u can buy min no of stock at it "lot size", which is show at the information page of each stock at pse web site. some time coz by any reason, u have some shares is less than a lot size, u still can trade it at odd lot board, which is usually abit lower than the market price.

 

preferred stock are more similar to bonds, u received the interest on a fix period of time. some time, teh preferred share can be converted to common stock, it depends on how it was issue.

 

when u buy a certain stock , only commission was "earn" by broker, all other charges goes to PSE or government.

 

u cam also log in to pse at

 

www.pse.com.ph

 

the www.pse.org.ph is the original/old site, but both link to same site

 

for me, both fundamental and technical analysis are for reference only, never, i repeat, never believing it 100%! maybe only 70%, especially u r a new into this.

For me stock investing is a long term investment. You will never know or predict the direction of the market. They say buy low and sell high. In my experience, I do not know how low is the price to sell high. It is my opinion that it is better to buy stocks when there is blood in the street. meaning when nobody wants to buy stocks. Prices will be very cheap!

One piece of advise, never never never go into something that you don't fully understand what you are going in to. Stock investing needs some time learning, so better start learning now if you want to invest in stocks.

 

One broker that offers online transactions is Citiseconline. I've attended one of their seminars. You'll need at least 25,000 to start.

 

Ang rule of thumb lang nung isang financial advisor - you invest in stock market with something you can live without. To make it short, you're ready to loose your investment at any time without you going berserk. :D

 

Why not go with Equity Fund via Mutual Funds? It's actually the same, diversified pa. Where can you start investing P5,000 where you can have a piece of PLDT, Ayala, BPI, SM etc. You can't do that in stocks but only in MF.

I have been offered to buy Ayala Preferred Shares by virtue of my Ayala Corp stockholdings. I am not sure of the advantages of preferred shares over owning common shares which I now have. Would you recommend I buy into this offer? Thanks in advance.

 

 

you should not sis. The only advantage of preferred shares is you are prioritized before the common stock stockholders in the event of liquidation. Nothing more nothing less.

 

Preferred shares are in concept the hybrid of bonds and common stock. Do you know that the corporations invented preferred shares in order to raise funds without the problem of obligatory periodic payments in case of bonds and without losing control/income sharing privileges in case for Common stocks. You see, in the seasons or earnings, common shareholders get most of the the benefits and in seasons of recession, bonds stand out. In either seasons, preferred shares are just in one corner waiting for the liquidation of the company. If you invest, you look forward to grow your investments not waiting for the moment your investments to be wiped out. So don't.

 

Hope i helped you.

Preferred Shares are also prioritized as to dividends, and in that sense behave just like fixed income instruments, and considering that is Ayala, you can expect regular dividend payments. If the purpose of acquiring preferred shares is to take advantage of the high interest rates, I don't see what the disadvantage is.

^^ yes it is fixed and they will not pay you more than what is stated.

 

In the glory days of the company, common stockholders get the lion's share of the earnings. While preferred will only have to contend with the rate.

 

There are various types of preferred shares, so better if check if it is participating or non-participating.

bad timing ka. you bought when stocks are on a year long downtrend. thats why until now di pa naka recover ang nabili mo. the perils of buying low, you don't know if the next few months the price will be lower.

same where everybody else buys through, a stock broker. most brokers are based in manila but there are banks which also offer brokerage services so i guess thats the more convinient choice for you since those banks have provincial branches.

 

Boss san ba makakabili ng stocks if sa bacolod ako? thanks//
