Where Strong Returns Are Coming From: Alternatives That Are Winning This Year
If you only watch the headlines, markets sound uncertain. Interest rates are still high, inflation seems better but not “solved,” and economists switch between optimism and caution almost every week. Yet, while all this noise grabs attention, something more important has been happening quietly underneath. Some companies are simply still winning . Not because markets are calm, but because their business models meet real economic needs, lending money when banks won’t, powering


When Saving Isn’t Enough
The recent decision by a local bank to further reduce interest on savings accounts has once again sparked strong emotions. For many, saving feels like the safest and most trusted way to manage money. So when the return on savings drops, it quickly feels like something is being taken away.

The financial markets are in a phase where the central question is no longer what the next move will be, but how one positions oneself for various scenarios. The recent interest in tangible assets, such as gold, is often interpreted as a sign of fear. In reality, it points to something else: a shift from speculation to resilience. The record levels of the gold price have attracted much attention in recent months. Remarkably, this increase occurs while stock markets are also n


The Quiet Strength of Debt-Free Companies
In times of uncertainty, people often look to the big names or the sectors that move most dramatically on the stock market. Yet, the most interesting investment opportunities are often found in companies that quietly operate in the background. Companies that don’t tell flashy growth stories but that build a solid foundation within their sector through discipline, profitability, and financial peace of mind. A good example comes from the energy sector in Canada. While most atte
