To Dr_P and the other Masters in this thread...

As a newbie investor, wat instruments do u recommend a novice investor go into, given current state of Pinas market.

From wat i understand, the stock market still has some momentum (some steam left). Can we expect it to be bullish for at elast the next 6 mos.? I also looked at most of the local equity mutual funds, and almost all are in the all time highs..

thanks in advance

Hi there.. newbie here.. if ur coming from coastal road, saan ang nearest na okay na motel sa cavite?

will this affect that fundamentals for SMPH?

How about URC?

is this still a strong BUY? i'd like to get some shares but i thinkits overbought na... any tips?

Nope, I prefer forex, for one thing I don't need any tips, rumors, gut feels, or hunches there.  I'll I need to see is the price and some simple indicators.

u trade forex? bow down kami sa iyo Q... that's pretty volalite and stressful stuff right?

what bank in Singapore fo you have in  mind? How much the minimum to open an account? you can actually invest here, we also have global funds offered by banks and investment companies..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

really? any local bank that offers clients access to: DBS, ABN AMRO, ABERDEEN, FIDELITY, SCROEDER funds?

i just opened an account at DBS... min initial amt to invest in most funds is SGD1,000 i think.

some brokers are recommending BUY for JFVC and URC due strong fundaments.

any comments? are these stocks expected to go up in the next weeks? or long term hold value?

IPOs are indeed a risky investment although there is potential for large gains...

for the advocates of Ben Graham or Warren Buffet.. medyo todo scrutinize before mag IPO..

try "The Intellegent Investor" .. its a good read.

having an account in a rep*table s'pore bank can be your gateway to the various global funds...

if you like mutual funds you should divide your money between a group of funds, use investment averaging, and not worry about what others think of your investments. There is no such thing as a mutual fund expert. Just a lot of people who are doing what you are.

 

I balance my money between six funds, I do not look at short term performance because mutual funds are medium to long term instruments.

you maintain six (phil) funds here?

dont they overlap already?

Who among the listed TELCOs are moving into VOIP?

Is anyone familiar with the PIATCO case?

- what are the loophole sof our BOT Law? (build operate transfer)

Many thanks...

I assume BDO Equity trust fund is invested mostly on Henry Sy companies like SM Investments, SM Prime Holdings, SM Development Corporation.. so mostly its real-estate related..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

check out the "prospectus" or its equivalent... all funds should have this.. its hsould include list of stocks it currnetly holds, list of directors of the fund. etc...

I got Philequity when it was doing only P2.0+

year on year.. equity funds are inflation defensive...

But you also have to have an over-all investment plan (asset allocation).

for off-shore funds checkout www.fundsupermart.com

its based s'pore (where they claim there's no capital gains tax!)

not sure if this OT.. but anyone here familiar with options, futures, or forex trading?

hi guys newbie lang ako sa thread na 'to and i want to take a risk on this trust funds that you guys are talking here...pero di ko alam kung pano mag invest...gusto ko sana yung sa Banco de Oro Unit Investment Trust Funds...hoe can i invest here?...will i just go to the bank and tell them i want to invest on thier trust funds?...any info will be greatly appriciated :cool:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

suggest you read their prospectus dude... trust funds with banks are usually ultra conservative...

equity funds are more aggressive... depends on your investment objectives...

the three elements remain - risk, return, time...

A lot have been said about the works of Brown, Clancy, Sheldon…
