Which stocks soared, which ones crashed, and what can investors learn from the biggest surprises of 2026 so far? In this special mid-year review, Amber Kanwar and Executive Producer Jillian Glickman look back at every Pro Pick featured on In the Money over the past year. They reveal the top-performing stocks, the biggest disappointments, and rank the fund managers whose ideas delivered the strongest returns. From AI memory-chip winners like Samsung (KRX: 005930) to Bird Construction (TSX: BDT), Canada's energy boom, hard assets, healthcare, and the surprising absence of the Magnificent Seven from the top of the leaderboard, they break down the trends that have defined the market so far. They also revisit some of the show's most memorable investment stories—including Better Home & Finance (NASDAQ: BETR), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL), Sprott Inc. (TSX: SII), OpenDoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN), Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX), and more—and discuss what worked, what didn't, and why patience can be one of an investor's greatest advantages. Plus, Amber and Jillian share highlights from the podcast's incredible year, including the growth of In the Money , the Calgary Stampede live show, a preview of the upcoming Canadian innovation series, and what's coming this fall. Whether you've followed every Pro Pick or are looking for new investing ideas, this episode is your mid-year report card on the market—and on the experts who called it best.
