Larry McDonald: SpaceX Could Crash the Market — Why He's Buying Commodities Instead
3d ago01:06:18Tap to summarizeThe AI boom is supposed to be a tech story. Larry McDonald thinks it's a commodities story. On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Bear Traps Report founder and best-selling author explains why surging demand for copper, uranium, oil, natural gas and gold could create some of the biggest investment opportunities of the next decade. As trillions of dollars flow into AI infrastructure, data centres and power generation, Larry argues investors are overlooking the companies supplying the raw materials that make it all possible. In fact, he goes so far as to call NVIDIA (NVDA) a "dumb trade," arguing that investors are piling into an increasingly crowded corner of the market while ignoring the resources that power the entire AI ecosystem. He also shares his concerns about speculative excess in markets and why the excitement surrounding SpaceX could have much bigger implications for investors than most realize.Larry answers viewer questions on the biggest investment asymmetries he sees today, why Indonesia could be one of the most overlooked emerging-market opportunities, and whether Brazil is setting up for a major political and market shift. He also shares his outlook on pipeline operators like Energy Transfer (ET), uranium exposure through Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (U.U / SRUUF), and beaten-down consumer names including Diageo (DEO), Kraft Heinz (KHC), General Mills (GIS), and Campbell's (CPB). Plus, he explains why natural gas producers such as Tourmaline Oil (TOU), Antero Resources (AR), and Range Resources (RRC) could be unexpected winners from the AI buildout.Larry's last appearance on In the Money was a win for commodity bulls. He recommended natural gas, coal and shorting NVIDIA (NVDA), arguing that investors were underestimating the long-term opportunity in hard assets. Since then, natural gas and coal-related trades have significantly outperformed while NVIDIA has largely moved sideways despite relentless enthusiasm around AI. This time, Larry is doubling down on the commodity theme with a bullish call on gold, copper, uranium and energy producers. His top picks include Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM), which he calls one of the best-managed mining companies in the world, SLB (SLB), a play on rising global energy demand and AI-driven infrastructure spending, and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), a unique healthcare and data-driven AI opportunity that has fallen out of favour with investors.

Transcribe →Hold Cash — But Load Up On Commodities
5d ago00:48:09Tap to summarizeGlobal fund managers raised their allocation to equities by the most on record in May, but Chad Larson, who manages the best performing tactical fund in Canada, is taking a contrarian approach—holding elevated cash levels while selectively deploying into his highest-conviction trades.On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, the Founder & Senior Portfolio Manager at MLD Wealth, breaks down why his largest holding is cash—and why that doesn’t make him bearish. Instead, he’s running a barbell strategy: staying defensive while targeting opportunities in small-caps, natural resources, and the “backbone” of the AI trade. From oil and copper to uranium and infrastructure, Chad makes the case that we’re still early in a multi-year commodities supercycle—but warns the easy money has already been made.In the Mailbag, Chad shares his top ideas across sectors, including semiconductors via the SOXX ETF, copper exposure through Sprott Copper Miners ETF (COPP) and King’s Copper (KCP), uranium through Global X Uranium ETF (HURA) and Cameco (CCO), and energy names like Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ). He also highlights National Bank (NA) as his favourite Canadian bank, weighs in on MDA Space (MDA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT), and explains why he’s steering clear of software names like Thomson Reuters (TRI) despite the AI boom.In Pro Picks, Chad leans into higher-risk, high-reward ideas. He highlights Gold X2 Mining (AUXX) as a leveraged gold play with takeover potential, Trican Well Service (TCW) as a direct way to play a rebound in oilfield services, and Surge Battery Metals (NILI) as a speculative lithium story tied to the EV and energy transition. It’s a classic barbell approach: safe sector exposure on one side, and “lottery ticket” upside on the other.If you’re navigating a market driven by liquidity, AI, and geopolitical shocks, this episode lays out a clear playbook: hold cash, stay selective—and don’t ignore commodities.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:20 Intro 05:00 Chad is not bullish or bearish- have to pick the spots 09:00 Why Chad’s largest holding is cash & thoughts on gold 12:30 What is 2026’s gold trade? 13:00 Why Chad likes energy 17:50 Hamilton Enhanced Mixed Asset Allocation ETF- MIX 12:00 ITM Mailbag: Semiconductors (SOXX) 22:00 Thomson Reuters stock(TRI) 23:45 MDA Space stock (MDA)25:00 Canadian banks & National Bank stock(NA) 26:30 Favourite copper plays: COPP, KCP 29:15 Canadian Natural Resources stock(CNQ) 30:30 Lockheed Martin stock (LMT)34:00 Uranium (HURA) 35:50 Campbell’s (CPB) 38:30 Chad’s Pro Picks (AUXX, TCW, NILI)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →David Rosenberg: The Stock Market Is Telling You There's No Risk. It's Wrong.
1w ago01:07:00Tap to summarizeEveryone calls David Rosenberg a permabear but he says he’s fully invested, just in completely different places than the consensus.On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Rosenberg breaks down why he’s still in the market despite sounding the alarm on what he sees as extreme valuations, bubble-like behaviour, and a dangerous level of investor complacency. From a “teflon market” that shrugs off every shock, to an equity market where investors are effectively paying to take risk, he explains why this cycle feels eerily similar to the late-90s tech mania.He pushes back on the dominant narrative around AI and government spending, arguing the real economy is far weaker beneath the surface. Strip out AI, and growth looks sluggish. Strip out a handful of mega-cap names, and market returns look far less impressive. For Rosenberg, this is a sentiment-driven market—one where momentum is masking rising risks.At the same time, Rosenberg is leaning heavily into an area most investors have written off: government bonds. He’s bullish on short-term bonds in both Canada and the U.S., arguing markets are mispricing the path of interest rates. While investors brace for more inflation and potential hikes, he sees disinflation ahead—driven by weak wage growth and slowing demand—which could force central banks to cut. In his view, that disconnect creates a compelling opportunity in the front end of the bond market.In Pro Picks, he lays out exactly where he is putting money to work in addition to government bonds. He’s bullish on commodities across the board—gold, base metals, energy infrastructure, and agriculture—driven by long-term supply constraints and a shift toward resource security. He also highlights defense as a stealth tech play with strong earnings visibility, and sees clean energy as a geopolitical trade tied to energy independence. His message is clear: stay invested, but stay disciplined—because when the cycle turns, valuation will matter again.Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:10 Intro04:15 Is Rosie surprised at the teflon market?08:25 Echoes of 1999.

Transcribe →How to Generate 10%+ Returns in an Inflationary World
2w ago01:12:22Tap to summarizeInflation is surging again and it’s driving savvy investors to rethink how to manage their portfolios. So, what assets should you buy right now to protect your wealth?On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, James Davolos, Portfolio Manager and Director of Research at Horizon Kinetics, breaks down why investors need to reconsider everything they know about portfolio construction in a higher inflation world. He explains why a simple “buy gold” strategy isn’t enough, why real assets are still early in a long-term cycle, and why targeting 10%+ returns is essential just to stay ahead of rising prices.From infrastructure and commodities to royalties, land, and even water, Davolos lays out the framework for building a portfolio designed to generate growing cash flows that outpace inflation—and why traditional equity benchmarks may no longer offer true diversification.On gold, Davolos remains constructive long term, arguing that structural deficits, central bank demand, and the need for a store of value continue to support the thesis—even if short-term volatility and macro crosscurrents create noise along the way.In the Mailbag, the focus turns to silver, which he describes as a higher-beta version of gold with both monetary and industrial demand tailwinds. He explains why he prefers to play it through royalty and streaming companies like Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) to reduce operational risk—before broadening out to other real asset opportunities, including Brookfield (BEP.UN / BIP.UN), Glencore (GLEN), RB Global (RBA), and the long-term uranium trade through Cameco (CCO) and NextGen Energy (NXE).In Pro Picks, Davolos revisits past ideas like PrairieSky Royalty (PSK.TO) and TMX Group (X.TO), reinforcing his conviction in royalties and exchange businesses as high-margin, inflation-linked compounders. He then introduces three new high-conviction names: Miami International Holdings (MIAX), a fast-growing exchange gaining share in a structurally expanding derivatives market with significant upside tied to new index and options products; Sprott Inc. (SII.TO), a 70%+ margin asset manager leveraged to sustained inflows into physical real asset strategies; and LandBridge (LB), a unique Permian Basin land and water infrastructure play with built-in growth from energy production and additional upside from AI-driven data center demand. Across all three, the common thread is clear: scarce assets, powerful operating leverage, and asymmetric return potential in an inflationary world.Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:20 Intro04:15 Why James has an even higher conviction on higher inflation and buying real assets 06:00 First principles -how to protect against inflation08:00 It comes down to real assets09:15 What gives James confidence in his inflation outlook13:20 How do we explain gold’s drop in the context of inflation17:50 Is the ‘hard assets’ thesis too consensus? 20:00 Are semiconductors hard assets?21:40 Why buying the index won’t protect you24:45 How bitcoin fits into the thesis29:40: Hamilton ETFs: Mixed Asset Allocation ETF: MIX31:40: ITM Mailbag: Silver & Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM)35:35 Brookfield, Brookfield Renewables & Brookfield Infrastructure (BN, BEP, BIP)37:20 Glencore stock (GLEN)41:15 Bunge stock (BG)43:20 RB Global (RBA)45:05 NexGen Energy (NXE)48:50 James’s Past & Pro Picks (ARIS, PSK, X, MIAX, SII, LB)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →Why $22 Billion Letko Brosseau is Bullish on Canada
2w ago00:58:45Tap to summarizeCanada just slipped into a technical recession, stocks are sitting at record highs— and one renowned $22 billion firm is leaning in, not backing away.On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Alex Letko, Portfolio Manager at LetkoBrosseau, explains why he remains bullish on Canada despite growing skepticism. While headlines point to slowing GDP, he argues the underlying economy is more resilient than it feels—supported by real wage growth and steady consumer spending. He also tackles a debate in the market right now: Canadian banks trading at record highs and premium valuations. Rather than calling it a bubble, he makes the case that strong earnings, oligopolistic structure, and potential pension fund inflows could continue to support the group.At the same time, Letko outlines why the firm has been more cautious globally—pointing to stretched valuations and extreme concentration in the U.S. market. With over 80% of the S&P 500 trading above 20x earnings, he explains why they’ve been trimming winners and holding cash to redeploy into better opportunities, including Canada.In the Mailbag, the conversation starts with BCE (BCE.TO), where Letko sees a compelling turnaround story with a sustainable dividend and limited optimism priced in. He also weighs in on Canadian telcos more broadly, the surprising strength in auto parts makers like Linamar (LNR.TO) and Magna (MG.TO) despite tariff concerns, and why his firm has trimmed energy exposure even with oil prices pushing higher. The discussion then shifts globally, breaking down the AI-driven surge in semiconductor names like Samsung (005930.KS) and SK Hynix (000660.KS), where tight memory supply could persist—but the cycle remains key. He also highlights Brazil as an emerging opportunity, where improving fundamentals and potential political change could drive a re-rating.In Pro Picks, Letko doubles down on those global themes—starting with Copel (CPLE6.SA), a Brazilian utility he sees as a high-quality, low-cost operator with strong dividend upside. He also highlights Bolsa Mexicana (BOLSAA.MX), the Mexican stock exchange, as a “moaty” way to play long-term financial penetration. And back in Canada, he makes a contrarian call on Air Canada (AC.TO), arguing that despite near-term volatility, improving margins and a shift toward premium travel could drive meaningful earnings growth over time.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:20 Intro03:35 The roots of LetkoBrosseau05:40 Is the firm more cautious right now? 07:35 Do we have to be patient for the pullback09:00 Are the Canadian banks in a bubble?12:00 Bringing Canadian pension funds back to Canada14:30 Why LetkoBrosseau is bullish Canada19:00 The future of Canada’s energy sector20:50 LetkoBrosseau’s move into retail24:30 Hamilton ETFs: MIX 26:30 ITM Mailbag: BCE 30:20 Linamar & Magna (LNR, MG)34:00 Energy stocks39:50 Samsung & SK Hynix43:50 Brazil46:00 Alex’s Pro Picks (Copel, Bolsa Mexicana, Air Canada)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

3w ago01:00:45Tap to summarize“Patience is a virtue—sometimes the best trade is the one you don’t rush.” On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Jimmy Lebenthal, Chief Equity Strategist & Partner at Cerity Partners, makes the case for looking where others aren’t. He explains why patience still wins, how to navigate “parabolic” markets, and why he’s still putting fresh money to work in names like Cisco (CSCO)—a stock he’s owned for over a decade that’s now finding new life in the AI buildout. He also shares lessons from his new book, How to Ride the Subway: Getting Around on Wall Street and in Life, including why sometimes the best strategy is simply staying on the train.He also dives into the most debated corner of the market right now: software. Lebenthal explains why he’s actively adding to names like Microsoft (MSFT), Adobe (ADBE), Salesforce (CRM), and ServiceNow (NOW), arguing the market may have overreacted to AI disruption fears and created opportunity in high-quality businesses with strong cash flow and buyback support.In the Mailbag, Lebenthal breaks down a wide range of stocks and sectors, including why he’s avoiding Lululemon (LULU) despite the selloff, his outlook on Disney (DIS) as a potential turnaround story, and how he’s thinking about banks—comparing Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan (JPM). He also weighs in on Dell (DELL) after its recent surge and shares his broader view on energy markets and global supply dynamics.In Pro Picks, Lebenthal sticks with high-conviction ideas. He highlights Cisco (CSCO) as a long-term compounder tied to AI infrastructure demand, Cheniere Energy (LNG) as a key beneficiary of the global LNG expansion, and AbbVie (ABBV) as an attractive opportunity in a lagging healthcare sector with strong cash flows, a growing pipeline, and a compelling valuation.Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:10 Intro03:45 Value, patience and growth at a reasonable price 06:30 What prompted Jimmy to write his book: Riding the Subway: How to Get Around on Wall Street And Life 07:40 Using Cisco as an example of Jimmy’s investing style (CSCO)16:25 This is like 1997 not 199918:50 Jimmy is putting dollars to work in software 25:25 Jimmy can’t get behind U.S. housing yet28:00 Is healthcare a value trap? 30:00 Being okay with FOMO35:00 Hamilton ETFs: MIX37:05 ITM Mailbag: Lululemon stock (LULU)38:50 Energy stocks44:50 Disney stock (DIS)47:45 Citigroup & JP Morgan (C, JPM)49:50 Dell stock (DELL)51:15 Jimmy’s Pro Picks (CSCO, LNG, ABBV)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

3w ago00:57:30Tap to summarizeSemiconductors are ripping, trillion-dollar valuations are becoming the norm, and now the most hyped IPO in years is looming. So… is this the moment everything peaks? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Mark Sebastian, Founder of Option Pit, returns with a view of a market that’s moving faster—and getting more crowded—by the day. From Micron’s explosive run to Nvidia’s “vampire trade” losing steam, Mark explains how capital is rotating across semis in real time—and why he’s not shorting this market, even as signs of froth start to build. He points to Intel (INTC) as proof of how powerful this cycle has been—after flagging it on this show over a year ago, the stock has surged more than 400%, so it's worth listening to his thoughts this time around. Still, he warns that a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran could be a sell-the-news moment, potentially triggering a rotation out of equities just as liquidity gets pulled into the SpaceX IPO and other major AI offerings. In the mailbag, Mark tackles everything from Canadian oil to gold, defense, luxury, and broken stocks like Disney (DIS). He makes the case that energy could see one last selloff before becoming a generational buying opportunity, explains why gold’s pullback is more about normalization than weakness, and shares why names like Diageo (DEO) are getting squeezed in a shifting consumer landscape. He also weighs in on Salesforce (CRM), Brookfield Corp. (BN), Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), and why Disney might still be worth holding despite years of frustration.In Pro Picks, Mark revisits his past calls—highlighting how he traded around winners like Intel (INTC) and Reddit (RDDT), while stepping away from Boeing (BA) after a solid run and staying constructive on Amazon (AMZN). Then he unveils a fresh batch of ideas: from “hidden AI plays” like Deere (DE) and Ford (F), to high-risk/high-reward bets in rare earths like USA Rare Earth and American Resources (AREC). He also shares a surprising contrarian call on Mattel (MAT), tied to what he believes could be the Barbie moment of 2026. This is a masterclass in how traders think about momentum, timing, and risk in a market that refuses to slow down.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:15 Intro02:55 Mark Sebastian returns + lessons learned from Intel06:55 The semiconductor & memory trade is going gangbusters11:30 The new tech IPOs: SpaceX: How is it not bubbleicious territory?16:35 A ceasefire could become a sell the news moment19:15 Hamilton ETFs: MIX21:20 ITM Mailbag: Canadian oil stocks 24:30 Why is gold at a two-month low?26:05 General Dynamics (GD) 26:50 Diageo (DEO) & Ferrari’s new EV30:15 Brookfield & Brookfield Asset Management (BN, BAM)33:55 Salesforce (CRM)36:20: Disney (DIS)41:00: Mark’s Past & Pro Picks ( RDDT, BA, AMZN, DE, F, USAR, AREC)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →It's Earnings, Stupid: How to Build an ETF Portfolio Around What Actually Matters
4w ago00:44:41Tap to summarizeGlobal markets keep climbing despite geopolitical tension, shifting rate expectations, and nonstop headlines—but how should you actually build an ETF portfolio in this environment? According to Ryan Lewenza, it all comes back to one thing: earnings. Strong revenue growth, record profit margins, and resilient fundamentals are what continue to power equities higher, even as uncertainty lingers. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with the Senior Portfolio Manager, Private Client Group from Turner Investments to break down how to construct a disciplined ETF portfolio around what actually drives returns—and why chasing narratives like AI without earnings support can be a mistake.In the Mailbag, Ryan answers your ETF questions with a focus on real portfolio construction. For commodity exposure, he highlights the iShares S&P/TSX Global Base Metals ETF (XBM) and the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME). On energy hedging, he explains why trying to pick Brent vs. WTI is overthinking it, and instead suggests broad exposure. He’s not a fan of the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), pointing to weak long-term performance, and prefers simple growth exposure through the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) or Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK). For private market and IPO exposure, he points to Fidelity Global Innovators ETF (FINN), while defensive investors can look at BMO Low Volatility Canadian Equity ETF (ZLB). Income seekers, meanwhile, should consider the Invesco Canadian Dividend Index ETF (PDC), and for housing exposure, he mentions the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB)—though timing depends heavily on interest rates.In Pro Picks, Ryan lays out a clear ETF blueprint built around where he sees the next rotation. He highlights the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) as a core play on value stocks as leadership shifts away from growth. To capture the AI-driven power demand theme, he likes the BMO SPDR Utilities Select Sector Index ETF (ZXLU), calling utilities a “wimpy way to play AI” with both defensive and growth characteristics. And for international upside, he points to the Franklin FTSE South Korea ETF (FLKR), driven by semiconductor exposure and still benefiting from the global AI buildout. The message is simple: build around earnings, stay diversified, and don’t overcomplicate what ultimately drives returns.Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:05 Intro 03:00 It’s earnings, earnings, earnings 06:20 What could take the market down?

Transcribe →Electricity is the New Oil: The Trades Powering the Next Energy Boom
May 2100:58:37Tap to summarizeGlobal 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.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:30 Intro 03:50 Electricity is the new oil: focus on natural gas gas & infrastructure 08:00 We’ve learned oil is still relevant 10:00 How does Rob view Canada’s energy infrastructure and the opportunity for Canada 16:30 Interest from generalist investors in energy 19:50 Is the energy sector vulnerable to things like the SpaceX IPO? 21:40 Hamilton ETFs: MIX 23:45 ITM Mailbag: NextEra-Dominin merger (NEE,D) 29:00 Targa Resources (TRGP) 33:00 MPLX (MPLX) 34:50 South Bow (SOBO) 38:10 Tourmaline Oil (TOU)41:00: Cameco (CC)43:00 Xylem (XYL)46:00 Robert’s Pro Picks (VST, WMB, EQT, EXE) 56:20: ETF Minute: BMO Gold ETFs SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →The Ultra-Rich Playbook: Where Big Money Is Moving Now
May 1900:42:04Tap to summarizeThe 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).Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:00 Intro 03:00 Outsourcing a family office04:30 Building a portfolio for the ultra rich05:40 The power of private markets and alternative investments10:40 Thinking about AI & the capex boom13:10 Hamilton Enhanced Mixed Asset Allocation ETF (TSX: MIX)15:20 ITM Mailbag: Japan or South Korea?21:30: Talen Energy & Constellation Energy24:20 Lundin Mining26:30 Denison Mines (DML) 28:20 Stephen’s Pro Picks (Biotech: SRRK,ABVX, U.S. regional banks: KRE, Brazil: EWZ) SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.
