Money and Me: Are ILPs an affordable way to accumulate wealth?

Gold and silver just gave investors a brutal reminder: safe havens can still whipsaw.

After blistering rallies into early 2026, both metals have plunged as a stronger U.S. dollar, ETF unwinds and crowded positioning collide.

Silver’s extreme swings  highlight how fragile liquidity can be when sentiment turns.

Gold has fared better, but even it is facing its sharpest pullback in years as rate expectations reset.

So is this a temporary correction - or the end of the precious-metals bull case? Should we still all be lining to buy gold?

We break it all down, hosted by Michelle Martin who speaks with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, Head of Consumer and Internet at Alethea Capital.

Where is Gold and Silver Going? From Record Highs to Violent Reversals

What if the real risk in buying a home isn’t interest rates - but your job?

In early 2026, AI disruption, shifting HDB policies and volatile careers are forcing buyers to rethink what “affordable” really means.

Shorter BTO waiting times promise relief for young couples, but could trigger unexpected ripple effects across resale.

At the same time, the long-standing price gap between RCR and CCR or prime and slightly beyond prime districts has narrowed to levels that are seeing some sit up.

What does this all mean for you and your wealth journey?

Ivan Cai, CEO of Crestbrick, breaks down what this new property cycle means for buyers and investors, hosted by Michelle Martin.
