How to put buy and sell orders in the Philippine Stock Market with an Online Stockbroker

Opening your online trading account to start investing in the Philippine stock market requires a minimal value. Many online brokers allow you to start with as low as 5k pesos. In fact, if you have an existing bank account with BPI and Metrobank, you can open a trading account even with zero capital. 

But opening a trading account under your chosen stockbroker is just the first step towards becoming an investor. For you to buy your first share of your first company, you should know how to place an order and in so doing, make your voice in the stock market world. It’s actually very easy. If you’re at ease with reading this blog or facebooking, it will be that simple.

Below discussion tackles how to place your orders in the stock market through an online stockbroker. Unlike having a traditional broker where you communicate your order through a phone call or text message, online trading allows you to place your order directly through the internet. That means you can practically put you order from anywhere in the world, as long as you have any device (PC, laptop, mobile phone, etc) that can connect to the world-wide-web.
Here are the prerequisites:
1.  You should already have your chosen stockbroker.
2.  You should already have your log-on details.
Once you have above, log-on to your stockbroker’s site. Just look around the site and you can easily spot where you can put your orders.

Free Downloads for those without facebook account


In my last blog I urged you to get your free resources that will nourish your life and mind from our facebook group.
But I realized not everyone has facebook account.

So if you don’t have a facebook account and don’t want to create one either, we can use dropbox instead. 

What is a dropbox? Here’s what its creator said:
 Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere. Any file you save to your Dropbox will also automatically save to all your computers, phones, and even the Dropbox website. This means that you can start working on your computer at school or the office, and finish on your home computer. Never email yourself a file again!

Install one in your computer and it will only be few clicks before you can have those useful ebooks saved right in your computer. Though you can still download without the installation of dropbox, installing it is actually much easier since no need to download for yourself as your computer does it for you. You simply wait for your dropbox folders to synchronize the files in your computer (or any device) from my computer. Besides, I might also use dropbox for other future files I’d share.

Click here to install. I’ll share the link of all the downloads in the next blog.

Have fun investing!
Happy National Heroes’ Day!

Maligayang Pag-uukol ng Biyaya!

Pamilihang Sapi ng Pilipinas kung tawagin
Tambakan ng bawat yaman natin
Pag angat nito’y ating dalangin
Nang sa pagtanda’y may huhugutin

Simulan nang mas maaga
Mag-impok sa tuwina
Sa konting disiplina
Tiyak yayaman ka.

Munti man at maliit
Basta’t gawing malimit
Hinaharap ay isaisip
Mithiin mo’y makakamit

Kaya Pinoy simulan na
Sakay na, sakay na
O anong  kaysaya
Pangarap mo’y abot-kamay na!

Maligayang Buwan ng Wika! At Maligayang Pag-uukol ng Biyaya!

Four Investment Lessons A Monsoon can Teach Us

Four Investment Lessons A Monsoon can Teach Us

Habagat has certainly devastated Metro Manila. I for one who resides in Quezon City have witnessed the continuous torrential rain that caused massive floods in NCR and surrounding provinces. Classes were suspended, even some government and private offices. PSE was also forced to suspend its one trading day. In fact, until now, rain is falling at the rhythm of loud kidlat and kulog, something not present in the previous days.

But is this really new? History has shown us that this has been one of our problems. The sad fact is that the condition simply gets worse through time. 

But we can also take this as a learning opportunity rather than as a mere uncontrollable disaster.
It can teach us some lessons on investments.

  • Invest for your protection. You don’t know when these events will strike you. A safety net help you feel more at peace in times like this.
  • Invest when it seems not needed – Invest for your emergency fund. This should be always replenished and increased after every emergency.
  • Invest in what really matters – Times like this make us think about the things that really matter to us.  
  • Lastly, invest in others.  We Filipinos can still prove that our very own bayanihan spirit is still alive until now.

It’s very difficult to impart positive vibes when all you see are people stranded, homes vanished and livelihood taken, but there must be some reason why God tells us to rejoice always.

After all, when all the rain has been poured down, the sun will surely shine and give us a clear sky once again, a new faith and a new hope, with a new perspective in life.

How to increase your cash flow – The Phases of Financial Life
Investors know that the first requirement to investing in Philippine stock market is cash flow.
Have you ever heard yourself saying “If I only had some cash now, I’d surely take this buying opportunity!”
If your answer is a resounding echoing yes, then it probably only means two things – you do not use this first tip & trick in investing or you’re really lacking in your cash flow.

To solve the latter, it’s important to assess at which phase of financial life you’re in now and take the appropriate course of actions. If you remember, in the last blog I shared some life investments you can take that will give you the best returns.

Phases of Life

There are two phases of one’s life familiar to many.
Phase 1 is when people is working for you.
Phase 2 is when you are working for money.

Should bonds be part of my portfolio?

Below is a good read article from Inquirer Business authored  Efren Cruz.       
It was Sir Efren who conducted the first two days of the finance program I’m currently attending now.
With TDY having risen ceiling in two consecutive trading days (do you think it’ll rise the third time tomorrow?), let’s sit back for a while, sip your coffee (HAHA) and welcome bonds into our investments.
