wizard23 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 now is a good time to buy while the market is still relatively down. this goes the same for mutual funds that are heavily invested in equities/stocks. Quote Link to comment

You better not be. Just be careful in investing stocks on a relatively low price because it will get lower and your stock will loose its value to penny stock or nil. Quote Link to comment

I totally agree. With the recent selloff of the blue chips, one can actually find pretty good bargains at current prices. Quote Link to comment

Guest River Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 market is quite difficult to interpret these past few weeks. trading is almost purely speculative. there are plenty of stocks with good fundamentals however they remained to be oversold. and i continue to see them in the red. i made a bet last week with bpc and mbt. where it will go...hehe...i have no freaking idea...hopefully up. well times like this i may just have to listen to the experts. calling tsupitero.

hapiguyMD Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 anybody care to comment on long term (10-15 year) potential of blue chip Philippine stocks? Do you guys think a value approach or buy and hold approach would be applicable for Philippine stocks? Quote Link to comment
Guest lustfortravel Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 anybody care to comment on long term (10-15 year) potential of blue chip Philippine stocks? Do you guys think a value approach or buy and hold approach would be applicable for Philippine stocks? if you stick with the blue chips that regularly pay dividends, yes. of course, you also need to factor in inflation rate and the time value of money. again, it will depend on your personal goals - are you willing to wait for 10-15 years for pay-offs rather than cash in on the fluctuations on the short term? will it be worth the wait? different strokes for different folks.

tombone Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 stock or Equity is always a investment for me , there is short and long term for me the long term will be the blue chip and short term is the speculative stock . is still better than saving it on a bank or time deposit but that is only for me. since there is time i loose money also on stock Quote Link to comment
