60-Year Market Veteran Warns: U.S. Stocks Are in Trouble, Gold is the Safe Haven

In the Money with Amber Kanwar

Veteran investor Ross Healy has been navigating markets for 60 years — and right now, he’s sounding the alarm. In this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, Ross explains why he believes U.S. stocks are dangerously overvalued and could be facing a major correction. He draws unsettling parallels to past bubbles, including the 2000 tech crash, and warns that the S&P 500 could fall by more than 50% as valuations snap back to reality. Despite the looming risks, Ross is far from sitting on the sidelines.

Ross fields questions from viewers on a wide range of names, including the Canadian telecom stocks, Shopify (SHOP.TO), Lululemon (LULU), Power Corp (POW.TO), and Algoma Steel (ASTL.TO). He explains why he thinks BCE and TELUS (T.TO) face serious headwinds, why Rogers (RCI.B.TO) stands out as a safer bet, and why Shopify’s sky-high valuation just doesn’t justify the return. He remains fully committed to gold, noting that while Canadian investors are already on board, the real upside will come when American investors begin piling in.

When it comes to his Pro Picks, Ross names three stocks he’s buying right now. He’s bullish on Fortuna Mining (FVI.TO), a gold-focused producer he believes is still undervalued despite its recent run. He sees big turnaround potential in Laurentian Bank (LB.TO), which is trading at multi-decade lows. And for portfolio stability, he likes Atco (ACO-X.TO), a utility stock with a solid balance sheet, steady dividend, and long-term upside.

If you're trying to make sense of today’s overheated markets — and want to know where a market veteran is actually putting his money — this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
