Money and Me: Is gold still a good investment in 2026?

ExxonMobil and Chevron have delivered strong quarterly profits - but how much of that earnings strength can last? Lance Alexander and Willie Keng, Founder of Dividend Titan examine what lies behind Big Oil’s cash generation, whether refining offers protection when oil prices change, and what shareholders can expect from dividends and buybacks.

Meanwhile, what does DBS need to reveal in its upcoming results about lending income, wealth management and dividend sustainability? And after the Bank of Japan’s rate hold, which Japanese businesses could benefit from higher borrowing costs - and how might the yen affect Singapore investors?

In Up or Down: AEM, UMS Integration and Frencken following Friday’s semiconductor sell-off. Have their investment cases improved, or do earnings risks justify caution? Plus, US midterm elections and the October jobs report: which could have the more lasting impact on markets?

Eight new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have joined the Singapore Exchange in October, offering investors access to the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, global equities, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and artificial intelligence. But which ones are worth considering, and do more ETFs necessarily mean better diversification? Lance Alexander speaks with Tim Phillips, Founder, TimTalksMoney about the differences between these funds, the risks of investing in individual markets and AI, and what investors should know about fees and currency exposure. They also discuss whether global ETFs are truly diversified and how Singapore investors can balance local stocks with overseas investments.
