Opportunities in the US stock market in 2025. What changed? [Chills 209 ft Thomas Chua, Chin Hui Leong]

We're pulling back the curtain on some of the more critical trends shaping investments in 2025.

Join us as we welcome two seasoned investment experts, Chin Hui Leong, Co-founder, The Smart Investor, and Thomas Chua, Founder of Steady Compounding, who are about to unpack:

- The surprising AI revolution transforming tech giants

- Why some brands are winning – and others are struggling

- The truth behind the market's long-term growth potential

Is the legendary 8-10% annual return still intact? Are American brands losing their global edge? And what role will artificial intelligence play in reshaping entire industries?

From Meta's AI strategies to the battle between tech titans, this episode promises insights you won't hear anywhere else. We're diving deep into advertising ecosystems, digital transformation, and the critical shifts happening right now.

One hint: Not all industries are created equal, and the winners might surprise you.
