Money and Me: How do investors make moves when markets seem only to be moving higher?

Is the next big move in U.S. markets a continuation of the rally - or the setup for a sharp reckoning?

Simon Ree, Founder of Tao of Trading, shares his base case for 2026.

We unpack what the options market is signaling about an imminent Fed rate cut, and why interest rates still matter for risk assets.

From the AI investment boom and earnings resilience to megacap dominance, Simon explains what’s structural versus what’s becoming a crowded trade.

We also drill into key risks - from stretched valuations and weak market breadth to capex-heavy Big Tech and tariff shocks.

A clear 2026 playbook for everyday investors - hosted by Michelle Martin.

Is this the point where S-REITs start to reclaim their shine?

Singapore’s REIT landscape is stirring back to life as investors eye the long-anticipated rate-cut cycle - but recovery may not be a straight line. 

In this episode hosted by Michelle Martin, Tim Phillips, Founder of TimTalksMoney, breaks down the bright spots and blind spots across major S-REITs.

We dissect CapitaLand Ascendas REIT, Lendlease Global Commercial REIT, and Keppel DC REIT to understand their  growth drivers, and exposure risks.
