Is it still good to buy stocks with a capital of P35,000-P50,000 only?

[scooby91]

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.

I agree. With forex, you can lose your entire investment in a single day. That's why forex trading sites have warnings to investors. At least with stocks, outside of a crash, you simply lose value.

>that's pretty volalite and stressful stuff right?

 

If you ask me, if your trading system is stressful then you will have a stressful time trading. Take daytrading for example, it's ironic that people who only trade part time prefer to use daytrading. Daytrading requires hell of a lot of commitment and discipline. Long term trading systems like trend following allows one to enter/exit positions just a couple of times a month or maybe even spend months without doing a single transaction (that's why I now have a lot of free time and am just posting here and there, after Bank of Japan announced plans tightening their policy the JPY rallied (that was monday), when that waned off I closed my postion and am just waiting for an entry).

 

From volatility comes profits, learn to love volatility.

 

 

 

>With forex, you can lose your entire investment in a single day.

 

One, that's why one needs to develop their trading system and define their entry/exit before doing the trade. As they say, "Plan the trade then trade the plan", and the general adage "Failing the plan is planning to fail".

 

Two, quite honestly if you're unsure of a trade its better to just pass it up, "Opportunities just come and go, they are never lost", or as Alexander Elder says "Entering a trade is like catching a train, you'll only put yourself in danger trying to catch a moving train, there's always a next train so why bother putting yourself in danger when there's always a next train".

 

Third, for leveraged trading its typical to place just 1% or less of equity in a trade, people who come from stock investing are used to allocating most of their money in trades at any time. They fail to realize that in markets like forex, by putting only 1% in a trade they can fail 100 times before blowing up. With proper stops even if you only profit once every ten trades, that's more than enough to make up for the previous nine losses. The people who blow up in one day are usually those who allocate a lot of equity in one or several trade/s, thinking only that if they're right they gain big, and forgetting that if they lose, they also lose big. One should remember that when they're just starting in trading forex (or other "very risky" markets) that their goal is to learn to trade and not to make money.

 

 

In business, in stocks, in forex, or in any other market; there is risk. The key is learning to truly accept that risk instead of fearing it (From Mark Douglas' "Trading in the zone").

just to give update, for this trend to keep running for those who buy ABS stock good news for them.

 

ABS stock rose up to 6% percent last Monday and today tuesday 4% for those who buy stock mid feb. like me 10.75 per stock this is our lucky day, today ABS stock close at P12.75.

 

This sudden change may be due to the news that Alejandro resign from his executive position last march 16 and been replace by Lopez himself.

[George Estregan Lives]

Wow! Balita ko another all time high ang merkado ngayon!

SMPH mahirap i predict coz it could go either way in the long term. pero mukhang pabor sa pataas. though you could make money here trading the ranges (buying low, selling high)

 

URC as of today will go up to 20... damn... nung 19 pa price nya nung bumili ako

Is it still good to buy stocks with a capital of P35,000-P50,000 only?

Pare, am no moneyman, pero ang suggestion ko, go into mutual funds instead. Para may konting sembalnce of diversification ang investment mo. Kung ang gut feel mo ay talagang maganda ang merkado this year, invest in Equities mutual funds, para mas malaki ang placement sa stock market. Medyo risky lang, pero mas maganda ang returns pag nakatsamba ka. Ang maganda pa dito, fund manager na mag-iisip kung saan magandang maglagay ng pera. Tax-free pa ang gains mo.

Anong tingin nyo sa EPCI? Ang tindi ng itinaas nito sa past weeks! Early this month nasa 64 pang sya, last friday umabot na sya sa 82. Medyo bumama lang ngayon at 79, pero ang feeling ko aabot to sa near 90 level pag nabili na ito ng "undisclosed buyer" ng GSIS sa April.

[magnus]

yes... you can start with as low as 5 - 10 K

 

of course generally maliit lang din ang tubo pero in terms of percentage... mas ok sya kesa savings or time deposit

mutual funds are good way to diversify... just remember most MF has holding periods of about two years (otherwise may charges) and minimum of 5K

 

the stock market is for the agressive investor. but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart. study stock trading before jumping in or you'll get burned.

wala parin definite na pattern ang epci. and masyado volatile. today for example bumaba ng 73 pero nag close ulit ng .78

 

last i heard winston garcia ordered to buy a large amount of stocks for GSIS. yun siguro reason for the sharp incline. that has got to do with the fact that banco de oro is trying to acquire epci. garcia even told banco de oro GSIS is willing to buy their share.

 

if you see a lot of fluctuations in the coming days...baka banco de oro yun selling their shares at a lower price to thwart the effort of GSIS hehehehe
