper through Lundin Mining (LUN.TO), highlighting a growing supply deficit, and discusses uranium exposure via Denison Mines (DML.TO).
    In Pro Picks, Harvey highlights three high-conviction themes the ultra-rich are leaning into. First, biotech — where he sees a wave of M&A driven by a looming patent cliff for big pharma, with names like Abivax (ABVX) and Scholar Rock (SRRK) on his radar. Second, U.S. regional banks, which he says are poised to benefit from consolidation, deregulation, and a steeper yield curve, with exposure available through the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE). And third, Brazil — a contrarian opportunity tied to energy and food exports, high real yields, and potential political change, with broad exposure through the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ).

    The Mother of All Commodity Supercycles

    14/05/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    “If tech was the best performer for 25 years because it took in all the cash… what do you think happens when all the cash flows into commodities and infrastructure?” 
    That’s the big question driving today’s conversation—and according to Daniel Dreyfus, the answer could define the next decade of investing. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Daniel Dreyfus, Chief Investment Officer at Bornite Capital, lays out his high-conviction thesis that we are in the early stages of the largest capital spending cycle in modern history. From AI-driven data centre demand to aging power grids, critical minerals, and global supply chain reshoring, he explains why trillions of dollars are now being redirected into real assets—and why that shift could fundamentally reshape market leadership. 
    Dreyfus walks through how he identifies “pinch points” across supply chains, why he believes commodities like copper, oil, and gold still have room to run, and how investors should think about energy, infrastructure, and inflation in a world of rising geopolitical risk and currency debasement. He also breaks down why he sees Canada as one of the most compelling places to invest in energy today, and what needs to happen for that opportunity to be fully realized. 
    In Mailbag, Dreyfus weighs in on key viewer questions across energy, natural gas, gold, copper, fertilizers, waste management, and more—including his views on names like PrairieSky (PSK.TO), Cenovus (CVE.TO), Tourmaline (TOU.TO), Paramount (POU.TO), Barrick (ABX.TO), Hudbay (HBM.TO), Mosaic (MOS), GFL (GFL.TO), and Pan American Silver (PAAS.TO). 
    In Pro Picks, he revisits past ideas like Cheniere (LNG), Ivanhoe (IVN.TO), and Talen (TLN), and shares new high-conviction names including Skeena Resources (SKE.TO) and Carpenter Technology (CRS)—explaining where he sees asymmetric upside tied to this massive capex cycle. If the last 25 years were defined by capital-light tech dominance, this episode makes the case that the next 25 could look very different.

    AI is Killing Buy and Hold Investing

    12/05/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    AI is forcing investors to rethink one of the most time-tested strategies in the market—and it could have major implications for how you build your portfolio. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Dan Rohinton, Portfolio Manager at iA Global Asset Management, makes the case that the traditional buy-and-hold approach is no longer as reliable in a world where artificial intelligence is accelerating disruption across nearly every industry.
    Rohinton explains why the AI supercycle is simultaneously creating massive opportunity while eroding the durability of long-standing business models—from software and consulting to telecom and consumer staples. He argues that “there are no sacred cows anymore,” with faster innovation cycles forcing investors to be more dynamic and shorten their time horizons. At the same time, he remains broadly bullish on the economic upside of AI, calling it one of the most profound technological shifts since the internet, with the potential to unlock productivity and reshape global growth.
    In the Mailbag, Rohinton tackles some of the most debated stocks in the market today, including Constellation Software (CSU.TO), WSP Global (WSP.TO), Blackstone (BX), Apple (AAPL), LVMH (MC.PA), and General Mills (GIS). He explains why many of these companies can still work tactically in the short term, even as AI introduces long-term risks to their business models—helping explain why some stocks are falling despite strong earnings.
    In Pro Picks, Rohinton first revisits his past ideas from his last appearance—Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Microsoft (MSFT)—and explains why his conviction has evolved as the AI landscape shifts. While he’s still constructive, he’s more measured on Alphabet, remains bullish on Amazon as a core AI infrastructure play, and is doubling down on Microsoft (MSFT) as his top idea today given its scale and positioning despite near-term concerns. He also adds Meta Platforms (META), highlighting its massive AI investment and upside if spending translates into productivity gains, and Visa (V) as a more defensive compounder with optionality tied to increasing payment volumes in an AI-driven economy.

    “Barbarians at the Moat”: How Disruption Is Reshaping the Best Stocks to Own

    07/05/2026 | 55 mins.
    The market isn’t just rotating—it’s being rewritten. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Paul Moroz, Portfolio Manager at Mawer Investment Management which has more than $65 billion in AUM, explains why we’ve entered an era of “change investing,” where the biggest opportunities—and risks—come from rapid shifts in technology, competitive advantage, and capital intensity. From AI disrupting software to semiconductors becoming a larger share of the global economy, Moroz breaks down how investors can navigate a market where “barbarians are at the moat” and not every dominant company is safe. He also shares why balancing optimism with caution is key, and how to position a portfolio that can win no matter how this cycle plays out.
    In the Mailbag, Moroz weighs in on some of today’s most debated stocks, including Shopify (SHOP), where strong growth wasn’t enough to satisfy elevated expectations, Amphenol (APH) and the copper vs. optical debate in AI infrastructure, eBay (EBAY) amid takeover speculation, and Caterpillar (CAT), which has quietly become an AI-adjacent play through data centre demand. He explains how expectations, valuation, and macro forces—from rising yields to energy prices—are driving stock reactions more than ever.
    In Pro Picks, Moroz highlights three names positioned to benefit from long-term structural trends. He makes the case for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) as the backbone of the AI ecosystem, argues that Amazon (AMZN) still has a culture-driven edge that can unlock future growth opportunities, and points to Bunzl (BNZL) as a steady compounder flying under the radar. Together, these picks reflect his strategy of balancing high-growth disruption with durable, cash-generating businesses.
    Whether you’re leaning into AI or looking for stability in a volatile market, this conversation offers a framework for investing in a world defined by constant change.
