Guest: Warren Mak (Co-Founder & CEO), Ted Optimus
Malaysians are investing more than ever, but many are doing so in a market flooded with hype, social media tips, and unverified “gurus.” The result? Emotional decision-making, rising losses, and growing distrust among retail investors.
We speak with Warren Mak, CEO and Co-Founder of Ted Optimus, about why so many Malaysians struggle to invest sustainably, and how his platform aims to help investors slow down, think rationally, and separate real opportunities from costly noise.
He shares how his experience in investor education led him to build Trade Wizard, a platform that combines AI-powered stock insights with practical financial education, designed specifically for local retail traders.
From scam culture and Telegram tips to building discipline, trust, and long-term investing habits, we take a candid look at what smarter investing in Malaysia could, and should look like.
