Invest in Stock Market

What are stocks?

Stocks are shares of ownership in a corporation. The stock market is a place where stocks are bought and sold. The Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is the corporation that governs our local stock market. People buy or invest in stocks to benefit from a company's tremendous value potential over time.
Once you buy or invest into a stock you now become part owner or a shareholder of that particular corporation.

How to make money in stocks?

As a Shareholder, you can now participate in the company's growth and success through stock Price Appreciation and by earnings Dividends.
Capital or price appreciation is an increase in the market price of your stock over time brought about by an increase in its potential value and the demand to buy its shares. The faster a company can grow, the faster its price can appreciate.
Profitable corporations can also issue dividends, whether in cash or in additional shares of stock as a means for shareholders to share in their distributed profits.

Why Invest in the Stock Market?

History has proven that investing in quality stocks can provide greater returns than most investment instruments. This offers you the best chance in achieving your financial goals and gives you the ability to later enjoy the benefits of your money working for you.
The track record of the stock market also shows that a good basket of stocks climb more often than decline - reducing risk over the long-term.

The 4 Golden Rules

Discipline and the right methodology is the key to a successful stock investment program. Understand and adopt these four essential rules of thumb to keep you on track.
  1. Invest EARLY
  2. Invest REGULARLY
  3. Invest LONG TERM
  4. Invest using DIVERSIFICATION

Invest EARLY

Invest early to take advantage of compounding over a greater period of time.
If I invest Php 25,000 at the age of 25 and I manage to have my investment grow by 8% a year, 40 years later my investment will be worth Php 543,000.

Kurot Principle . Ano ‘yung Kurot Principle? Ay, ang ganda nitong Kurot Principle na ito. To better understand this, I will tell you a story of a person na balak bumili ng cellphone worth P1,000. Nagkataong mayroon siyang P100,000 na savings. Puwede ba siyang bumili ng cellphone? Puwede, kasi yung P1,000, kurot lang ‘yon sa kanyang savings. May pangalawang taong balak bumili ng cellphone. Ang bibilhin niya ay worth P1,000 din. Mayroon siyang savings sa bangko na P1,000. Bumili siya ng cellphone. Anong tawag dun? Dakot na ‘yun! Dinakot lahat ang pera niya! May pangatlong tao, balak bumili ng cellphone, pero walang savings.  P1,000 lang naman ‘yung bibilhin niya. Bumili siya. Anong tawag ‘dun?  Utang na ‘yun! Ang tanong: ano’ng prinsipyo ang ginagamit mo sa buhay mo? Kurot, dakot, o utang? Magtataka pa ba tayo kung bakit tayo naghihirap o baon sa utang? Ang gagaling nating dumakot! Ang gagaling nating umutang! Gusto mong yumaman? Starting today, matutong kumurot. Kapa...

70-20-10 Principle

70-20-10 Principle We have already discussed two budgeting principles in the previous articles. Below we proceed to the third, let’s have a review: The first principle in budgeting is  Piso ‘Yan  and the second is  Kurot   principle. Now, let’s go the third: the  70-20-10 Principle . Ito ang pangatlong prinsipyo. Apply the 70-20-10 Principle. If you want to be an Unleasher, starting today, live within 70% of your income. If you are earning P20,000, magkano ang 70% ng P20,000? Kapag hindi mo alam ang sagot, hindi ka talaga yayaman. Kailangan marunong kang mag-addition, subtraction, multiplication, at division ha. Napansin mo ba ang mga Chinese? Ang gagaling nila sa Math! So starting today, mag-praktis ng Math! Ang 70% ng P20,000 ay P14,000. So starting today, live within P14,000. Sabi ng isang participant namin, “Sir, malabo ‘yan. May malaking problema, Sir! Nang mag-compute ako, 100% ng income ko ay ginamit ko at kulang pa! Eh, paano ako mabubuh...

Piso 'Yan Principle

Piso ‘Yan Principle Nakakita ka na ba ng taong nag-planong sirain ang buhay niya? Malamang, hindi pa. Pero bakit maraming taong sira ang buhay? Kasi, hindi sila nag-plano ng kanilang buhay.  Ang sabi nga nila,  “People don’t plan to fail, they just failed to plan.”    Ito ang isa sa pinakamalaking problema ng mga Pilipino. Hindi tayo marunong mag-plano. Asar na asar tayo sa pagpa-plano. Kaya hindi tayo yumayaman. Eh tayo, ano ang ginagawa natin? Bara-bara ‘bay, o kaya, “ Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be!  The future’s not ours to see!  Que sera, sera!”  Ganyan tayo! Ang pagyaman ay hindi tsambahan. Itanong mo kay Tony Tan Caktiong, Henry Sy, o kaya kay Lucio Tan o kay John Gokongwei. Hindi sila tsumamba sa pagyaman. Nasa plano nila iyon. So ang buhay, pina-plano! Kaya napaka-importante ng pagpa-plano. Ito ang Step No. 5 on how to unleash the highest potential of your money:  You must plan to achieve your goals by having...
