Money and Me: What you should be doing in a rising interest rate environment

In China’s 2026 market, survival isn’t about buying the dip - it’s about finding the moat.

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we dissect why investors are shifting from momentum plays to structural dominance with Willie Keng, Founder of Dividend Titan (https://www.dividendtitan.com/).

We explore four defining themes and why hyper-competitive sectors are being left behind.

From China Tower’s near-97% telecom dominance to Tencent’s evolving identity from growth darling to cash-generating powerhouse, we unpack where durability lies.

We also assess whether LVMH can maintain pricing power amid China’s luxury fatigue and the rise of local brands.

Finally, in an easter egg  moment, our guest shares his view on the rush for gold from the value investor perspective.

Money and Me: Anti-involution China strategies for the dividend investor 

Will dividends, one-off gains and Washington politics reshape market momentum this week?

In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack why OCBC’s Q4 profit rose 3% to S$1.75 billion and what its special dividend signals about capital strength.

We compare performance across Singapore’s banking trio - OCBC, DBS, and UOB - and examine why OCBC shares are outperforming.

Then we turn to Singapore Airlines, where record operating revenue contrasts sharply with a steep drop in net earnings after last year’s Vistara one-off gain.

From there, we assess what investors will be listening for as U.S. President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union - tariffs, cost-of-living pressures, and election risk in focus.

In UP or DOWN, we track deal tension around Warner Bros. 

Discovery, Paramount, Stripe, PayPal, JPMorgan Chase, and Genting Singapore, before checking whether the STI is clawing back losses.
