Investing in Uncertain Times: Ross Healy’s Three Standout Stocks

Ross Healy identifies market opportunities amid economic uncertainty, highlighting silver, dividends, and gold as key investment themes for 2025.

Editorial Team (ET)September 30, 2026

Ross Healy, chairman of the Strategic Analysis Corporation and portfolio manager at MacNicol & Associates Asset Management, provides a sobering yet pragmatic view of the North American markets. With the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 reaching historically high valuations, investors are left wondering whether these inflated levels can hold in the face of economic and political uncertainties.

The U.S. balance sheet remains weak, and global economic stability is equally precarious. The Republican push for tax cuts brings further risks, and with the uncertainty of Donald Trump's policy direction, businesses find long-term planning more difficult than ever. A tariff war looms as another major concern, with potential consequences for inflation and economic stability. Amid these challenges, Healy identifies key investment opportunities that could thrive despite the volatility.

Fortuna Mining: A Silver Lining in Precious Metals

Silver stocks have been lagging behind gold, but Healy believes that a correction is on the horizon. Fortuna Mining, trading on the TSX under the ticker FVI, is a standout candidate for this potential silver surge. The company has been undervalued, partially due to analyst skepticism, but Healy sees this as an opportunity rather than a deterrent.

Silver often follows gold in bullish cycles, and with gold showing strength, Fortuna Mining is poised for a significant upside. The company has strong fundamentals and remains resilient despite short-term bearish sentiment in the sector. Investors looking for an entry point into the precious metals market could find this stock an attractive option.

Power Corporation: A Dividend Play with Growth Potential

Power Corporation, trading as POW on the TSX, presents a compelling case for investors seeking stability and income. Offering a 4.6 percent dividend yield, the company has a strong balance sheet and a history of growth.

Under the leadership of Paul Demarais Sr., Power Corporation was a powerhouse in Canadian finance. However, following his tenure, the company’s trajectory plateaued as his successors adopted a more passive approach. This led to growing shareholder frustration, which eventually resulted in the hiring of professional management with a mandate to reinvigorate the company's growth strategy.

Now, with new leadership in place, Power Corporation appears poised for a resurgence. Healy suggests that patient investors may soon see the benefits of these strategic changes, making this stock a solid choice for those seeking both income and potential capital appreciation.

OceanaGold: Strength in Stability

OceanaGold, listed as OGC on the TSX, is another top pick that benefits from a strong balance sheet and operations in politically stable regions. The company has a solid track record in gold production and, according to Healy, represents an excellent leveraged play on rising bullion prices.

Historically, analysts have been slow to adjust their earnings forecasts for gold companies, leading to undervaluation in the sector. Healy believes OceanaGold is well-positioned to capitalize on an upward trend in gold prices, making it a valuable addition to any diversified portfolio.

In uncertain times, gold remains a crucial asset for investors. OceanaGold provides not only exposure to the metal but also a strong operational foundation that mitigates some of the risks associated with smaller mining ventures.

Final Thoughts

Ross Healy’s top picks reflect a blend of defensive positioning and strategic opportunity. Fortuna Mining offers a chance to benefit from an anticipated silver rally, Power Corporation provides stability with growth potential, and OceanaGold remains a strong hedge against economic uncertainty.

With global markets teetering on unpredictability, these selections highlight Healy’s preference for assets that can withstand volatility while offering significant upside. As investors navigate 2025, his insights provide a valuable roadmap for those seeking both security and opportunity in a turbulent economic landscape.
