hmm.. a few questions:

1) asa og kinsa ko mo approach kung gusto ko mag start og investment?
2) asa ko maka pangita og stocks (or shares) nga available para paliton?
3) naa ba mga stock market simulator apps nga ma download para maka try ko on my own to see how it really works?
4) mag huna2x pa ko unsa akong mga pangutana... though na intriga sad ko with day trading... pero unya nana. gusto usah ko maka hbalo sa basics


i apologize for the very noob questions though hehehe

I'll answer the first question.

There are several ways to learn about stock market.

1. Self study (e.g. read blogs, personal finance books, etc.)

Personal recommendations: Rich Dad, Poor Dad; My maids invests in the stock market, and why you should too. There's a lot of good reads out there.

2. Try asking questions through IMG members.

Sis, first, you should set goals and time horizon. Know your reasons/purpose in investing and how long would you want to invest. This will be your guide. Now, bullish jud ang market. Any blue chips you buy, musaka jud. But how about during bearish market? So, my advice is i unaha sa ang reasons.

I think na answer na sa ato fellow istoryans uban nimo questions. Regarding sa simulator apps, I'm not sure kung naa ha. But you can visit col's website kay naa man sila free 7 day trial.

Regarding sa stocks, mu agi jud ka ug broker. Ang most convenient is online stock broker like col, unitrade, etc. Or through sad mutual fund companies like philequity, fami, etc. Though dili directly, but medyo similarly pud.

There's a different thread about trading in the stock market so I think ok ra pud siguro nga maghimo ta ug thread about investing in the stock market. This thread is intended for those who are holding or those who are planning to invest in the stock market, long term hold ang tirada.

I just opened an account last December 20 on Citisec and until now, naghuwat pa ko nga maclear ang check. Well, anyway, while waiting, I'm keeping an eye on several companies. I had SMC and SM on my list and medyo nasayangan ko sa time nga hinuwat kay pwerte ang saka sa SMC ug SM. Hard lesson learned: I will go for bank to bank transfer or hand over cash directly to Citisec (kung makaadto sa Manila) rather than issuing a check. Time is money.

While waiting, nagduwa ko ug Virtual Tycoon and in a month of playing, nabalikan ko ug 15%. Playing the game made me understand how investing and trading is done and a little about understanding the market.

Well, anyway, for those who are new in the stock market and who are interested in venturing into the stock market, investing is another good option other than trading. Kung kinsa to ang mga naghold diha, tapok ta diri.

May we all have a very prosperous 2011 ahead!

Thanks for this thread. You're actually the first person that I know mga nakabalo nga lahi ang stock trading sa investing. Naay akong mga nakaistoya before, they kept on insisting nga pareho ra lagi na. But according to my stock market mentor, para sa mga experts sa stocks ra gyud ang trading. They should from time to time check the ups and downs sa charts aron sila ma-successful sa stock market. And it's very risky so I really am not into it.

im also planning to invest in stocks (long term) through citiseconline especially kadtong EIP nila kay affordable ra. nindot unta ug naa na silay office dri cebu para ari lang ko mag-open ug account.

Dali ra man mag open ug account sa COL Financial, Neo. Naka-start ko tong 2013 ra. Bag-o pa lang gyud. Kung nakabalo lang gyud ko ani daan before, I coud have invested earlier. Bisan pa tong ga-eskwela pa kog college.

Unsay hagtos, rhoden? Sorry di man gud ko kaayo maayo sa mga lalum nga bisaya/cebuano. Please enlighten me. Unsa man imong ginahimo sa stock? Do u trade or invest?

Hi, Allan. What did you do to this? Naa ba kay mentor sa pag invest sa stocks? Nakabalo unta ka kung unsay himuon sa mga cases like this sa stock investing. Kami man gud sa akong mga friends, wala namo gi sell among stocks sa mbt. pero there were two ways man gud what to do. pwedeng mag-sell ka sa part sa imong mbt stocks, pwede pud ug gihulat nimo ni nga letter from colfinancial ug imo na lang gyud gi-buy ang stock rights.
