Money and Me: Should you wait for rates to fall before buying real estate in Singapore?

It used to be the good old reliable way to grow wealth, but is it time to look away from this old favourite? 

As concentration risk hits record highs, one dividend investor says the S&P 500 is no longer the “safe default.”

Willie Keng of Dividend Titan explains why valuations look disconnected from reality - and what he uses instead to judge fair value.

We explore three unexpected alternatives: Hershey in the US, Lendlease REIT in Singapore, and Indonesian brewer Multi Bintang.

From cocoa prices to commercial property and emerging market dividends, this episode challenges passive investing assumptions.

All this and more, hosted by Michelle Martin.

Market View: Earnings strength doesn’t guarantee stock gains, High Rollers & Hot Commodities

Big Tech earnings are splitting the market right down the middle - Meta soars, Microsoft stumbles, and investors are asking whether AI spending is starting to bite.

Big Tech earnings dominate today’s Market View as Meta and Microsoft head in sharply different directions.

Meta delivers blockbuster results, with fourth-quarter revenue jumping 24% and investors cheering its confidence to ramp up AI investment - even with spending set to surge this year.

Microsoft, meanwhile, beats expectations but unsettles markets by flagging slower cloud growth, triggering a sell-off despite strong headline numbers.

The earnings picture widens with our UP or DOWN round: Tesla grapples with its weakest annual profit since the pandemic, Starbucks shows signs of a long-awaited turnaround, while SK Hynix and Samsung ride relentless demand for AI-driven memory and chips.

Markets zoom out as the S&P 500 briefly tops 7,000 before retreating, with the U.S. Federal Reserve holding rates steady under continued pressure from President Donald Trump.

We end back home in Singapore, tracking STI movers and new SGX board lot changes, before closing with a cultural curveball - the Grammys!

K-pop is entering the fray and Michelle shares her pick for an artist who signals a deeper shift from spectacle to substance.
