It's Earnings, Stupid: How to Build an ETF Portfolio Around What Actually Matters
Yesterday00:44:41Tap 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
6d ago00:58:37Tap 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
1w ago00:42:04Tap 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.

Transcribe →The Mother of All Commodity Supercycles
2w ago01:09:43Tap to summarize“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.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:15 Intro05:05 Still in an early commodity supercycle12:45 Cash is flowing into commodities & infrastructure 15:15 What benefits the most from this thesis? 18:15 Dan’s view on Iran war & oil22:15 Canada has to play a critical role to repair supply chains - Hopeful that Canada can deliver26:45 Canada is the most exciting place in the world to invest in energy 29:45 Hamilton ETFs MIX31:50 ITM Mailbag: Cenovus Energy stock (CVE)32:45 Natural gas plays 35:15 Barrick Mining (ABX)39:45 Hudbay Minerals & copper (HBM) 46:10 Mosaic (MOS)49:05 GFL Environmental (GFL)51:05 Silver stocks 53:45 Mirion Tech (MIR)54:55 Dan’s Past & Pro Picks (LNG, IVN, TLN, SKE, CRS)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →AI is Killing Buy and Hold Investing
2w ago01:10:41Tap to summarizeAI 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.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:30 Show intro03:30 Political uncertainty is something we need to get used to 05:30 AI agnostic to what’s going on in geopolitics 07:30 Keep an open mind but Dan universally bullish on AI 10:00 Where do you go for defence?

Transcribe →“Barbarians at the Moat”: How Disruption Is Reshaping the Best Stocks to Own
3w ago00:55:52Tap to summarizeThe 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.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:25 Intro 03:40 Paul’s approach to investing 06:15 Is software dead? 10:00 A deep dive into Constellation Software 16:00 The extra layer needed for software stocks 17:00 The IPO market 19:20 Why has the global equities portfolio lagged? 23:50 We’re in an era of change investing 25:50 Thoughts on semiconductors 28:10 Hamilton’s MIX ETF 31:10 ITM Mailbag: Shopify stock (SHOP) 32:00 Amphenol stock (APH)36:50 eBay stock & the Gamestop bid (EBAY, GME)39:00 Caterpillar stock (CAT) 41:50: Paul’s Pro Picks (TSM, AMZN, BNZL)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →Tech Stocks are Hot Again: What to Buy (and What to Sell)
3w ago00:52:27Tap to summarizeThe Nasdaq 100 went from a seven-month low to a record high in April—posting its biggest monthly gain since 2002. But as tech stocks rip higher, Kieran Moore says the real opportunity isn’t owning everything… it’s knowing what to avoid.In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Kieran Moore, Equity Partner & Portfolio Manager at Munro Partners, breaks down what’s really driving the explosive rebound in growth—and why he’s getting more selective, not less. He explains why AI demand is quietly surging beneath the surface, with usage (or “token demand”) tripling in just a few months, and how that’s creating massive winners—but also real disruption risk. Moore makes the case that this isn’t the end of the AI trade—it’s the beginning of a more nuanced phase, where earnings growth, not hype, will separate the winners from the losers.He also lays out why he’s taking a hard stance against software stocks right now—even exiting long-time winners like Microsoft (MSFT) and ServiceNow (NOW)—arguing that AI could start eating into traditional software revenues. At the same time, he highlights where the real leverage to this cycle sits: semiconductors, memory, and the AI supply chain, where bottlenecks are driving powerful multi-year growth.In the Mailbag, Moore tackles your top questions on Nvidia (NVDA), Meta (META), Alphabet (GOOGL), Constellation Software (CSU.TO), memory stocks like Micron (MU), Adobe (ADBE), and Cameco (CCJ). He explains why Nvidia can still work despite multiple compression, why he’s stepped aside from Meta despite its massive scale, and why Alphabet may still have room to run thanks to multiple AI growth levers. He also weighs in on whether memory stocks are in a new supercycle, why he’s avoiding software broadly, and how to think about energy plays tied to AI demand.In Pro Picks, Moore leans into the infrastructure powering the next wave of growth. He doubles down on Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) as a global leader in batteries tied to EVs and energy storage, highlights Lumentum (LITE) as a critical networking play enabling AI data centers, and points to Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) as a core bottleneck in the entire AI ecosystem. These are companies he believes can compound earnings as AI spending scales globally.If April proved anything, it’s that tech is back—but the easy money may already be made. The next move comes down to getting the right names.Timestamps02:20 Intro 04:10 What’s going on for growth stocks10:00 Not going back to software anytime soon14:00 The case for growth stocks & AI spending17:50 OpenAI vs. Alphabet & privates21:30 The bear argument24:30 Is Apple a genius for letting others build it out?26:20 Will the memory rally continue? 28:10 ITM Mailbag: Nvidia stock (NVDA)30:50 Meta stock (META) 33:05 Alphabet stock (GOOGL) 35:25: Constellation Software stock (CSU) 36:25: Memory stocks38:45: Adobe stock (ADBE)39:45 Cameco stock (CCO)42:20 Kieran’s Pro Picks (CATL, LITE, TSM) SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →Beating the Market with Small-Caps: Cheap Stocks with Big Upside
4w ago01:00:34Tap to summarizeSmall-cap stocks have significantly outperformed their large-cap peers so far this year but valuations remain at a massive discount, so what names should be on your radar?On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Aubrey Hearn, Senior Vice-President, Portfolio Manager & Lead – U.S. & Small Cap Equities at CI Global Asset Management, makes the case that the small-cap opportunity is far from over. He explains why this is more than just a catch-up trade, pointing to a massive valuation gap where small caps are trading at a 30% discount to large caps despite typically commanding a premium. Hearn also breaks down why fundamentals have quietly remained strong beneath the surface, with many high-quality small caps delivering consistent earnings growth even as multiples compressed. He shares why a stronger U.S. economy, fiscal stimulus, and broader earnings growth beyond the “Magnificent 7” are now creating a much wider opportunity set for investors willing to look beyond mega-cap tech.In the Mailbag, Hearn tackles a range of investor questions across cyclicals, private equity, and AI exposure. He explains why he would buy TFI International (TFII) on a cyclical recovery in transport, outlines the hidden value inside Brookfield Business Corp. (BBUC), and makes the case for KKR (KKR) despite concerns around private credit. He also weighs in on the AI trade, warning that “you have way too much software if you own any,” while selectively adding exposure. On Canadian names, he discusses Celestica (CLS) as a picks-and-shovels AI play, breaks down the controversy around GFL Environmental (GFL), and calls Cargojet (CJT.TO) “stupid cheap” despite years of underperformance—highlighting its dominant market share and strong pricing power.In Pro Picks, Hearn leans into battleground stocks with asymmetric upside. He highlights Live Nation (LYV) as a long-term compounder driven by the global growth of live events, despite regulatory overhangs. He also makes a contrarian case for Pollard Banknote (PBL.TO), pointing to explosive growth in its iLottery business alongside deeply discounted valuation, and sees a turnaround opportunity in Colliers (CIGI) as commercial real estate activity recovers. Across all three ideas, the common thread is clear: misunderstood businesses, strong underlying fundamentals, and significant upside if sentiment shifts.Timestamps00:00 Trailer01:00 Intro 04:00 What’s exciting about the small-cap universe? 05:30 What’s driving the resurgence in the small-cap sector? 08:40 Stay in the blue-chip version of small-caps 10:30 This year the Russell should grow faster than the S&P 500 12:00 What’s the buying opportunity today? 16:00 ITM Mailbag: TFI International stock (TFII)20:00 Brookfield Business Corp stock (BBUC)23:50 KKR stock (KKR) 26:30 AI vs. Software in small-caps 30:45 Celestica stock (CLS) 34:00 GFL Environmental (GFL) 39:00 Cargojet stock (CJT) 43:50 Aubrey’s Pro Picks (LYV, PBL, CIGI) SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →Everyone is Getting the Energy Trade Wrong: $4 Billion Hedge Fund Manager
4w ago00:56:12Tap to summarizeEnergy stocks are down over the past month despite the war in Iran. Tech stocks have come roaring back. But this hedge fund manager says the market has it all wrong. Jason Landau, Group Head, Executive Vice President & Portfolio Manager at Waratah Capital Advisors believes “the left tail in the market is totally mispriced” and says “the best hedge in the market today is being long oil.”On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Landau breaks down the two themes dominating the market right now, oil and AI. He tells us why markets may be underestimating geopolitical risk, how he’s positioning around oil, and why Brent crude—not WTI—is his preferred hedge. He also explains how to think about your positioning if the market is wrong on the Iran trade and why Canada could be a major long-term winner from global energy insecurity. Then, he gets into why tech is rallying, dives into the AI boom and tells us where he sees opportunity—and risk—across semiconductors and software.In the Mailbag, Landau shares his view on Lululemon Athletica (LULU) as a long-term turnaround story, breaks down the growth runway for Dollarama (DOL.TO), and weighs in on NVIDIA (NVDA) and the broader chip trade. He highlights opportunities in semiconductor equipment names like ASML Holding (ASML) and Applied Materials (AMAT), as well as GlobalFoundries (GFS). On the energy side, he discusses positioning in Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) and Tamarack Valley Energy (TVE.TO), and gives his take on airlines like Air Canada (AC.TO).In Pro Picks, Landau’s top ideas include an array of eclectic names. Cheniere Energy (LNG) as a play on global LNG demand and energy security, SharkNinja (SN) as a consumer disruptor driven by innovation and product expansion, and Welltower (WELL) as a long-term beneficiary of aging demographics and pricing power in senior housing.Timestamps00:00 Trailer 02:30 Intro04:20 Jason’s approach to investing06:10 Tech vs. Commodities08:00 Oil risk is mispriced 11:30 Best hedge in market today is being long oil15:25 M&A in the energy sector17:45 The tech trade is back, why?19:20 Software, you just don’t have to be there21:00 Where to look in semiconductors23:10 the long-short strategy (in tech)27:50 ITM Mailbag: Lululemon stock(LULU) 31:50 Dollarama stock (DOL) 36:50 Chipmakers (NVDA, GFS)40:00 Cenovus stock (CVE) 42:00 Air Canada stock (AC)45:20 Jason’s Pro Picks (LNG, SN, WELL)SponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.

Transcribe →The Microcap Playbook: Finding 10x Stocks Before They Get Discovered
Apr 2301:03:15Tap to summarizeThe best opportunities in the market might be the ones no one is paying attention to — and that’s exactly where microcap investor Mathieu Martin is looking.On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Mathieu Martin, Portfolio Manager for the Rivemont MicroCap Fund, to break down one of the most underfollowed — and potentially most lucrative — corners of the market. Martin explains why microcaps, often ignored by institutions and analysts, offer a unique edge for investors willing to do the work. Drawing on his unconventional path from poker to portfolio management, he shares how he identifies high-conviction ideas, builds deep fundamental insight, and finds companies that can grow from under $100 million to multi-billion dollar success stories. He also walks through the mindset required to handle volatility, why liquidity cycles matter more than fundamentals in the short term, and how improving conditions could set the stage for a new wave of microcap outperformance.In the Mailbag, Martin weighs in on some of the most intriguing small-cap names investors are watching right now. He revisits the remarkable run of Kraken Robotics (PNG.TO), explaining why he’s trimmed but still holds a small position, breaks down the risks and rapid growth behind Hydreight Technologies (NURS), and outlines both the opportunity and recent “yellow flags” surrounding Kits Eyecare (KITS.TO). He also discusses ADF Group (DRX.TO) and its potential to benefit from Canadian infrastructure spending despite tariff headwinds, shares his cautious take on Poet Technologies (POET) amid a short squeeze, and gives his outlook on Cineplex (CGX.TO) as the box office recovery gains momentum.In Pro Picks, Martin leans into one of his highest-conviction — and most controversial — themes: cannabis microcaps. After a brutal industry shakeout that saw widespread bankruptcies, he believes a new class of profitable, fast-growing players is emerging. He highlights Cannara Biotech (LOVE.TO) as a standout, pointing to its low-cost production, dominant Quebec market share, and strong growth trajectory. He also makes the case for Auxly Cannabis (XLY.TO), a turnaround story with improving margins, strong brands like Back Forty, and backing from strategic investor Imperial Brands. Beyond cannabis, he rounds out his picks with D-BOX Technologies (DBO.TO) as a unique way to play the movie theatre recovery through high-margin royalty revenue.Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:20 Intro04:50 From poker to micro caps07:30 What’s the winning formula? 10:00 Investment process: Example: Kraken Robotics14:10 Is volatility expected in the micro cap market?17:10 Microcap commodities 19:40 ITM Mailbag: Kraken Robotics (PNG) 20:55 Hydreight Technologies (NURS) 22:50 KITS eyecare (KITS)30:10 ADF Group (DRX)34:30 Poet Technologies (POET) 38:20 Microcap SaaS stocks 39:50 Cineplex (CGX) 42:00 Mathieu’s Pro Picks, focus on marijuana stocks (DBO, LOVE, XLY)58:15 ETF Minute: CI’s New Asset Allocation ETFs Add a “Plus” to the Classic PortfolioSponsorsFor over 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.
