When cash is outranking U.S. equities and gold sells off when it's supposed to rally, the advisors holding up aren't reacting faster — they're working from a better framework.In this episode of Raise Your Average, host Pierre Daillie sits down with Paul Kornfeld, Portfolio Manager and Director of Technology Services at SIA Wealth Management, for a wide-ranging conversation on what the firm's rules-based relative strength system is signalling right now — and why those signals have been readable for over a year. Paul walks through SIA's point-and-figure methodology, explaining how millions of pairwise asset comparisons cut through geopolitical noise and behavioural bias to reveal where money is actually flowing. From the Canada-vs.-U.S. rotation that started in April 2024, to the semiconductor-vs.-software divergence that flagged the SaaS repricing before most advisors saw it coming, to a candid story about a Calgary advisor group with zero energy exposure in an oil boom — this episode is a masterclass in process-driven investing. Paul and Pierre also look ahead to the durable themes likely to define the next 12–18 months: real assets over financial assets, international over U.S. broad indices, AI infrastructure over AI software, and the looming wildcard of North American trade renegotiation in Q3.⏱ Chapters00:00 — Introduction: Markets whipsawing, cash beating U.S. equities01:00 — Welcome Paul Kornfeld: Real rotation or relief rally?01:40 — What advisors are asking right now04:36 — SIA's methodology: Relative strength, point-and-figure, opportunity cost07:12 — The goal is alignment, not prediction12:32 — Risk management: The equity action call and the traffic-light model14:01 — Asset class rankings: Cash above U.S. equity, commodities pulling back15:39 — The rotation that started April 2024: International overtakes U.S.17:51 — One takeaway: Reevaluate your U.S. equity weight vs. international21:48 — Gold's anatomy: The longest gold rally Paul has seen29:14 — Tactical sleeves: How advisors can outsource the hard calls31:51 — Canada vs. U.S. sector breakdown: Energy, financials, IT divergence33:44 — Software vs. semiconductors: The SaaS reckoning since ChatGPT40:02 — Data infrastructure: The durable AI theme the market keeps pricing in40:38 — Point-and-figure in action: Salesforce sell signal, CSCO buy signal44:47 — S&P 100 positioning: Semis dominate the top five right now50:06 — Keep politics out of your investing50:56 — TSX60: Energy, mining, chemicals — and the Kinross success story54:13 — The Calgary story: Zero energy exposure in an oil boom56:57 — Buying insurance vs. making a call: Aligning without predicting59:49 — U.S. equities at 65% of global market cap: Is the world overweight?01:03:39 — Durable signals for the next 12–18 months01:05:59 — Real assets, domestic production, AI infrastructure as core theme01:07:16 — Q3 trade negotiations: The biggest wildcard for positioning01:08:47 — Biggest surprise in 12 months: AI disruption, faster than anyone expects01:14:28 — Where to find SIA Wealth and SICharts#RelativeStrength #SIAWealth #SectorRotation #PortfolioManagement #InvestingStrategy #CanadianInvesting #WealthManagement #TacticalAllocation #MomentumInvesting #AIInvesting #GoldBullMarket #EnergyStocks #Semiconductors #SaaSStocks #FinancialAdvisor #InvestmentAdvisor #RaiseYourAverage #MarketRotation #PointAndFigure #BehavioralFinance #EtfInvesting #TSX #SP500 #MacroInvesting #ActiveManagementFind SIA Wealth Management:siawealth.com | siacharts.com

How NaaS Is Simplifying Enterprise ConnectivityIn this clip, Eduardo Pérez, Senior Lead of Strategy & Innovation at Colt Technology Services, explains how Network as a Service is reshaping connectivity.It enables flexible, digital delivery of services like Ethernet and IP access to the cloud. Through Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), traditional hardware, like routers or firewalls, can be virtualized at the provider edge.Instead of managing physical devices on-site, customers can activate services in a plug-and-play way. The result: a smoother end-to-end experience and greater value for enterprises.Listen to the full podcast now- https://premade.outgrow.us/interview-with-Eduardo-Perez #Outgrow #Podcast #EduardoPérez #ColtTechnologyServices #NaaS #NFV #DigitalInfrastructure #TelecomInnovation

In a podcast recorded at ITEXPO / MSP EXPO, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Tomas Sjostrom, CISSP and President of Technology Services at James Moore Co., about how cybersecurity and compliance priorities are evolving for small and mid-sized businesses. Sjostrom explained that James Moore is a long-established CPA firm with more than 60 years of experience serving Florida-based organizations, and nearly three decades delivering IT managed services alongside traditional financial and audit work. As cybersecurity threats increase and regulatory requirements expand, SMBs are showing greater interest in both protecting their environments and demonstrating compliance—often driven by cyber insurance requirements, customer demands, or new business opportunities. A key theme of the discussion focused on how organizations assess and manage cybersecurity risk. Sjostrom emphasized that the process begins with understanding what is motivating a customer's concern, whether it is insurance questionnaires, data protection issues, or compliance mandates tied to industries such as defense contracting. From there, James Moore leverages onboarding and automated discovery tools to establish a baseline and support continuous compliance. “Customers want to meet new requirements as fast as possible, reliably, and without spending excessive time or money,” Sjostrom noted, highlighting the need for scalable and automated approaches. The conversation also touched on AI adoption and compliance readiness. Sjostrom observed that less mature organizations often start with questions around data protection and privacy, while more advanced companies already understand where their critical assets reside and can move more quickly toward compliant AI deployments. As cybersecurity, compliance, and AI increasingly intersect, Sjostrom positioned proactive risk monitoring as a strategic advantage for SMBs working with trusted MSP and advisory partners.

“Cybersecurity has been oversold for too long—expensive, complicated, and not user-friendly. What small and mid-sized businesses really need are affordable, effective protections delivered with education and consultation,” says Tomas Sjostrom, CISSP and President of Technology Services at James Moore Technology Services. At the MSP Summit, Sjostrom sat down with Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to discuss his session, Establishing a Successful Managed Security Program: The Consultation Imperative. His message to MSPs was clear: success depends on understanding both the client's business and the end user's experience. Key insights from the conversation include: Listen first, then recommend: Understanding the client's culture and user needs is as important as the technology itself. Focus on education: Solutions like multi-factor authentication (MFA) can initially feel inconvenient to users, but with training, they quickly see the security benefits. Avoid tech-first thinking: Deployments fail when MSPs expect technology alone to solve problems without preparing end users for change. Partnerships extend reach: To provide personal, local service across the Southeastern U.S., James Moore Technology Services developed a technical services partnership program, enabling trusted partners to step in as direct resources for clients. By blending consultation, training, and the right level of protection, James Moore Technology Services is helping small and mid-sized businesses stay secure without unnecessary complexity.

A message from GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop: This episode of the GeekWire Podcast is unlike any we’ve done before. It touches on some of the most contentious and disputed issues in the tech industry, and in the world more broadly. It started with my curiosity and desire to understand something that happened in March, at GeekWire’s independent Microsoft @ 50 event. I was on stage interviewing Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith when the conversation was interrupted by a protester. The group behind the protest, called No Azure for Apartheid, represents current and former Microsoft employees who want the company to end its cloud computing and AI contracts with the Israeli military. They cite concerns over how they believe their work is being used by Israel. Addressing the larger issues raised by the group, Microsoft said in a May 15 post that it conducted internal and external reviews and “found no evidence to date that Microsoft’s Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza.” After covering Microsoft’s statements and the group’s response — and seeing the continued protests unfold at Microsoft events — I decided to dig deeper and learn more. As part of that, I invited one of the organizers of No Azure for Apartheid to join me on this podcast, for a conversation about the motivations behind the group, their views on Microsoft’s responsibilities, and how the tech industry intersects with international conflicts. Our guest is software engineer Hossam Nasr, who was fired by Microsoft last year related to protests on the Microsoft campus. In fact, he was the first to protest inside the GeekWire event. What followed was a complex conversation — one that at times went beyond Microsoft’s role into broader political and ethical criticisms of Israel’s actions in Gaza. These are deeply polarizing issues, and we know there are strong, divergent opinions about them. I’ve added context conveying Microsoft’s responses, and noting areas where statements and characterizations about Israel, Palestine, and Gaza are the subject of dispute. The conversation includes detailed descriptions of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and some historical comparisons that some listeners may find disturbing or offensive. And lastly, we recorded this conversation in late May, before the latest developments in the Middle East.

Enterprise Ireland and the National Cyber Security Centre today launched the Cyber Security Review Grant which will assist SMEs to take steps to review and update their online security measures to mitigate against the risk of cyber-attacks. The grant will be administered by Enterprise Ireland, in collaboration with the National Cyber Security Centre. It will provide Enterprise Ireland clients with access to cyber security experts who will conduct an initial independent review of the company's cyber security status, identify vulnerabilities, and develop a clear roadmap for the business to enhance their security measures. The Cyber Security Review Grant is being made available from €85 million in funds that have been allocated to the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment through the European Union's NextGenerationEU funding instrument for supporting the digital transformation of enterprise as part of Ireland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan. This funding is being channelled into: • The Digital Transition Fund for the establishment of a digital portal and to provide for direct to company supports. • Four European Digital Innovation Hubs with the aim of helping companies (notably SMEs) access research infrastructure, technical expertise and experimentation in order that these organisations can 'test before invest'. A suite of digital supports for enterprise is already available under the Digital Transition Fund through Enterprise Ireland, IDA and Údarás na Gaeltachta and the Cyber Security Review Grant launched today expands on the digital supports available from Enterprise Ireland to its clients under this Fund. Businesses that avail of the Cyber Security Review will receive consultancy from a qualified, external cyber security expert who will investigate current company practices and review the technical implementation of both on-site and cloud software. A detailed report in line with National Cyber Security Centre's best practise will then be delivered, outlining actionable steps to improve the company's cyber security position. Speaking at the launch Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation Dara Calleary TD said: "Irish businesses are increasingly using AI and advanced digital tools to achieve success in international markets. Ensuring the security of the data used in these tools is a crucial foundation for this success. This new cyber security grant will ensure that Irish businesses who embrace digitalisation to strengthen and grow their business can do so with total confidence in their online security." Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail Emer Higgins TD said: "Irish businesses are leading the way and setting the standard for digital transformation across all sectors. They understand the value of enhancing their digital security. I am delighted that the Cyber Security Grant will provide support with the essential first steps towards achieving international best practices in cyber security, an increasingly important factor when competing for business on a global stage." Minister of State with responsibility for Public Procurement, eGovernment and Circular Economy Ossian Smyth TD said: "DECC's Statement of Strategy, Le Chéile 25, sets an ambitious objective to realise a vibrant and expert cyber security industry in Ireland. The collaboration of the NCSC with Enterprise Ireland to deliver this first-of-its-kind grant scheme represents a key milestone in Le Chéile 25 and in the National Cyber Security Strategy 2019-2024." Anne Lanigan, Divisional Manager, Technology Services, Enterprise Ireland, said: "Leveraging digital tools can significantly enhance your company's capabilities.

During this conversation Jen discusses transition careers, getting promoted, and networking with influential people. QUOTES FROM JEN “The job description is not always the best indicator of what it actually takes to get into that role. That's probably the first mistake that I see people make because if you're relying on the job description, you're basically reading the bare minimums of the role” “If you are networking, it helps to actually know people who are going to be on the team that you're going to be part of, because they already have the ear of the director that you might be trying to get a manager level role from.” “You want to have a growth mindset, which is once you've hit really good at what you do, it's time to pass the baton to somebody else so that you can stretch out your arm and get the next baton.”   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 | Introduction and Background 2:27 | Jen's backstory 4:31 | Mistakes stopping you from moving up 13:59 | Common misconceptions 22:57 | Influencing people 27:51 | Promotions 34:43 | Preparing for the opportunity 41:18 | Getting rejected from a promotion opportunity 46:26 | Jen's one big obstacle she overcame 47:53 | Closing   RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Jen Braganza on Social Media:Linkedin Chan With A Plan Max Chan on Social Media
