money Stock Market

[magnus]

i'm not really that sure if i get this right. i suck in remembering terms... but here goes....

 

market order ata is that kung ano ang price ng stock when the order was made yun ang babayaran mo. kung limit ikaw mag set ng price.

 

advantage ng market order is that your order will match. disadvantage is that the price might not be the one you want. use this if you really want to buy or sell the stock

 

advantage ng limit is that you will buy/sell the stock at the price you want. disadvantage is that it does not guarantee na magka match ang order mo.

 

Ano po ang difference ng Order type na MARKET sa LIMIT? Thanks po I just started to play the PSE game para I know something before investing on it with real money.

eeerrr why does the bear market offer a lot of opportunity? you talking about earning money or losing money?

 

and how does the stocks going down making the rich richer? unless they are shorting

Shorting can be profitable too if you know what you're doing.

 

But I guess what he meant was you buy when everybody else is selling ergo lower prices. But one has to be careful not to catch a falling knife so to speak. Wait until there's a credible correction before buying anything. The great thing when the market bottoms out is that it's easier to see your risk vis-a-vis you potential profits. Kita mo na ung worst case so pwede kang maging mas aggressive pag may correction (trend reversal, paakyat na ulit ang merkado, may be a short term or a long term correction).

 

Para mas malinaw, let's say stock A historically nag-trade ng lowest low of P1.00 and highest high of P8.00 dahil sa bear market bumagsak sya sa P1.25 ulit. Stock A remains to ba a good company and yung current low price nya is more of a reflection of the current bear market more than its actual fundamentals. In terms of risk/return, most likely na talo mo is P0.25 (P1.25-P1.00) compared to a potential upside of P6.75 (P8-P1.25) in this scenario you see why I say you can really be aggressive and confident in buying stock A. In short, you'd be more than willing to take a .25 hit if things go bad in return for a potential profit of up to 6.75 when things turn bullish. So ang diskarte is hintayin lang na mag-settle down ang market then look for those stocks na trading at a discount (mura), pili ka lang ng isa o dalawa depende sa budget mo.

 

The most difficult is timing your buy to when the market finally makes a correction. This takes a certain amount of skill and lots of luck. But if you're playing with disposable funds and pang-long term ang investment mo, basta bumaba to a certain level yung gusto mong stock na sa tingin mo mura na siya eh bilhin mo na at wag ka ng sumabay sa mga 'eksperto'. Pinaka-maganda pa eh wag mong ibuhos lahat ng pera mo sa isang bili. Most probably the stock will go down further when you finally decide to buy into it (it happens to everyone almost 100% of the time!) so mag-average down ka meaning, binibili mo yung stock pababa ng pababa ung price hanggang sa kung saan umabot yung budget mo. Then sitting pretty ka na lang and kalimutan mo na yung binili mo hanggang kelangan mo na ng pang-tuition o pambili ng bagong kotse

 

Happy New Year mga repapips!

I was doing some experiments the other day.

 

I bought PLDT when it was down to 2970 per unit....

 

 

sold it when it became 3200

 

 

 

 

Im such a dumb arse. The costs of selling and buying alone were barely covered.

 

 

 

 

I know this might be a dumb question but, When should you sell a stock?

set goals for yourself, you cannot be too greedy.

Kunwari, you bought at 2970, set mo sa sarili mo, "i will sell at 3200 para may profit and will sell pag bumaba sya ng 2965 para di gaano kalugi" parang ganun

 

Mas maganda din if you can look at the researches/advices ng broker mo, kung ilan yun risk ratio ng stock pick mo

you can sell at resistance levels (or support for cutting losses). or you can also sell at target prices. read a bit about technical analysis so you can learn how to determine these and other ways to help you when to judge your entry and exit points.

OMG the humanity!!! Ang daming mura!!!

looks like we hit short term support level today for Dow and PSE. Let's just hope the support holds tomorrow. OV and OPM look good short and medium term. US futures slightly up. Bets will adjust for 0.50% Fed rate cut most probably.
