What happens when they still keep on going down? ...

I was told the same, sir Walter.

Second quarter of 2020 daw. [emoji3525]

So I guess now would be a good time to reel back a bit? I have some funds that just need to be put somewhere safe but with a realistically good yield. My risk appetite is somewhat on the medium side right now.

7% P.A. is reasonable enough for me.

There's still money to be made even on a down cycle, yes?

Do you have any in Equities? Money markets?

Money market placements are just a hedge against inflation - a place to park funds until you see something with better returns. No real potential for growth here.

I have money in equities, mainly Index funds from BDO and BPI. I prefer to just get what the market is willing to give back.

Be greedy.

If your basic expenses are taken care of and your emergency fund is in place, you should keep on investing when the market is down.

It all boils down to your Need, Willingness, AND Ability to take risks.

Not everyone requires a full race setup.

Index funds are the daily drivers of the financial world - reliable, dependable, boring even.

TS is looking to diversify. Already into business and real estate. Probably not looking for a 4th job in trading.

Good insight, it's true I don't need another job right now. My plate is quite full already.

I just want a safe place to park some funds until the right investment comes along.

We might just buy a few more lots worth more over time, but I really prefer something that pays out regular dividends either quarterly or even monthly if possible.

Real estate kasi laging tulog ang pera unless you find a great location, even if you have no improvements, somebody is always looking to lease or rent for their business.
