Value stocks are generally believed to be a better bet comparing to growth stocks in the very long term. However, this has not been the case for the last decade.

In this webinar, Michael LeBlanc will dive into what the value stocks are, his reasoning behind a positive forecast for value investing in the year to come, as well as top value stock picks at the moment.

The stock market just hit another all time high this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) topped the 30,000 mark for the first time ever, while the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) also set a new closing high. Even the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC), which had been quicker to set new records earlier in 2020, finished just shy of its high-water mark.

Why is this happening and who's to thank for the market rally? And are you interested in learning about stocks that are hitting an all-time high?

Most, if not all, of this year's performance has been focused on a select group of sectors, some of which were already enjoying very strong momentum even before the pandemic struck. These sectors have been seen as big beneficiaries of the changes wrought by COVID-19, such as working and shopping from home, as well as the accelerated adoption of new technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and increased cyber security.

In this webinar, Michael LeBlanc will talk about investing in technology. Who are the market leaders? Is this another technology bubble? 2000 vs 2020: what differences are we seeing in the markets? As well as future threats and opportunities of this sector.

If you will excuse a bad pun, gold has certainly shone in 2020. The price of the metal is up more than 25% on the year, according to Bloomberg data, even after coming off its August peak of US$2,060 per ounce – an all-time high in nominal (not inflation-adjusted) terms. Meanwhile, gold equities have also enjoyed a remarkable surge. That has put gold on the minds of many investors, some of whom – those who pay attention to history – must undoubtedly be wondering if the rally is for real.

In this webinar, Michael LeBlanc will focus on the future of gold and also discuss the latest global economy and market trends and updates.

Please join us for an informative live webinar featuring Tony Dwyer, Managing Director, Macroeconomist & Chief Market Strategist

Topic: Tony will discuss the outcome and impact of the election.

Thursday, November 5th, 2020 at 12:00 pm PST.

Please fill out the form below or click the RSVP button to reserve your spot via email.

In a true statement of the obvious, this is the most complicated election-year setup we could possibly have. We can already see the issue of the nomination of the next Supreme Court Justice having an impact on this fragile environment.

Frankly, the outcome of these issues is truly unpredictable, and we believe making an investment decision based on the political landscape at this point would be simply guessing.

As a result, on November 3, 2020 we would like to host the Election Day live webinar focused on what markets can tell us about the US election and its potential outcomes.
