Mutual Funds

sorry for late reply, thanks for the details. So i choose this time to come here again, because after what happen last week, i think the stock market is heading south, and it would not go down alone, properties, other investment will follow, so conservative or aggressive trust funds, i think will go down together, the differences are which trust funds will go further south. Better keep cash on hand right now guys.

Keeping everything in cash will still be a losing proposition. If you are unsure of how the market will go, go short term from 15 to 30 days. Incidentally, the BSP will slash overnight rates again, the question is whether it will be 25 or 50 basis points.

no other way? only if u can sell the stocks first and buy back at a cheaper price, short selling.haha. only can do it in currencies.

o.t . ng konti pag stocks ay walang kwenta di ko na pinababayaan ko muna yan, gaya ngayon 2008 ang taas ng bilihin sa palenke kaya nasa public market ang capital ko hihihi its dirty but malaki ang kita kaya ok lang

Actually, I meant keep it in a fixed income placement if you want to wait out the stock market, sorry.

Guys if you would just know how ForEx trading is done and the potential income from it.

you will realize that it is much better than stock trading and buying mutual funds.

 

 

Although forex is the largest financial market in the world, it is relatively unfamiliar terrain to retail traders and investors.

Until the popularization of internet trading a few years ago, FX was primarily the domain of large financial institutions,

multinational corporations and secretive hedge funds. But times have changed, and individual investors are hungry for information on this fascinating market.

 

has anyone done this?

went to their site and as i understand it, 800k is the minimum investment

 

is this a viable investment vehicle?

[joss]

subukan mo kaya? Parang napaka expert nila sana nga tama ang adds nila na parang napaka dali magkapera sa forex . kasi ako kung gusto ko magkapera sa forex mag ofw na lang uli ako hihihi.(pag taas ng dollar, di pa ngayon)

your questions about mutual funds have been answered here. you just have to do some backreads.

on the timing, it would depend on you. what is your tolerance of risk? these funds now are a little bit volatile specially the equity funds which tend to gain some amount in a day, and fall back some amount the next day. but as investors will say, buy now when it is low and sell them when it is high. it can be a factor in getting MFs these days.

 

but if you would want to maintain your capital, put your money in government securities or money market funds. medyo mabagal lang ang appreciation (around .30 centavos/day) but appreciating sya. hindi sya bumababa.

I invested around 100K last November on a balanced fund. Medyo nagsisisi na ako ngayon since with the current NAVPS, I already lost 18K. Any suggestions on how I can recover that? Is it good to add investments now while it is low or is it going down further? When can we expect the stock market to rebound?

 

Hindi kasi ako masyadong updated about business news kaya na wrong timing ako nung November. Didn't know about the pending US economy downturn then.

 

Thanks in advance.

if we knew when the market will rebound, a lot of us will be millionaires at this rate. actually, it's not an actual loss on your part, just a "paper loss" since i presume you haven't redeemed from the fund yet. fund managers will tell you that you must have a long term outlook in this investment - considering you invested just last november, then forget about it and check it out when the prices start to go up.

 

as long as you invested in a company with a good track record, then you just have to wait for the market to rebound ( sooner or later, it will). as to when it will be, no one knows - it might be in a few months or in a year or two. or three. you just have to be patient.

 

is it good to add investments now? it depends. can you spare the cash and hold it for longer than 2-3 years? if you can, then why not , so you can "average" down your navps. but if it is money you can ill afford to lock up, then i suggest you find more liquid investments in the meantime.

sigh, bro, i do not want to scare u. u invested the mutual funds when the stocks market are at their top, right now major countries stock market has dropped more than 30% from the top, might consider as bearish market now. So i do not think that there will be better. Pls be prepared.

Thanks for the advise. No, I have not redeemed my investment yet. I will just ride this one out and hope the economy will recover soon. Anyway, I really considered it a gamble when I invested.
