Larry McDonald: SpaceX Could Crash the Market — Why He's Buying Commodities Instead

Is Wall Street getting the AI threat to software stocks all wrong? When fears of a "SaaSpocalypse" sent software stocks plunging, Canadian tech company Kinaxis (KXS.TO) lost roughly 30% of its value. But according to its new CEO, Razat Gaurav, the business was actually getting stronger. With revenue doubling since 2023 and growing demand from global customers including General Motors, Unilever and Merck, Gaurav believes Kinaxis has the potential to double or even triple in size. He joins Amber Kanwar to explain why AI won't replace the company's supply chain software, how it's using AI to accelerate growth, and why investors may be misunderstanding the future of enterprise software. Gaurav also discusses the economics of AI, including rising token usage, whether AI companies are subsidizing their products, and the potential for over investment to create another tech bubble. He explains why Kinaxis is increasing R&D spending while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet, how a partnership with Nvidia is making its technology dramatically faster, and what tariffs, geopolitical tensions and global supply chain disruptions mean for customer demand. Plus, could Kinaxis be headed for a U.S. stock exchange—or become Canada's next big tech takeover? Gaurav addresses plans for a potential U.S. dual listing, acquisition opportunities, takeover speculation and why he believes the company's biggest growth opportunities are still ahead.

Inflation is reshaping global markets, and Canada may be uniquely positioned to benefit. Veteran value investor Kim Shannon, Founder and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Sionna Investment Managers, believes we're only five years into an inflationary cycle that could last another 15 years or longer. History suggests Canadian stocks have a significant advantage in this environment. When inflation rises above 4%, Canada has historically outperformed the U.S. by an average of 8%. After correctly predicting the TSX would outperform the S&P 500 last year, Shannon explains why she believes the golden era for value investing is far from over, why rising bond yields could put pressure on expensive growth stocks, and where she's finding opportunities in Canadian equities despite the market's impressive rally. In the Mailbag, Shannon weighs in on whether Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO) still has room to run after doubling in value, whether Canadian energy stocks can continue their rally, and if Canadian banks like Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO) and TD Bank (TD.TO) have become too expensive. She also discusses why Fairfax Financial (FFH.TO) could offer significant upside, whether Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) remains attractive, the AI disruption fears weighing on engineering firms WSP Global (WSP.TO) and Stantec (STN.TO), and whether rising bond yields are creating opportunities in pipelines and telecom stocks. In Pro Picks, Shannon reveals three Canadian stocks she believes offer significant upside in an inflationary world. She's sticking with Barrick Mining (ABX.TO), a pick from last year that's already gained 47%, but which she believes remains deeply undervalued thanks to one of the world's most promising gold discoveries. She's also finding opportunity in the wreckage of the AI-driven software selloff, making the case for CGI (GIB.A.TO), and sees a potential turnaround in beaten-down utility Algonquin Power & Utilities (AQN.TO), which she believes could climb from roughly $7 to $12 a share. Plus, we revisit her stellar picks from last year, including Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO), up 52%, and Cenovus Energy (CVE.TO), which has doubled, to see what's behind those gains and whether there's still upside ahead.

Canada is on the cusp of what could be a generational investment opportunity. After years of underinvestment, billions of dollars are flowing toward infrastructure, defence, energy and data centres—and some of the biggest beneficiaries may still be overlooked by investors. Andrey Omelchak, President, CEO & CIO at LionGuard Capital, believes Canada's economic transformation is just getting started. After outperforming both the TSX and Nasdaq without relying on big tech or mining stocks, he explains why he's so bullish on Canada's future, where he's finding opportunities and which companies could deliver outsized returns. In the Mailbag, Andrey weighs in on whether the pullback in 5N Plus (VNP.TO) is a major buying opportunity, whether AI disruption fears are overblown for Stantec (STN.TO) and Lumine Group (LMN.V), and why he's excited about Electrovaya (ELVA.TO) despite its volatility. He also revisits Propel Holdings (PRL.TO) following the collapse in goeasy (GSY.TO), assesses the upside in Mattr (MATR.TO) after its massive rally and explains why he sees more growth ahead for Firan Technology Group (FTG.TO). In Pro Picks, Andrey reveals three stocks positioned to benefit from a surge in infrastructure, defence and data centre spending: Magellan Aerospace (MAL.TO), Enerflex (EFX.TO) and Badger Infrastructure Solutions (BDGI.TO). He also revisits his previous picks, including Calian Group (CGY.TO), Canaccord Genuity (CF.TO) and Bird Construction (BDT.TO), which has surged 155% since his last appearance. Is there still upside, or is it time to take profits?

Cole Smead got Canadian energy right when few investors wanted anything to do with the sector. Now, after some of his biggest stock picks have delivered enormous returns, is there still money to be made?

Steve Eisman made his name betting against the housing market before the Global Financial Crisis—a trade immortalized in The Big Short. So when he sees risk building in the market, investors pay attention. But this time, Eisman isn’t predicting another crash. In fact, he’s net long. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Eisman explains why he remains cautiously bullish, even as he warns that the market has become dangerously dependent on one story: AI. He argues the S&P 500 is far less diversified than investors think, with much of the market now directly or indirectly tied to the AI buildout. He breaks down the extraordinary concentration he sees from NVIDIA (NVDA) to the hyperscalers to OpenAI and Anthropic—and what could cause that chain to unravel. Eisman also weighs in on rising interest rates, why he believes U.S. banks are safer than they’ve been in decades, and why he isn’t worried about America’s massive government debt. And he revisits one of his more infamous calls on Canada: his bet against Canadian banks. Eisman admits he was wrong, explains why his bearish housing thesis never played out as expected, and says Canada’s oligopolistic banking system has helped keep its banks safe—even as Canadian housing now faces a significant pullback. Plus, in Pro Picks, Eisman shares his high-conviction ideas: NVIDIA (NVDA), which he continues to own as long as the AI story holds together, and Eli Lilly (LLY), which he believes has won the weight-loss drug war. He also reveals why he closed his hugely successful short position in FICO (FICO) after the stock plunged roughly 60%—and teases another short he isn’t ready to reveal just yet.
