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.
