Oil spikes, gold stumbles, and private funds start locking the gates - are investors missing the real risks?

March has reshaped the investing landscape as geopolitical tensions send oil soaring and markets into flux, hosted by Michelle Martin.

Brent crude surges past $120, forcing investors to rethink inflation, energy exposure and portfolio resilience.

At the same time, gold’s unexpected decline challenges its role as the ultimate safe haven in times of crisis.

We also unpack why private credit funds are “gating” redemptions - and what that signals about underlying liquidity risks.

Plus, why Asia may feel the pain of higher oil prices more acutely than the rest of the world - and what investors should watch next.

Money and Me: Oil Shock, Gold Paradox & The Hidden Risks in Private Credit

What if walking away from millions is actually the smartest move you’ll ever make?

Michelle Martin sits down with Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder of The Smart Investor, to unpack the psychology of selling stocks - and why profits locked in are never a failure.

From the painful “could have been” to the discipline of knowing when enough is enough, this episode reframes what success really looks like in investing.

We explore how to decide when to sell - even if a company is still performing - and why your personal goals matter more than market narratives.

For new investors, Hui Leong shares how to build conviction, when to move beyond ETFs, and why patience must be balanced with action.

It’s a conversation about clarity, not regret - hosted by Michelle Martin.
