Many investors are scratching their heads and wondering about the continued rise of stock prices, a run that started in the fall of 2022. Is it real or are things getting carried away?

During a cross-Canada tour last month, we addressed this question. Our chief investment officer, Salman Ahmed, told clients that things are normal, more normal than they’ve been in many years.

Some of these strategies have investment merit but, as in 2021, what’s noteworthy is how many high-risk, high-volatility, high-valuation things are raging at the same time.
