About this episode

Michelle Martin discusses the complexities of the 'buy the dip' strategy in today's volatile market with Brian See Toh.

What if the biggest investing mistake today is assuming every dip is a bargain? Michelle Martin explores whether the familiar “buy the dip” strategy still holds in today's market shaped by oil shocks, inflation pressures, and shifting rate expectations. Joined by Brian See Toh, Financial Services Manager at PhillipCapital, the conversation unpacks why today’s pullbacks may be fundamentally different from past quick rebounds. How can investors tell the difference between a short-term dip and a deeper market reset? We break down when averaging in makes sense, what to review before deploying capital, and how to avoid reacting emotionally to falling prices. Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode offers a disciplined framework to help investors align market moves with their long-term life and wealth plans.
