What’s the secret to his success? Simply to: “Buy cheap”. He’s got strong opinions on bonds (spoiler: not a fan) and shares the importance of building networks and spotting signals to make confident moves.

Melvin brings his real estate perspective into the mix, contrasting Tay’s stock market manoeuvres and how property popularity plays into successful investments. Get ready for a blend of finance talk and invaluable lessons that will reshape how you think about investing. Find out what Chi Keng thinks of the stock market’s future as well.
