About this episode
Can you really have it all — growth and income? Rob Lauzon, Chief Investment Officer at Middlefield, says yes. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, he explains why dividend stocks are finally back in the spotlight — and why some of the biggest opportunities may be hiding in the most unloved corners of the market.From oil producers to pipelines and REITs, Rob breaks down where he’s finding value, yield, and upside in a market obsessed with AI. He shares his outlook on oil, gold, and the political shift that could breathe new life into Canada’s resource sector — and why he believes energy investors are entering a new era of disciplined balance sheets and shareholder returns.Amber and Rob tackle your questions on gold, pipelines (ENB, TRP, PPL), and energy names like Whitecap (WCP). They discuss possible tie-ups in the resource sector, with Rob suggesting a Barrick-Newmont deal could be a possibility. They also get into the outlook for REITs, from Dream Industrial (DIR.UN) to Northwest Healthcare (NWH.UN), and discuss whether Equitable Bank (EQB) has become a contrarian buy after its recent pullback.In Pro Picks, Rob shares three dividend-paying stocks that combine value, income, and serious upside — from Canadian Apartment REIT (CAR.UN) to Tourmaline (TOU) and U.S. regional bank Western Alliance (WAL). His theme this week? You can have it all — growth + income.Timestamps00:00 Show intro02:20 Rob’s investment style and where energy fits in04:30 The evolution of investing in energy 09:00 The politics question & the foreign investor question13:30 Do companies have conviction that things are really getting better in the oil patch?15:00 Oversupply and oil prices17:00 Why Rob is finding value & income in the energy sector21:10 What happens if the AI bubble bursts?22:10 ITM Mailbag: gold27:55 Pipeline & Royalty stocks (TOP, ENB, PPL, Southbow, Gibson)33:00 Whitecap Resources stock (WCP)32:35 Northwest Healthcare (NWH.UN)34:40 Dream Industrial REIT48:05: EQB stock41:00 Rob’s Pro Picks (CAR.UN, TOU, Western Alliance Bank)SponsorsFor 25 years, Raymond James has been helping Canadians achieve their financial goals.
