Peso Smart PH: Investing in the Philippines

If you're a #dividend investor (or planning to be one) then you should know about a company's dividend payout ratio. This is one of the factors that you consider before buying a stock of a particular company. Good thing is, almost all of the online stock brokers have this ratio readily available on their platforms; I can vouch for #BPI Trade ;) I hope you find this episode helpful! #dividendpayout...

If you're planning to invest in stocks and you can't pick a security that's for you out of the hundreds of companies listed in the PSE, then this episode might help you! If you've set aside ₱10,000, then you have the ability to purchase good stocks at a bargain price (given the pandemic and our economic state/situation).  The ₱10K budget is a good starting capital, in my opinion and basing on...

I've been throwing around the term capital gain(s) a lot from my previous videos and I never had the chance to share the definition with you guys. It's pretty straightforward and you'll probably use this term often as soon as you start investing. From stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, sports cards, shoes, you name it, capital gain will always be used. I also learned a thing or two as I did...

These are all my personal thoughts and experiences as I navigate my way through investing. I believe that if you try to avoid these things, it'll let you progress a bit faster and would save you time, effort and money. However, don't be discouraged to try things out yourself and experiment. First hand experience is the best teacher and you shouldn't be afraid to make mistakes and find your own way...

If you want a consistent and reliable income stream from the stock market, then preferred stock is for you! Although it doesn't present a big capital gain upside/potential, it can give you a respectable return on your money while beating inflation. This investment vehicle is way better than your money just sitting in your bank account.  Also, please be careful about scam emails being sent out...

It's not looking good for the market as the PSEi dropped almost 150 points yesterday. This is due to the announcement from the Malacañang that it's possible to tighten the quarantine measures again in Metro Manila. This is not good for businesses, especially the working class as most of them won't have pay without working. I hope that if ever another strict quarantine is applied, the government sh...

Opportunity cost is a concept that I always use every time I make decisions. I got it from my economics professor back in college and I believe it is a very useful tool. It makes your decision making much easier and it would allow you not to dwell or regret any actions you take in the past. Also, the market is booming but being cautious about your next move wouldn't really hurt. Yes, the economy i...

Overall, the Philippine Stock Market has been thriving this week. The PSEi has reached a new high again today closing at 6,517.49, up by 271.84 points or 4.35%. The total turnover came up to ₱10.83B, which is also a high for this week. I think this trend will continue since the investor sentiment is pretty good even though we still have to be on lookout for new coronavirus cases on a daily basis a...

Yesterday was a good day for the Philippine Stock Market as gainers (127) has overtaken the losers (63), while 37 stocks remained unchanged. A total value of ₱6.38B was traded and the PSEi closed at 5,930.17 which is up by 91.33 points or 1.56%. I'm pretty sure your stock watch list is also a bit greener yesterday. However, we should all still proceed and invest with caution as nobody can tell if...

So I got curious about the tender offer from PIP the last time I saw it so I researched and read about it and now I'm sharing it with you guys. It's quite common to happen especially when a new entity or group wants to take over a specific company. It's a very interesting topic and I hope this shines a light for y'all. "If you build a dream around something you love, you're more likely to work har...

I bought some EEI stocks back in March and April since I got attracted to their dividend payments. The company is also really profitable and is continuously growing as a whole. However, no company is an exemption to the negative effects of this pandemic. All we can do now is hope for the best and try to assess if a stock is worth buying at its current price point and see if they'll recover after t...

The market's a bit upbeat the past few days because of news from Moderna's vaccine development returning positive results. However, there are still a lot of skepticism about this and we should all be careful about the moves we'll be making in the next couple of weeks/months. "You are 100Fucking% in control of your life.

I thought SPC won't give out dividends this year due to the pandemic and I was surprised to see that they've already announced an ex-date on May 19 and payment on May 29. SPC is also my top performing stock, so far, with regards to price appreciation, at around 25% unrealized gain. If you want to receive dividend payments from this stock, make sure you already own it 1 trading day before the ex-da...

So the NTC ordered ABS-CBN to cease all operations 2 days ago. As expected, their main competitor, GMA7's stock gained around 24% in the Philippine Stock Market. I'm expecting the ABS-CBN stock prices to plummet as soon as it gets traded again. However, this should be mitigated if good news or progress will develop in the following days as we near the end of this week. Next week, I'll cover in one...

If you want to emulate the habits of wealthy people, then you're in for a treat on today's episode! I read a bunch of articles tackling this topic and I picked 5 habits that you can develop and act upon right away. "Everything’s scary, until it’s not." - Gary Vaynerchuk #pesosmartph #habits #rich

Let's have a quick discussion about Max's Group, Inc. I think this stock is still undervalued (as most of the stocks are) and should be on your radar.

We're still facing a lot of uncertainty in the stock market. The PSE, after doing well the past few weeks is now on a downward trend again. Since most of the stocks suffered a great loss in value last March, traders have been collecting profit this week, prompting the prices to drop. A lot of variables play a part on this, too, most especially the uncertainty of the coronavirus. I found a bunch of...

As Jim Rohn said, "Success is a few good habits repeated every day". You'll need to incorporate these few good habits to your daily routine. Also, you need to realize that there's no such thing as an "overnight success". You have to put in the work and be patient. If you really believe in what you do, you'll stick with it and eventually succeed.    "Happiness comes when you understand yo...

The Philippine Stock Market has been thriving for the past three days. This is because of the efforts of the Philippine government to stimulate the economy and the financial sector. We still can't say if this trend will continue but overall, it has been a good week at the market. Just be cautious with your purchases and make sure to practice due diligence whenever possible! There’s nothing worse t...

This episode was requested by Devinne Rey Pascua. Thanks, bro! So basically he asked my how I analyze a company before buying their stocks.

It's more of a due diligence check and I apply principles from Warren Bu...
