#26 - The #1 Factor That Beats a Company’s Financials! Gold, Coffee & Why Singapore’s Market Surprises | Nirgunan Tiruchelvam: “A company’s financial health is not directly correlated to its stock price!” “Boring isn’t bad in the equities market.”

Many investors obsess over numbers, charts, earnings, and market noise. But what if the real edge came from something far less obvious?

In this episode, I speak with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam — Head of Consumer and Internet at Aletheia Capital and author of Investing in the COVID Era — about seeing equity markets in a completely different way.

We dive into why strong financials don’t always mean a strong stock price, what coffee prices tell you about perceptions of value, and why gold and oil prices sometimes tell a different story when compared to their equities.

From Singapore’s quietly performing equity market to the rise of stablecoins, and how to cut through the noise when choosing a digital wealth platform, this is a conversation that might just change how you see investing.
