sir luckytruck, there are other investment vehicles, like mutual funds, bonds, UITFs...

or, you could look into ayala life's index fund. basically your money in invested in phisix listed stocks -- in theory, the fund should do as well as the local stock market(or a close approximation anyways)

maybe in a few months. i will set aside a certain amount, maybe $5000, for my experimental forray into higher return vehicles.

i was offered the PhilAm index type thing as well and it was 7% but it was in pesos, and i didn't want to worry about the devaluation. are there any dollar denominated vehicles there that I can get about 7 or more % on?

good plan. i was out of the market for 5 years during and right after business school (la pera eh) - 1999 - 2004. ang laking pera nawala sa akin because of that...all the tech, biotech and emerging markets gains na hindi ko inabot :waah:

at least bumawi ako sa real estate, hehe

regarding a Philam stock index, is that a peso denominated index fund for the philippine market? i would only invest if i got much higher than 7% p/a because of the higher market risk and inflation/devaluation concerns. kung 7% lang ang habol mo you can probably get the same with US small/mid cap indices. just my opinion.

jesus christ...some of you guys are projecting 30-60% returns for the forward 12 months?

san nyo pinagkukuha yung mga investments nyo? and why are mining stocks and precious metals good buys in the philippines? are people expecting runaway inflation or something?

gold is actually up globally as well...i am actually thinking of shorting it because i don't believe we're in an inflation crisis similar to the 80's and i think people are overreacting. any thoughts/disagreement?

hmm...i've always had the impression that oil and metals are going up because of big demand in china; once that demand starts to taper off, dun na siguro simula ang pagbaba -- which i don't see happening anytime soon. just my theory(magagalit mga technical analysts sa akin B)

i think you are right. it may not be the only reason, but i'm sure it's a big factor, especially for oil and steel.

as far as gold, people use it as a hedge against inflation. if they think prices will go up, or their currency will devalue, they'll take their money out of cash and put it into gold/silver para hindi kainin ng inflation/devaluation yung portfolio nila. when gold goes up, imo that tells me that people are predicting high inflation and buying precious metals.
