Is now the right time of investing in Philippine stock market?

How do you start investing in the Philippine Stock Market? This is one common question from new investors who are just to start investing in the Philippine stock market.

To help you get started, I dedicated two pages that outline the basics and essentials of investing in the Philippine stock market for beginners who have zero knowledge of what Philippine stocks investing is all about. You can check below pages:

How to start

But is now the right time to start putting your money in Philippine stocks?

Well no less than the president of the Philippines has given center stage the favor and recognition Philippines is currently enjoying and earning now from different respected financial institutions around the globe.

If foreign nations and institutions believe of the good future of Philippine stocks, then the more reason s we have now to keep invested in good quality Philippine stocks.

Below is an excerpt of President Noynoy Aquino’s SONA 2012 last Monday.

Ang dating sick man of Asia, ngayon, punung-puno na ng sigla. Nang nagkaroon tayo ng positive credit rating action, ang sabi ng iba, tsamba. Ngayong walo na po sila, tsamba pa rin kaya? [Applause] Sa Philippine Stock Exchange index, nang una nating nahigitan ang 4,000 na index, may mga nagduda. Ngayon, sa dami ng all-time high, pati economic managers, nahirapan yata sa pagbilang, at ako rin po ay nagulat: nakakaapatnapu’t apat na pala tayo, at bihira nang bumaba sa 5,000 ang index. [Applause] Nito pong first quarter ng 2012, ang GDP growth natin, 6.4 percent; milya-milya ang layo niyan sa mga prediksyon, at pinakamataas sa buong Southeast Asian region; pangalawa po ito sa Asya, sunod lang tayo sa Tsina. [Applause] Kung dati po, tayo ang laging nangungutang, ngayon, hindi po birong tayo na ang nagpapautang. [Applause] Dati, namamalimos tayo ng investments; ngayon, sila na ang dumadagsa. Ang mga kumpanyang Hapon, sa isang pagpupulong po namin, ang sabi ay, “Baka gusto n’yo kaming silipin. Hindi nga kami ang pinakamura, pero una naman kami sa teknolohiya.” Pati pinuno ng isa pong malaking bangko sa Inglatera, kamakailan nakipag-usap sa atin, ang sinabi, maisali sana sila sa ating kinukunsulta sa usapang pinansyal.

Sa bawat sulok ng mundo, nagpapakita ng paghanga ang mga komentarista. Ayon sa Bloomberg Businessweek, and I quote: “Keep an eye on the Philippines.” Ang Foreign Policy magazine, pati isa sa mga pinuno ng ASEAN 100, nagsabing maaari daw tayong maging, and I quote, “Asia’s Next Tiger.” [Applause] Sabi ni Ruchir Sharma, pinuno ng Emerging Market Equities and Global Macro ng Morgan Stanley, I quote: “The Philippines is no longer a joke.” At mukha naman pong hindi siya nambobola, dahil tinatayang isang bilyong dolyar ang ipinasok ng kanyang kumpanya sa atin pong bansa. [Applause] Sana nga po, ang kaliwa’t kanang paghanga ng taga-ibang bansa, masundan na ng lokal na tagapagbalita. [Applause]

This is definitely a good news, but we also have to bear in mind that developments like will be more evident in a much longer timeframe of investing. Doing short-term pursuits because of this may not be sustainable.

Personally, I believe that Philippines is one of the prime countries to benefit from continuous outsourcing of jobs from abroad. We’re fluent enough with the English language and have established a good reputation in terms of working relationships with our clients. In fact, Philippines was recently tagged as number one in terms of business language fluency. Recognitions like this give us Filipinos the advantage to receive more jobs from foreign countries. I hope that time will come when Filipinos will no longer need to go abroad to look for jobs as job themselves will start looking for great Filipinos to do them.

Have fun investing (while it’s a great time now)!

Simplify all the analysis - Easy Investing with Strategic Averaging Method (SAM)

How to invest in Philippine Stock Market with Strategic Averaging Method (SAM) of Bo Sanchez’ Truly Rich Club

There are basically two ways how to invest in the Philippine stock market.

You can either be an investor or a trader.

Some call it passive investing versus active trading.

In a nutshell, passive investing in stocks is a long-term approach ranging from few to several years timeframe whereas active stock trading is a short-term strategy with days or few weeks duration. Active trading means buying and selling every few days or sometimes even within a day. Passive investing just keeps on buying carefully chosen stocks and seldom sells.

We’ve already covered the four rules of making millions in the stock market by being an investor.

Rule #1: Invest Small Amounts Every Month for 20 Years or More

Rule #2: Invest Even When There’s a Crisis

Rule #3: Invest Only in Giants

Rule #4: Invest in Many Giants

Needless to say, these are relatively safe stocks investing strategy, but also a pretty boring one. HAHA

If you stick to this strategy, you definitely need three things: money, discipline and patience.

Good thing Bo Sanchez’ Truly Rich Club has its third alternative – and it’s called SAM, short for Strategic Averaging Method. This has some minor but profitable differences compared to the common Peso Cost Averaging method outlined above.

The whole story is contained in his book The Turtle Always Wins so you can grab your copy in bookstores to get the complete picture of it. But even before that, Truly Rich Club has already introduced SAM to all its members in its June 2011 stocks updates

Read below Truly Rich Club’s discussion of what SAM is all about and the why the club has shifted to this kind of strategy of investing in Philippine stocks market. I was about to simplify it but I think Bo has already nailed it, so let’s just ~~hear~~ read from him.

What’s the sure way to know if you’re addicted to the stock market?

Question: What’s the sure way to know if you’re addicted to the stock market?

Going into consolidation perhaps??

Answer: Quite simple, when you look at the beauty of mountains, you can’t help but figure out the immediate/major support and resistance, entry and exit points, and other technical indicators. HAHA

Have fun investing (in this mountain of wealth)!

How’s the Philippine Stock Market now? - 2012 COL Financial Mid-Year Market Briefing on July25

2012 COL Financial Mid-Year Market Briefing is set on July 25!

If ever, this will be my second time to attend COL market briefing. The first was last year which was held at the same stunning Meralco Theater. COL regularly holds sessions like this as part of their service to their clients. Last time, they gave attendees a wristband with the word Citiseconline engraved on it!

We’ll also have the same set of speakers including April Tan, Head of COL Research and Juanis Barredo, COL’s Chief Technical Analyst. In essence, they’ll cover Fundamental and Technical Analysis of the present situation of Philippine Stock Market. I have a feeling that COL Chair Edward Lee will also have a sharing time.

Click here to Register now.

Its caption says It's more fun investing in the Philippines as long-term prospects remain attractive.

I just can’t wait the ending of this long-term investing! HAHA

Have fun investing (indeed)!

PS: In case you can’t attend for any reason, you can surely download their presentation from their site few days after. But if you want to get to see other investors like you, and enlarge your views about your fellow investors, this is definitely a great opportunity.

Last year, I realized how diverse investors could be. There were obviously big guys who attended, wearing all those kinds of formal suit; but there were also ordinary people who even brought their children to the event. Hmm, market briefing turned into family bonding, why not? HAHA

How to open a stocks trading account and invest when outside the Philippines

Opening a stock trading account for your investment in the Philippine stock market can still be possible even if you’re outside the Philippines, as in the case of a working OFW or anyone has decided to stay for good in other country. We’ll show shortly below the step-by-step procedure you can follow if you’re part of those new heroes we have in our present time and want to start investing in the Philippine stock market.

Fortunately, with the advent of internet, you don’t need to be in the Philippines to invest in stocks of companies enlisted in the Philippine Stock Exchange.

Three steps on how to invest in the Philippine Stock market

The Four Rules of Making Millions in the Stock Market

How to invest in the Philippine Stock market doesn’t have to be difficult for every beginner investor.

While the subject of stocks investing is easy to appear as complicated, having the basic essential principles can save you a lot of headaches and eliminate the analysis-paralysis that many new investors tend to experience at the early stage of exploring investing in stocks . This in turn causes them not to act any further on their initial interest into Philippine stocks - a sad ending to a supposedly happy story to revamp and improve better their financial lives.

That’s the reason why I’m not really a fan of giving so much information in this blog - to avoid my readers of an information-overload. I’d rather give one practical investing point each week that you can apply right away than give you a buffet of information you’ll never be able to digest.

That also pushed me to write a stocks investing book for beginners, and labeled it as a “quick-start kit”. The point is to help you start quickly but not carelessly. (For beginners, you can get your copy here).

In Bo Sanchez’ first stocks investing book, Bo helped simplified investing by giving four simple basic essential rules you can easily follow as investors in the Philippine stock market.

How_to_invest_in_philippine_stock_market

Outperform 90 percent of all the traders trying to “time” the market

Fearless prediction: You will outperform 90 percent of all the traderstrying to “time” the market

Here’s the last month’s update of Bo Sanchez’ Truly Rich Club regarding how the members should invest in the Philippine Stock Market.

I’m deliberately sharing this to you to pass on the good opportunity we have now as investors.

If you’re quite updated with global financial news about the world economy, you might be familiar of the spreading news and experts opinions that Philippines is one of the countries best positioned for growth. You can search the internet now and see those many news articles highlighting the potential of the Philippines in the coming years.

Going back, as you probably know, the club gives regular stock update to its members to help them in taking charge of their investments in the Philippine Stock Market. This is in addition to the empowering Wealth Strategies, inspiring ebooks, live MP3’s and a whole lot more of materials that will keep pushing you to keep working towards achieving your financial goals!

More importantly, the regular stocks update will remind you to be faithful to your investments.

Sometimes, when nothing much is happening in the stock market, or when there’s so much happening as the stocks start going higher, the temptation to sell immaturely rises to a higher level too. You’re easily controlled by what you see and thus by your emotions.

While you can certainly have the profits from doing so, it will surely not work for you in the long term.

Remember one of our golden rules as investors in the stock market following the Strategic Averaging Method (SAM) strategy of Truly Rich Club - just keep on being fully invested and focus on your job and/or business.

In other words, focus on your cash machines and not on stocks.

Find ways on increasing your cash flow and add a part of them to your investments. Just buy the stocks recommended in the club and let it grow through time.

Selling time only comes when they reach their target prices (or near).

That’s why goals are important because it will remind you on what not to do during boring or challenging times. Our target prices are a reflection of those important goals as investors.

So keep those goals in your heart. And time will come when as predicted fearlessly below, you will outperform 90 percent of all the traders out there who are trying to “time” the market.

Sounds exciting, right? You bet!

How to invest in the Philippine Stock Market - Plant during planting time!

Here’s one important point to answer how to invest in the Philippine Stock Market.

For the past few months, our favorite stocks have been stagnant, seemingly like going nowhere. The market was clearly moving sideways. In those stages of the stock market, traders are waiting for some signal before putting their money into the stock market.

But investors are different.

Investors simply keep on buying their carefully selected stocks without minding the sideways movement of the Philippine stock market.

They know that how to invest demands only one answer – and that is to keep buying below their buy-below-price and then wait for their great stock to reach their greatest potential or their target prices.

The buy-below-price is the only figure they need to avoid chasing the stock all the way up grabbing good stocks at good prices.

Now the Philippine stock market is starting to rise up. For several days, the stock market is like a fresh grass in the morning – green.

Times like this clearly show the value of planting time. When stocks are moving sideways, investors are happy that they’re given more time to accumulate their great stocks at still lower prices.

Below is a good article of Bo Sanchez on this great habit for investors – an easy way on how to invest in the Philippine Stock Market.

How to make money in a sideways market

Your job and your ultimate treasure

One day I told my officemate, “Congratulate me!”

And she said “Why?”
I replied, “Because I’m leaving the office early!”

Yup, that time was only few minutes after 6pm. It was a deviation from my usually late night-time going back home, which is usually past 8 pm.

My office is located in McKinley area, Taguig so I had to take an FX first to get to the nearest MRT station, which is Magallanes… only to be surprised by the very mega long queues of people at the mercy of helpless MRT operators.

The line is so long that it has already reached the ground down from the second floor!
I didn’t care at first thinking that I would just need to go to the South-bound lane and take a round-trip going to North instead.

But nah, it’s the same picture of long-line of people stuck on their places, waiting for the signal of the operator to let the guard allow entry to the station. The line has also extended down to the ground floor!

Now imagine you’re in that situation, hurrying to go home to give yourself a good rest, only to find yourself extending your work hours in that crowded place.

I really honor all those people who could persevere such an indirect torture. You see, one of my weaknesses (or strength) is not having that ability to wait non-sensely. I value my time dearly.

Investment_in_the_philippine_stock_market_27

You know how impatient I get sometimes?

To the point that I would open a book to read while my laptop is starting up. HAHA

When I commute, I make sure I have a book to get myself rid of non-sense waiting while the train arrives and once I get inside. Sometimes, I treat myself with relaxing music instead when I don’t feel like reading. But in any case, I make sure I use my time wisely.

So going back to my story, after a series of going back and forth thinking which way to fall in line, I decided instead to go to the nearest fast food chain and make this blog while waiting for the crowd to fade out. After almost two hours, I went back to the station, and true enough, it was far more convenient than it was during the jam-packed rush hour.

My Maids Are Now Richer Than Many Managers (by Bo Sanchez)

My Maids Are Now Richer Than Many Managers

Three years ago, I taught my Maids how to invest in the Stock Market.

People laughed at me when I told them what I was doing.

“That’s too much for them,” one friend told me. “They can’t handle that. It’s better to teach them how to put their money in the bank.”

But who’s laughing now?

One of my maids has P308,388 in her Stock Market account.

My other maid has P176,465 in her account.

That may not be much to you, but to them, they feel very rich.

And here’s a fact: My Maids are now richer than many Managers.

I’m not kidding.

You see, I talk to a lot of Managers when I give corporate seminars.

Many of them have Zero savings and are buried in debt.

My maids? They’re confident that they’ll have P5 Million in 20 years.

Freedom day, One Minute Millionaire and VUL Investment

Happy Independence Day!

Holidays could be the sweetest words I could hear.
If you’re like me who always have something on the table, every holiday announcement by the government is a lovely music to my ears.
So I took advantage of this holiday and gave myself a good rest. Yeah, I was celebrating Independence Day of the Philippines on my bed, with lot of Z’s going out of my mouth. But before you accuse me of not being patriotic enough, I want to add that I also spent some time reflecting and cherishing the spirit of this celebration before I took that loooong siesta.
I think it’s even more meaningful for our fellow Filipinos who are out of the country.
I know they have been dreaming of a better Philippines, a country that is ready to meet the needs of each and every Filipino.

I’m one of those who regard our OFW as our new heroes in our time.
The pain of leaving your family behind just to give the needs of their family is real. In fact, they are part of the group to whom I dedicated my first financial book – Investing in the Philippine Stock Market for Beginners.
I myself couldn’t even imagine myself working in a province far from my family. How much more difficult it would be for me working in a foreign nation. Of course, I’m also aware that time will probably come when I have to just do it and I just hope that I would be ready by then. J

One Minute Millionaire

I’m currently reading the book One Minute Millionaire by Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen.
Yeah, another book to make things easier and clearer for me. Another investment in knowledge that will pay better returns. And I love the book so much!
I noticed that buying books has been one of my vices. The pattern has been to buy a new book even after I haven’t finished the last book I had bought. HAHA.
The book is basically helping people become an enlightened millionaire one minute at a time.
It’s thrilling to know that every 60 seconds, someone in some part of the world becomes a millionaire. My mind was opened up that indeed, there’s no easier time of getting your first million than now. With the advent of technology specifically of the internet, everyone now has equal reach of getting that millionaire dream real.
To give you some preview on it, its first few pages discuss the two ways of achieving a million dollar dream: the long route and the short route.
The difference between the two is on the method of how you attain that million dollar dream.
The long route is basically saving money each day and letting it accumulate and grow with time. As such, this is the safest and easiest way to your first million dollar. You can study the chart below:

How the Investment of only one dollar per day grows into $ 1,000,000.

% Interest	Number of years to grow into A Million Dollars
3	147 years
5	100 years
10	56 years
15	40 years
20	32 years

So to become a millionaire in your lifetime, you just need to (1) find an investment that yields at least 10% annually after taxes, and (2) have the discipline to save each day.
Translated to Philippine context, you can become multimillionaire just by saving at 50 pesos per day and having the two requirements above. Isn’t that good news?! J That’s just 1,500 per month!
But that’s the long route. Naturally we want things to be fast, including building your wealth.
So here are the four major ways of becoming a millionaire faster and thus gives you a shorter route.

1. Investments

2. Real Estate

3. Business

4. Internet

I’ll share with you great insights that I get from that book in related blogposts in the future. But for now, realize that it’s good if we use these four faster routes as a combo tool in our quest for financial freedom.

VUL Investment

Also last Monday, I have applied for a personal insurance plan. It’s a VUL offered by SunLife. VUL means Variable Universal Life. Simply put, VUL is a combination of insurance and investment.

As shared by my friend-agent, the first goal anyone should have is to be safe; then the goal of a comfortable life comes second.
In other words, before one strives to have a comfortable life, one needs to ensure to have a safety net in case something unfortunate happens in your life.
The first goal - to be safe – sounds very simple, yet very few are aware of its utmost significance.
The second – to be comfortable – is something that everyone looks forward to.
You see now what hooked me up with the VUL type of investment. VUL answers those two financial goals: the insurance for the safety net, and the investment for the wealth building part.
Because aside from its insurance protection part, it can also serve as an emergency fund and a retirement fund.
Emergency fund because you can actually get your money back anytime and use it for unforeseen life surprises; and retirement fund because once you’re done with your premiums, then you have the option to keep it there or get it. So it’s also like your giant piggy bank that will help answer your retirement needs.

Personally, I have chosen a 10-year plan with monthly premium of 1.5k.
In case you also want that type of investment, or if you have any other question about it, just leave a comment below and I’ll ask my kind friend to contact you directly. Note that there are several factors in determining the annual premium of a policy. They are, but not limited to, 1. Age 2. The amount of coverage and 3. Smoker or Non-Smoker. It’s important that you start as early as possible because every year you delay means an increase in your monthly premium.

That’s all for now!
As you continue to cherish the national freedom we have now, don’t forget to also work your way to your financial freedom day!
Hope you enjoyed your holiday!
Have fun and millions investing!
Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

PS4: What happens after achieving your second goal of a comfortable life? Here's the third more fulfilling challenge you can give to yourself - be rich and affluent. Why stop being comfortable? Why not help others and bless them with your wealth? Why stop the flow of abundance in your life? Why not help them attain the same thing through your service so that there'll be more blessors on this planet? It’s the ripple effect. That’s a perfect goal since having that money freedom removes all the pressures that can possibly hamper you in your ultimate mission. You are free to risk. You have all the means in expanding your sense of who you really are. When this happens, imagine the tremendous difference you can make. Imagine the better world the next generation would have because of you. Now that's the real wealth - it's yourself.

Gus Cosio Says So - What to do now as investor in the Philippine Stock Market

Gus Cosio Says So - What to do now as investor in the Philippine Stock Market

Hello investors in the Philippine Stock Market!

It’s been almost half a year this 2012! This is a perfect time in assessing our present performance in the Philippine Stock market.

How are you doing in your doing in your investments?

Did the Philippine stock market become friendly enough to you?

What are your investment lessons you had in this first half of the year?

And what are your plans in coming next half-year?

In case you’re finding yourself wandering now and not sure what to do in the current condition of the Philippine Stock Market, here’s some encouraging words from our kind friend Gus Cosio, one of the most respected fund manager in the Philippines:

It's amazing that so many people are interested in getting to understand financial markets. I gave a talk this evening to Metrobank/First Metro investors and clients about financial markets outlook. Generally, I imparted my view that this country is in a bull phase that will likely run for three more years. Inflation will be stable, GDP will see sustained growth, the PHP will tend to strengthen and the fiscal position of the government will be more manageable. Having said this, any weakness in stock prices should be temporary and a buying opportunity for most stocks.

That’s it!

Just making sure you’re still in your sense and ready in this exciting phase of the Philippine stock market!

Don’t be disappointed if ever you have not so good returns so far. For sure, your harvest time will come if you’ll just be faithful at this planting time!

Enjoy Monday! Enjoy the rest of the week!

Have fun investing (and reaping in the future)!

Hi (future) millionaire,
I just actually came from a very mini-concert to which I was invited with some chit-chats after with two college friends this very early morning; and thought of dropping you a brief note.
Yes, am writing this post with no sleep yet.
But before I go to my bed, just want to ask your help in spreading the value of financial literacy in our country.

In the aspect of investing in the Philippine stock market, I believe the book of our dear friend Bo Sanchez My Maid Invests in the Stock Market… and Why You Should, Too! Is the best way to introduce the world of stocks investing to them.

If you have the same eagerness to help others achieve their financial freedom through the Philippine stock market, then just share this blog with them.
Feel free to share also the book which can be found here.
In case they see the great potential of investing in the stock market, then also share this stocks investing book for beginners with them.

That’s it, just a sweet request! For your friends and loved ones!
Good night morning!

PS: Just a short segway, right now I’m still amazed on how vibrant our present youth and young professionals are in the mini-concert I attended. That was my first time to attend such an event and I saw many people in the room, some my age and older, who, I think, are really desperate in identifying themselves and looking for something they can associate themselves with.
Why did I say desperate? Because I witnessed personally their perseverance while waiting hours in that small confined room just to hear their favorite band in less than half an hour! Everyone’s sweat glands were tested as the whole crowd tried to fit itself in that tiny café-bar totally making the room like a sauna cubicle. I suppose they wouldn’t like that kind of set-up if not for their desire to see personally their favorite band. Talk about passion?!
