Is it time to get defensive? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, top-performing stock picker Lyle Stein, President of  Forvest Canada returns with a warning for investors: \"This is a time to be more cautious than optimistic.\"\nAfter delivering some of the show's strongest stock picks last year, Stein is taking a more selective approach. He's trimmed his exposure to precious metals, sold Google (GOOGL), and remains deeply skeptical of Canadian banks and big oil producers. He argues that investors should stop chasing stocks at record highs and start looking for quality companies that have fallen out of favour.

Plus, is the selloff in Alamos Gold (AGI) an opportunity or a warning sign for gold investors?\nIn Pro Picks, Stein revisits last year's successful recommendations,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/er9NR63MREFV6i2rlZX8f-yMY6gNSK83fNUOzBPoSt8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZmQy/OWMwNmEzY2Y0YTg1/NjM4MjQ3Y2NjMWYy/Zjk1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
