It’s been an interesting year for investing so far, which is why I’ve invited Amber Kanwar, former anchor and reporter on BNNBloomberg and now host of the top investing podcast In the Money, to come on show to talk about what’s going on with the markets now and what tips she’s learned from her years of interviewing the best investors in the country. We also discuss her unconventional journey to becoming a finance journalist and now podcast host, as well as what her personal investing strategy looks like.
