Morning Shot: The Power of Balance - A Psychologist's Guide to Flexible Work Arrangements

Will the U.S. Fed announce two rate cuts in 2024? One? Maybe even none? 

It's anybody's guess what the world's most influential central bank will do with respect to monetary policy this year, but irrespective of that, investors will continue to park their money somewhere.

So what impact will either scenario have on various asset classes? Are corporate or government bonds more in vogue these days and why? And what are the most common concerns and mistakes investors tend to make?

Stephen Tong, Senior Institutional Portfolio Manager, Franklin Income Investors, answers these questions and also informs us about the Franklin Income Fund's asset allocation strategy in the current market environment, and how it has remained such an attractive proposition for investors over so many years.

Mind Your Business: From batter to better - how does CakeInspiration's second gen rise to the occasion?

We’ve all heard tales like this: people who manage to sell their old collectibles for a good chunk of money. Last week, a large collection of rare Pokémon cards was sold at auction for more than SGD$93,000. Barbie dolls are going for thousands, and even Polly Pockets are making a comeback!

Audrey, Ryan and Emaad talk about their old collections, and how you can figure out if the stuff in your bomb shelters and store rooms are worth any money.
