In the Money with Amber Kanwar

• We’re in Year 5 of a 15-Year Energy Boom: Canada’s Biggest Energy Investor

  This week on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Canoe Financial’s David Szybunka makes a bold call: we’re only in year 5 of a 15-year bull market for energy. David explains why the last three years were just a “digestive phase,” why energy stocks are quietly outperforming even with $60 oil, and why he sees the cycle shifting from disbelief to the early stages of optimism. He breaks down the flows, the fundamentals, and the global capital piling back into Canadian energy—from private equity to pension funds to supermajors—regardless of the prevailing political narrative. The message is clear: scarcity is real, capital is returning, and the setup only gets stronger from here.From there, Amber and David dig into the mailbag, tackling names investors are debating right now. They break down Whitecap (WCP) and its growing dividend strategy, ABEX Technologies (ABXX) and the structural LNG shift behind its explosive run, South Bow (SBOW) and whether its high yield signals opportunity, ARC Resources (ARX) and what the market misunderstood about Attachie, Athabasca (ATH) and whether its surge puts it in takeover territory, and Imperial (IMO), whose refining strength has driven massive outperformance versus the rest of the sector.The conversation then rolls seamlessly into David’s Pro Picks, where he lays out how he’s positioning for the next leg of the cycle. He highlights why CES Energy Solutions (CEU) is a mispriced, market-share-gaining service company that doesn’t need higher oil to re-rate; why he thinks investors should own Clearwater names—Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE) and Headwater Exploration(HWX)—given fast payouts, reservoir enhancements, and long free-cash runways; and why PrairieSky (PSK) and Topaz (TPZ), two of the sector’s premier royalty plays, remain undervalued compounders that bring stability and upside to an energy portfolio. He closes with Tourmaline (TOU), making the long-term gas case and explaining why it’s the kind of stock where long-horizon investors could “park capital and wake up rich.”If you want to understand where the energy cycle is really headed—and why David believes the biggest gains are still ahead—this episode connects every dot.Timestamps00:00 Show intro02:05 Who is David Szybunka?04:10 How does David continue to outperform?06:45 We’re year 5 of a 15-year energy bull cycle10:00 Why are the stocks doing better than the commodity right now? 12:30 Politics and the 15-year bull market.

• Are We Seeing the First Cracks in the AI Trade?

  AI has driven tech stocks to new heights — but are we starting to see cracks in the story? Amber Kanwar sits down with Shane Obata of Middlefield to find out whether the AI trade is running out of steam or just gearing up for its next phase. From Nvidia’s dominance to rising capital costs across the sector, Shane explains where investors should stay cautious and where the next wave of profits could come from — and why, in this market, all roads still lead to OpenAI.In the Mailbag, Shane weighs in on AMD (AMD) and its new deal with OpenAI, why Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) still shines despite China risks, and how Salesforce (CRM) stacks up against Microsoft (MSFT) in the software wars. He breaks down Meta’s (META) need for a new “shiny object,” calls Apple (AAPL) the ultimate safety trade, and explains how Amazon (AMZN)’s rebound in AWS shows its AI story is far from over.In Pro Picks, Shane shares three fresh ideas beyond the Mag 7: Samsung Electronics, poised to benefit from a global memory crunch; Take-Two Interactive (TTWO), ready to soar on the back of Grand Theft Auto VI; and Alibaba (BABA), a contrarian bet on China’s tech revival. He also reveals the theme he says will define 2026 — power — the hidden force driving the entire AI buildout.Timestamps00:00 Show intro02:10 It’s been a crazy year for tech, but you need to have it04:50 Why was it a tough earnings season for tech and is this an opportunity ?07:35 All roads lead to OpenAI11:30 How do you responsibly allocate for AI?16:00 ITM Mailbag: Advanced Micro Devices stock (AMD)21:45 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing stock (TSMC)24:30 Salesforce stock (CRM)28:30 Meta stock (META)34:40 Amazon stock (AMZN)37:25 Shopify stock (SHOP) 39:00 Constellation Software stock (CSU) 46:00 Shane’s Pro Picks ( Samsung, Take-Two Interactive, Alibaba)SponsorsFor 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

• Gimme a Crisis: Lessons From Scotiabank’s Rick Waugh

  This week on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, it’s a different kind of conversation — no portfolio managers, no mailbag, just an honest, wide-ranging “good hang” with two Canadian heavyweights.Amber sits down with bestselling author Howard Green, whose book Gimme a Crisis tells the remarkable story of former Scotiabank CEO Rick Waugh, who joins the conversation too. Together, they dive into the moments that defined Canada’s banking system — and Waugh’s extraordinary career — from Argentina’s collapse to the 2008 financial crisis and what came after. Along the way, they unpack why Canada’s banks emerged as some of the strongest and most stable in the world — and what lessons that strength holds for the future.It’s part history, part leadership masterclass, and part storytelling gold — a rare glimpse into how crises shape character, business, and a nation.Timestamps0:00 Show intro02:15 The story of how this book came to be06:40 A book about Rick and the Canadian banking system09:20 Numbers are important but personalities are just as important11:00 Dealmaking, meeting Donald Trump and what it takes for Canada to win 14:30 Assessing risk and Canada’s banking sector16:50 A crisis: the story of Scotiabank in Argentina23:40 Scotia’s international expansion under Rick28:00 Competition and Canadian banks in the U.S.30:30 Opportunities for Canada’s banking sector.

• The Trump Effect: Why Wall Street is Repricing Everything

  The Trump Trade is shaping the market right now. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar we sit down with Infrastructure Capital Management CEO Jay Hatfield to break down how the current wave of tariffs, deregulation, and government-backed investing is moving markets — and creating opportunities — in surprising places. From Washington’s national security bets to Silicon Valley’s political flip, this episode unpacks what the “Trump trade” means for stocks, sectors, and your portfolio.Hatfield explains why America’s push into strategic industries like resources, chips, and AI is creating clear winners — and how to position yourself without getting caught in the hype. He also shares how “the Trump effect” is reigniting deal-making, unlocking private equity, and fueling what could be the next multi-year bull run.From private equity giants to fast food staples, Jay takes listener questions on Brookfield (BN) vs. BlackRock (BLK) and whether private managers will dominate North American infrastructure. He breaks down why McDonald’s (MCD) could be a steady play for 2026, Pepsi (PEP) may have more upside after activist pressure from Elliott Management, and how Kimberly-Clark’s (KMB) deal for Kenvue (KVUE) could still deliver gains. Plus, his candid take on long-suffering Pfizer (PFE), why he trimmed his position in Broadcom (AVGO), utility players NextEra and Vistra (NEE, VST) and how to approach regional banks like Fifth Third (FITB) amid some credit fears.In Pro Picks, Jay lays out his top “Trump trade” plays — KKR (KKR) and Apollo (APO) — benefit directly from deregulation, renewed M&A activity, and a friendlier environment for private capital. He’s still bullish on Amazon (AMZN) as a cost-cutting story with cloud upside, and sees big opportunity in Marvell (MRVL), a cheaper AI chip play that’s been unfairly punished.Recorded on: Tuesday November 4th, 2025Timestamps00:00 Show intro02:15 The Trump Administration is buying stakes in U.S. stocks, why, and what does it mean for the market?05:15 Why this creating a bubble may not actually be a bad thing08:25 If AI has the backing of the U.S. government does that make valuations less worrying?11:10 Why tech makes up only a small portion of Jay’s portfolio 16:10 Is it time to look outside of the AI trade?17:30 Is OpenAI an under appreciated risk? 19:30 Where are rates headed?22:20 ITM Mailbag: Brookfield or Blackrock?

• Looking for Canada's Zuckerberg? Look at the Natural Resource Sector

  While everyone’s chasing the next tech trend, Kelsey Dunwoodie is digging where Canada’s real wealth—and entrepreneurial spirit—lies: in the ground. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Deans Knight Capital Management portfolio manager lays out the bullish case for Canada’s great resource comeback. From gold miners to natural gas producers, she argues the next wave of growth will come from small and mid-cap companies built by hands-on founders who’ve weathered every boom and bust.She breaks down why gold producers are flush with cash, how energy companies are positioning for the next upcycle, and why she’s steering clear of the rare earths hype—for now. Kelsey fields questions across the resource landscape. She explains why she once owned Foran Mining (FOM.TO) but now prefers Taseko Mines (TKO.TO) for its consistent operations and better valuation. In forestry, she’s staying loyal to West Fraser Timber (WFG.TO), praising its management and ability to outperform through any housing cycle. On royalties, she says Franco-Nevada (FNV.TO) and Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM.TO) are proven powerhouses but highlights Topaz Energy (TPZ.TO) in the energy space. She also discusses Osisko Metals (OM.TO) and its Gaspe Copper Project, calling it a story to watch, and points to Equinox Gold (EQX.TO) as her largest gold position—a miner shifting from spending to strong cash generation. Dunwoodie closes the show with three under-the-radar Canadian resource stocks she believes are set to outperform. Champion Iron (CIA.TO) leads the list, an iron ore miner entering a new phase of higher-margin, low-carbon production. She names Denison Mines (DML.TO) as her favorite way to play the uranium boom and global nuclear buildout. And rounding it out, Paramount Resources (POU.TO)—a family-run natural gas producer growing more than 20% a year without needing to raise a dime.Timestamps00:00 Show intro 02:30 How Kelsey got into resource investing03:30 Why resources?
