What if Budget 2026 could change the way you use your SRS , own your first home and teach your children about money?

Ahead of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s statement, we unpack ideas that could meaningfully reshape financial security in Singapore from a personal finance perspective. 

Elijah Lee, Senior Financial Services Manager, Phillip Securities, shares his view on why SRS reform could be a powerful lever for retirement flexibility and tax efficiency.

We examine how stronger first-property support can balance affordability without reigniting a property bubble, think through structural cost-of-living solutions - and why financial literacy in schools may be the ultimate long-term hedge.

A forward-looking conversation on Singapore budget priorities, hosted by Michelle Martin.

Money and Me: What Budget 2026 could help Singaporeans with.

Hasbro soars, Mattel stumbles - and the gap between winners and losers has never looked wider.

From a tale of two toymakers to sharp earnings surprises across global giants, today’s Market View unpacks what really drives stocks UP or DOWN.

Hasbro jumps to a one-year high as new IP like K-Pop Demon Hunters and Harry Potter reignite growth, while Mattel sinks on discounting pressure and weak holiday sales.

We size up mixed earnings signals from Coca-Cola, Ford, Spotify and Gucci-owner Kering, revealing how pricing power and execution are separating leaders from laggards.

US markets churn as the S&P 500 briefly hits a record before pulling back, while bold claims from President Donald Trump on 15% growth add policy noise to investor nerves.

Closer to home, we track Singapore movers including NTT DC REIT, Wing Tai and Boustead - hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.

Market View : Toy Titans, Earnings Whiplash & the Price of Reinvention

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this is the show that keeps your peace of mind at the heart of the wealth chase.

When everything feels chaotic - wars, inflation, de-dollarisation fears and gold is rising - what if the smartest financial move is knowing when to stop chasing more?

Drawing on insights from Christopher Tan, CEO of Providend, the conversation challenges the reflex to maximise, leverage, and hustle at all costs.

Michelle and Chris unpack the most common investor mistakes during periods of volatility - from freezing in fear to making emotionally reactive moves.

Gold makes a comeback in the headlines, but is it an investment, a hedge, or simply psychological insurance?

The discussion also tackles the modern obsession with side hustles and multiple income streams - and whether more money always means more security.

At the heart of it all: where to draw the line between building wealth and actually living the life that wealth is meant to support.

Money and Me : When Gold is So High, Should you Buy?

With Microsoft shares down more than 15% year-to-date, Michelle zeros in on a debate that couldn't be timelier for investors.

Microsoft splits Wall Street - one broker waves the red flag, another doubles down on AI-driven upside.

Who’s right?

Microsoft is at the heart of a sharp broker divide, with Melius Research downgrading the stock over free cash flow pressures while D.A. Davidson turns bullish on the AI ecosystem surrounding OpenAI.

We unpack why one camp is worried about subscription growth and capital intensity, while the other sees long-term operating leverage from AI adoption.

From the US to Japan, markets also react to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election win - and Warren Buffett’s winning Japan strategy.

Our UP or DOWN segment checks in on Montage Technology, Novo Nordisk, NatWest, and Oracle amid volatile global trading.

Plus, local market movers on the STI and a surprising box office twist in today’s Last Word, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang.
