Money and Me: Should investors consider Singapore Savings Bonds as part of their portfolio now?

Can "One Good Trend" take you to investing success? 

Michelle Martin sits down with Joey Choy, Speaker at SGX Academy, to learn how to spot high-conviction trends in Singapore stocks.

Joey talks about how becoming liable for a client's stock market mistake led him to depression. He realized he might have to sell his home with a newborn in tow.

He had to lean on his parents who forked out a half a million dollars to help him out of debt. But he also developed a system he shares with us today.

This episode helps investors understand risk, timing, and the real signals behind market winners.
