money Stock Market

Sirs, a question if I may and my apologies if this has been asked.....lets say that company x a listed company in the stock exchange was to declare a cash dividend. Usually and I think the norm is, its stock price will go down. My question is, when will its price go down and by how much? TIA kind sirs

[magnus]

depends when the holders of that stock decides to sell and how many of them really wants to let go of the stock very badly. its the law of supply and demand, more sellers than buyers drives the prices lower. the bigger the discrepancy the more prices go down faster

Usually what happens is that share price would normally go up prior to the announcement of dividends as people tend to speculate the dividend to be declared (either stock or cash). Subsequently, you're right in saying that share price tends to correct (go down) and this happens usually on the ex date. By how much, the norm is it should adjust to the dividend declared. However, there are times when after adjusting prices tends to move up or down within the same day after adjustment because of market forces (demand - supply).

For those interested in investing in th stock market, I would suggest that you attend the PSE seminars AND read books on it even before you start into it. Many new investors are enamoured by a bull market or a rising market as stories are told of "easy money". Then they find out they bought the wrong stock for the right reason, to make money.

I also suggest that you stay out of the basura stock for starters. Nothing wrong in staying with good issues that have upside potential and know why it has the upside potential. Follow some stocks closely, not more than 10 as a beginner and you will get the feel. Ask a friend why the market did what it did, learn from those that has been burned.

like most things, there is nothing as sure money, even bank deposits have risk of bank going belly up. So in the stock market, there is no sure return, the higher the potential return, the higher the risk ie possible loss.

 

As to investment adviser,that really is a too general description. For the stock market, while there are a few who write newsletter or "provide managed funds", these are only for those that really trust these guys. The safest way is through the bank managed funds or the Investment Fund like PhilEquity ( quite reputable, PD I dont have any dealings with them.)

 

In th stock market the most likely person you will encounter are 'salesmen'. But dont expect any full service and attention to you unless your account is in the tens of millions, specially in these times. That is why it is always best to learn how the market operates, how prices and what makes prices move and the economy in general, its trend and the industries, their trends.

 

 

Equity salesmen, who provide advise do so not for a fee for the commission that they earn in handling your account.

Investment advisers can be independents or financial institutions employees. They basically rely on their past experience and expertise, some painted too rosy. Why they give investment advisory if they can make tons of money for themselves? because they dont have all the money they want to invest. ie they leverage on client's money. I would seriously take an offer of a guaranteed return as they would like disappear in a bear market. Investment in the market what you can afford to lose. Chances are if you are in the good issues, you will not lose it all, maybe 20-30 pct max in a strong market correction.

 

This is a long topic which is why i do suggest seminars for newbies as a start. hope it helps

thanks for the info., i just wanted to mention this, regardless if its a blue chip or basura stocks the stock market is a crap shoot / gambling. in fact i bought basura stocks that made a lot of money for me in the past, case in point bw. i lost as well with blue chips ie ayala corp., metrobank to name a few..... he he he. anyway your right for starters/newbies they need to get up to speed prior to jumping in and spending their hard earned money. just my two cents worth

Call me a noob ..but I'm just starting trading in citiseconline ..

I'm just wondering whats the difference between the BID AND ASK button

bid is the buying price. this is the price buyers are willing to pay for a certain stock.

 

ask ( or offer) is the selling price. this is the price the sellers are willing to sell their stock for.

 

a done transaction is when the buyer and seller meets the agreed price. either the seller is willing to match the bid or the buyer is willing to match the offer. obviously, as a buyer, what is more advantageous to you is if the seller is willing to match your price which should be lower than his selling price.

 

hope that helps.

Thanks for your advice sir. Any books you may recommend? As regards the seminar, are you referring to PSE Certified Securities Specialist course?

any news on metrobank? the past two weeks the stock has been on a rollercoaster ride.

[cody3318]

does anybody have a list of the mining companies that dig for nickel? fyi, i just made a killing with metrobank, i don't know how long the wave/play will be. thanks

 

 

[gherome]

as my first year of trading concludes. my YTD net loss is at 3.6% (bull market and all, really found it hard to climb from 20% down mid-year. LOL!). hopefully I could build on the learnings from this year to be better at this craft in the succeeding years to come.

 

my current portfolio is dominated by DGTL (@22% of my portfolio), EDC @17%, ICT @ 15%, and AT @13%. I'm planning to add to my SMC position - when it retraces back a bit.

 

happy new year y'all! happy trading/investing

san miguel purefoods stock offering.. 1000/share .. 50 boardlot... GOOD OR BAD?

[Sl@MDuNk_Mitsui14]

I'm anticipating a bearish PSE this year, especially with PNoy at the helm.

 

So I'd advice my fellow investors to be more cautious in buying stocks..Personally I'd prefer Mining, Financials and Telecoms.

 

And be VERY CAUTIOUS investing in the Property sector.

I'd prefer UBP and RCB, for almost the same stock price.

[redsan]

mga bossing & experts, newbie here in this forum topic.. im planning to invest money and i regularly heard are the mutual funds and stock market.. how can i engage in this business? i have a friend dealing with stock market, bakas lang daw ako sa kanya ng 10k then siya (or sila na with their group) ang bahala mag-manage.. how true is that? what are the risks? ano ba mangyayari sa 10k ko after 1year? another is mutual funds.. how can i engage with that? san ba the best na funding company (un ba tawag dun, sori po).. what are the risks? how much is the profit after 1yr (rate of return)??

 

any ideas will be greatly appreciated guys.. TIA..

 

** ito kasi highly recommended ni mr. colayco for business ventures..

There are various types of Mutual Fund. Most common would be those invested in Fixed Income or in equities. The advantage here is that the Fund Manager does the day to day investing for you. Stock Market investing is essentially directlty investing in EQUTIES yourself.

 

When deciding to invest in equities, please note that this is a high risk investment and returns are non guaranteed. One can gain 50% but also lose the same in a year depending on the market condition.

 

If your investment amount is P10K I suggest you just invest in a mutual fund since investing P10K in stocks by yourself won't be cost efficient and also you most likely won't be able to spread out your risk through diversification. Stick to fixed income investments if you are the conservative type investor.

 

thanks rajon (rondo).. hehehe.. can you give me good-quality (highly recommended) or tested companies where i can invest 10k in the mutual funds?? how much will i earn after one year?? btw, the 10k amount to be invested in stock market is just a trial, and i will evaluate what would happen next.. my friend told me that i can put more amount whenever i wanted as long as the market is good.. thanks for further advise and explanations.. gud day..

I would generally advice caution for ALL stocks and sectors (not only property) since there is a real risk of losing money engaging in stocks anywhere. 

 

- Seems like we're not gonna follow the other countries in the region and keep our rates steady. Think BSP is leaning on getting more growth in vs. fighting inflation at this point. So while we cant expect rates to remain this low forever, we have room to move rates in 2011. I'm personally not too worried about the interest rate going too high this year (unless we get a dose of shocks to our imports).

 

- I'd be more selective about property stocks as some seem expensive now. Havent really gone through AGI as a company so I cant comment much but AGI's very active these days with all the moves and news their making. Do note though that AGI has a significant interest in property with more than 40% of their income (last I remember) coming from it and they continue to pour money into it, just like the Sy's, Ty's, Ayala's, etc.

i'm all for the drop in earnings lol - ill be there to pick up the pieces if it happens - earnings postpone just means earnings realized at a later date

 

 

 

 

Dont forget alcohol and fast food for AGI
