What Liberation Day Means for Your Money
The world is undergoing a seismic shift, and according to Daniel Dreyfus, Chief Investment Officer at Bornite Capital, we are in the midst of a major regime change that will redefine economies, industries, and financial markets. In this conversation, Dan explains why a new era of tariffs will be massively inflationary and why buying infrastructure and critical commodities will be the best way to protect your money. He says commodities are set to benefit, and suggests the price of gold could go as high as $4000 per ounce. Dan explains how investors can position themselves before the market fully adjusts to this fundamental transformation and offers specific stocks to buy in order to get ahead, including names like Cheniere Energy, Talen Energy and Ivanhoe Mines. This isn’t just another market cycle—this is a massive structural change. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to find out how you can profit.

Making Money in a Little Corner of the Market
Small-cap stocks may be off to a rough start in 2025, but last year they helped Jordan Zinberg, President & CEO of Bedford Park Capital, deliver a remarkable 60% return. Known for his disciplined approach to stock picking and long-term investing, Zinberg is willing to take on short-term downside risk for the potential of outsized gains. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, we dive into Jordan’s strategy for investing in high-quality Canadian small-cap and mid-cap stocks.

If We are Headed for Recession, This is Where to Hide
Stocks may be falling but Rebecca Teltscher, portfolio manager at Newhaven Asset Management’s portfolio is up, proving that her long-term, fundamentals driven approach is working. Rather than chasing short-term trends, she focuses on defensive investments—companies that provide critical infrastructure and offer long-term stability by prioritizing dividends. She says Donald Trump’s trade war means stagflation is a huge risk but notes the sectors she invests in are attractive regardless of an economic slowdown or rise in inflation. She tells In the Money with Amber Kanwar why she’s bullish on Canadian stocks, why valuation matters more than hype, and reveals the companies she’s buying now—including one energy name she calls “the most enticing buy in the market.” Timestamps 00:00 Show intro 01:45 Rebecca explains her defensive approach to investing 04:00 What tariffs mean for the defensive dividend-paying approach06:00 Is stagflation is a big risk and what’s the stagflation playbook? 09:45 U.S. vs. Canadian stocks & why Rebecca thinks Canadian stocks are poised to continue to outperform 14:45 Carney vs. Poilievre: assessing the what the next Prime Minister will mean for Canadian markets 17:45 In the Money mailbag: Is Algonquin Power & Utilities hopeless? 22:45 What are Rebecca’s thoughts on Telus as a long-term hold? 25:45 Will BCE cut the dividend? 29:40 What is a catalyst for Nutrien? 31:45 Rebecca’s thoughts on Gibson Energy 33:45 Is there more upside in Manulife? 35:15 Rebecca’s thoughts on the Hamilton U.S. Bond Yield Maximizer ETF39:45 Rebecca’s Pro Picks 53:00 Goodbye & coming upSponsorsThis episode is brought to you by BMO InvestorLine.
