Money and Me: Tariffs and You 

When markets shake, your instincts may tell you to run  and turn your equities into cash - but history suggests, that action may be an expensive mistake.

Michelle Martin speaks with Tim Phillips, Founder of TimTalksMoney, about why investors instinctively flee equities during turmoil - and why that move may actually be self-sabotage.

What separates disciplined investors from panicked sellers in turbulent times?

We find out in this episode of Money and Me hosted by Michelle Martin.

A 200-year-old trading empire is looking good.

Asian conglomerate Jardine Matheson posts strong earnings and a higher dividend as its property, retail and infrastructure empire powers ahead.

Meanwhile, Oracle delivers strong profits on AI demand - but investors are questioning whether its debt-fuelled data-center buildout could become tomorrow’s risk.

On Wall Street, HSBC says peak fear around the Iran oil spike may have passed - and argues it’s time to overweight equities again.

Markets, strategy and the stories behind the numbers - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

What if inflation isn’t an accident - but a feature of the system?

In this episode of Money and Me, hosted by Michelle Martin, we dive beneath the headlines with Paul Musson, author of Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit At Your Expense.

Musson argues that the modern monetary system quietly redistributes wealth - often from savers and wage earners to asset owners.

We unpack why many investors confuse money with real capital, and why that matters.

The conversation explores declining trust in systems, the role of central banks, and whether gold or cryptocurrencies are rational responses.

Finally, we examine what a future might look like in a world of rising debt, deficits and monetary expansion.
