  • ​​“Best Market in 40 Years” — Why Nuclear is Surging Now with Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel

    ​​“Best Market in 40 Years” — Why Nuclear is Surging Now with Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel
    Mar 31 2026
    The nuclear story has completely flipped — and according to Cameco CEO Tim Gitzel, this is now the strongest market he’s seen in over 40 years.In this conversation on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Gitzel explains why uranium and nuclear energy have gone from a post-Fukushima downturn to a full-scale global comeback. He walks through the turning points — from the shutdown of Japan’s reactors and a decade-long bear market, to today’s surge driven by climate goals, energy security concerns, and rising geopolitical tensions. As countries rethink their dependence on foreign energy and fragile supply chains, nuclear power is moving back to the center of the global energy mix.The discussion also dives into Cameco’s transformation from a uranium producer into a more vertically integrated nuclear player, including its major stake in Westinghouse alongside Brookfield Asset Management. Gitzel explains how that deal positions the company to benefit from a massive global buildout of reactors — including a landmark $80 billion commitment from the U.S. to expand nuclear capacity.Finally, Gitzel breaks down the next wave of demand: AI and data centers. With electricity needs set to surge, he explains why nuclear’s reliability, long lifespan, and energy security advantages are making it increasingly essential — and why this cycle could look very different from anything the industry has seen before.If this cycle plays out as expected, nuclear won’t just be part of the energy mix — it could become the backbone of the next era of global power.Timestamps02:25: Intro04:50: Best environment for nuclear in over 40 years06:15 Tim Gitzel’s path to Cameco CEO08:30 Fukushima and what’s happened since12:35 What kept Gitzel at Cameco through the lean years?13:45 The new commitment to nuclear power14:50 Cameco’s stake in Westinghouse18:30 Cameco’s partnership with the U.S. government 26:20 Rumours that the U.S. is also working with competitors + cost overrun concerns30:35 ATB Cormark Capital Markets31:05 Cameco in Canada34:00 The war in Iran & impact on nuclear36:35 AI, data centres & nuclear 42:00 Succession planning & Tim’s legacy44:00 Does it all go away if there’s another accident?

  • Dividend Growth in a Time of War

    Dividend Growth in a Time of War
    Mar 26 2026
    Dividend growth is supposed to be the safe corner of the market — but what happens when geopolitics, inflation shocks, and an evolving AI trade collide all at once?In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Amber sits down with Amritha Kasturirangan, Co-Lead Portfolio Manager of the Franklin U.S. Rising Dividends Fund at Franklin Templeton, to break down how she’s navigating markets in a time of war. Running a $30 billion strategy built on dividend growth, she explains why she’s not chasing yield — but instead using consistent dividend growth as a signal of resilient, high-quality businesses that can hold up through uncertainty.The conversation dives into how the market narrative has shifted from early-year optimism to geopolitical anxiety, and what that means for investors. Amritha walks through her framework for thinking about the Iran conflict, why she believes markets may be overpricing worst-case scenarios in private credit, and how the AI trade is evolving beyond mega-cap tech into real-world productivity gains. She highlights companies like Walmart (WMT) and Goldman Sachs (GS) as examples of how AI is moving beyond infrastructure into productivity — a shift she sees as both healthy and investable. She also explains why this environment is creating opportunities — not reasons to panic — for long-term investors focused on quality and durability.In the Mailbag, Amritha breaks down Microsoft (MSFT) and why it remains a long-term winner despite the recent selloff, Nasdaq (NDAQ) and whether exchanges are truly at risk from AI disruption, Stryker (SYK) and why a recent cyberattack isn’t a reason to sell, D.R. Horton (DHI) and the long-term case for homebuilders despite rate pressure, and ExxonMobil (XOM) and how to think about energy stocks in the context of geopolitical shocks.In Pro Picks, she starts with Parker-Hannifin (PH), a self-help industrial story being re-rated as a long-term compounder with exposure to aerospace and defense. Next is Analog Devices (ADI), an under-the-radar chipmaker benefiting from secular trends like automation, EVs, and the Internet of Things. And finally, Ross Stores (ROST), an off-price retailer with a powerful “treasure hunt” model, improving execution, and a new growth flywheel driven by marketing and a younger consumer — all while continuing to deliver strong dividend growth.This is a playbook for investing when uncertainty is high: focus on resilience, stay disciplined, and use volatility to your advantage.Timestamps00:00 Trailer02:20 Intro 04:00 Franklin Templeton’s dividend growth strategy 06:35 Dividend growth in a time of war 10:10 Private credit & software challenges 17:25 How big is the private credit/equity problem? 20:45 ETF Minute: Hamilton’s QMVP22:15 ITM Mailbag: Microsoft stock (MSFT) 26:25 Walmart stock (WMT) 26:45 Nasdaq stock (NDAQ)31:10 Stryker stock (SYK)36:35 D.R.

  • “Multi-Baggers Everywhere” – How to Be Optimistic in a Market Sell-Off

    “Multi-Baggers Everywhere” – How to Be Optimistic in a Market Sell-Off
    Mar 24 2026

    Markets are volatile again but is this sell-off creating the next generation of multi-bagger stocks? In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Optimist Fund’s Jordan McNamee breaks down why he’s staying aggressively bullish despite market panic driven by AI disruption fears, geopolitical tension with Iran, and rising interest rate uncertainty.

    Jordan explains why today’s market setup may be even more attractive than 2022, highlighting how growth stocks and mid-cap equities are being mispriced despite improving fundamentals, rising earnings, and stronger profitability. He shares how his high-conviction investing strategy focuses on exceptional businesses with long-term upside, ignoring short-term volatility in favour of 5-year compounding opportunities and why market fear is often the best entry point for outsized returns.

    The conversation dives deep into key stock picks and sectors, including why he’s bullish on Carvana (CVNA) as a potential multi-bagger, his growing conviction in Uber (UBER) as a cash flow machine, and opportunities in beaten-down names like Wayfair (W), ThredUp (TDUP), Affirm (AFRM), Toast (TOST), Zscaler (ZS), Latham Group (SWIM), and First Advantage (FA). He also explains why he exited monday.com (MNDY), what he looks for in management teams, and how AI disruption is creating both risk and massive opportunity across software, fintech, and e-commerce.

    From buy now pay later trends and consumer weakness to housing market stagnation, interest rates, and shifting macro conditions, Jordan breaks down how he’s positioning his portfolio and why he’s actively rotating capital into the most mispriced opportunities during this sell-off. He also addresses short seller concerns around Carvana, the impact of fuel prices on Uber, and why hiring trends could drive upside in overlooked sectors.

    If you’re wondering how to invest during a market correction, where the next 5x stocks could come from, and how to think like a long-term investor in a short-term panic cycle, this episode is packed with actionable insights, high-growth stock ideas, and a clear framework for navigating volatility.
