ingat ingat lang sa pagbili, tuluy tuloy ang foreign selling. The market will not rise unless the poreyns say so :p

Can someone please educate me about stock market? Why stocks go up and down?
Hindi ko padin talaga maintindihan.

And also would it be ok to invest on stocks with a 25k budget? Sorry inosente pa. 21 yr. old fresh grad. wanted to know what investment should I start today. Feeling ko kasi kung aasa lang sa salary wala talaga eh.

1. Stocks go up and down because of the volatility of the market and of particular shares. If Jollibee (JFC) acquires Mang Inasal, investors will want to buy in, pushing prices higher. If Jollibee reports that they have a year-long shortage of Chickenjoy, investors will want to sell because of the expected lower profits, and thus push prices of the shares lower.

2. I was your age when I started with stocks. I just read about it online and watched YouTube videos. If you're signing up for a COL Financial account, you can also attend their classes. IIRC those are free.

3. Yes, starting with 25k is enough. The minimum is just 5k. More importantly, be sure to add money to your account monthly, so you can take advantage of cost-averaging.

4. The stock market won't make you rich. If your salary is low, then the money you can put in stocks is low. Your money in stocks will double in about 5-6 years. But if you only have 10k, then in 5 years you'll only have 20k. The key is to earn more, save more, and spend less.

Curious, who here invests in the PH stock market? I noticed that our stock threads aren't as active as stock threads in other car forums.

With the tumultuous economic conditions in Greece and the Shanghai stock crash, the coming months present a good opportunity to invest in the PH stock market as everyone's in a hurry to sell.

Given the current global economic situation, I'd recommend to hold your money first until stock prices hit rock bottom. PSEi is now at 7,300 but it could go lower as China and Greece continue to spiral downwards.

Think of it as a PSEi-wide season ender sale when that happens.

Copy that sir, kindly update the thread if you think na rock bottom na stock prices sa atin...[emoji106]🏼[emoji106]🏼 thanks

Tanong ko nadin dito mga sir, how to start buying stocks?
Ung process, san ba dapat pumunta, ano ung mga requirements? di ko pa kasi alam talaga. mahirap na.
Parang mas gusto ko munang maginvest kesa magipon para sa tsikot.
And any books, website, or short courses you can recommend para maaral ko ng mas maigi. Salamat.

COL Financial has the answers to all your questions. Go to their site to download the account opening forms. Fill it up, then submit to their office in PSE Bldg in Ortigas. Minimum amount to open an account is 5k, but I'd recommend starting with at least 25k so you can buy a variety of stocks already (PLDT stock price is 3k each and minimum is 5 stocks so that's 15k already for just one company).

They also offer free seminars for new stock investors. For starters, you can also read "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham. One of the most sensible investment books I've read.

Ako sir. Like to learn chart reading. I already know how to read financial statements. So charts can be a new skill.
