Investing at All Time Highs: What to Own vs What to Rent

In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar,  investor Seth Allen of Cadence Financial explains why he thinks about stocks the same way you might think about real estate—some are worth owning for the long haul, others you just rent for the upside. He breaks down his approach to navigating markets at record highs and how to spot which stocks are “forever homes” and which ones are just short-term leases.

In the mailbag, Seth shares quick, actionable takes on some of the market’s most closely watched names. He explains why Apple’s (AAPL) lag is no reason to bail, why Microsoft (MSFT) remains a core AI winner, and how Cameco (CCO.TO) fits into the energy demands of an AI-powered world. He also weighs in on Nutrien (NTR.TO), Canadian Apartment REIT (CAR.UN.TO), Disney (DIS), and CP Rail (CP.TO)—laying out what’s worth owning, what’s worth renting, and how he’s navigating valuation, policy risk, and shifting demand.

For Pro Picks, Seth highlights three unconventional ways to play the AI boom—none of them from the usual Mag 7 crowd. From a Canadian insurer using AI to price risk, Intact Financial (IFC.TO), to a natural gas producer with strategic storage, EQT Corp (EQT), and a ride-sharing giant poised to disrupt freight and delivery, Uber (UBER), he shows how AI is transforming a wide range of industries—and where the long-term value could lie.
