Dr_PepPeR Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi Guys, was jsut wondering where do people place their savings if its already more than 500K or a million. PDIC only insures depositors of up to 250K only right? And given that the market is really unsure isn't having such amount of money a risk?One thing I can think of is to invest different banks para insured pa din right. Hindi po ako yung may pera ah nagtataka lang ako hehehe Some go to trust departments or investment houses to invest in GS or Commercial Paper. Some invest in Hongkong/Singapore/Malaysia.

I don't understand the question regarding telegraphic transfers either. TTs or in some banks called 'Taytays' (to avoid embarassment when shouting to your operations people "nasaan na ung TT ko?") is just one way of transferring funds from one bank to another. There are cheaper ways such as RTGF or checks or interbranch debit/credit. Quote Link to comment

mmp0gi Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 The two biggest motivators in trading stocks are FEAR & GREEDThat's how it works. People wonder why it goes up and down all the time. The stock market is simply is a palenque. Where you bargain to buy or sell shares of ownerships of a company. That's why it goes up and down.The stock market is the mirror of the economy. It simply mirrors the economy. If it's on a downtrend(bear market) the economy is bad. If it's an uptrend(bull market), the economy is good.There are hundreds of factors to it but those are the basic fundamentals.Remember FEAR & GREED! Well I woke up today embracing the horror. I rather go back and have nightmares than seeing reality unfolds. It was black friday. The dow plunged again! I'm just watching the S&P slowly disappearing each day. There will be more selling craze next week! Just an advice in trading stocks.Keep an inventory of fine liquors in your kitchen- yeah the ones that kicks in right away. Oo nga pala. If you're the safe type of investor, Invest on Non cyclical stocks in times like this. There's a global recession already happening.Non cyclical stocks are stocks that don't go along the economy. Like tabacco stocks, food stocks, liquor stocks, drug stocks. They're safe. Never fully trust a stock broker. They are money hungry salesmen. Unless you lived with him or you've known him for a decade.Case and point on what's happening in US stock market- The supposedly smart, educated, money managers are now panicking to sell every single penny out of the market. There are many drawbacks. Especially on your emotional health. I have yet met a quiet trader. If you know anybody please feel free to introduce me so I can tell the secret service to watch out for that person. There is an upside to it, you don't have to watch dramas, soap operas, horror flicks, suspense, action, anymore. Because it's simply in front of you.Actually any form of man made script or movie will bore you. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
mmp0gi Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 ako rin nagtataka taon taon billion billion piso ang na imprenta ng central bank pero kulang pa rin ang pera saan kaya napupunta ang mga ito? They lend it to banks and then banks lend it to other banks for a higher percent rate and then the other banks lend it to people for the highest percent rate and then the people purchase goods and services and gives it to businesses and then businesses pays taxes and gives it back to Government and the cycle repeats itself. Thus creates an economy. Quote Link to comment

Philippine banks are doing great compared to banks of other countries because of conservative banking practices. So what if they still use words considered archaic in the US. Quote Link to comment
gobster Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 To get back on the topic: to stock market analysts out there, is it ok to buy shares (trade in PSE)? Are the blue chips good to hold short term? Quote Link to comment
mmp0gi Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 To get back on the topic: to stock market analysts out there, is it ok to buy shares (trade in PSE)? Are the blue chips good to hold short term? short term no, Long term yes. With the ugly Global market, unless you're a psychic, you will make money in the short term. The stock and commodities market is in a delfationary evironment. So just a heads up. Oil and gold prices will go down more lower in the future. Demand for goods has been totally dissapating. Until the problem in US gets solve, everything will unfalter. Quote Link to comment

Condolence,I can only advice on your first question because there is no set time frame on when the stocks go up or down. Unless you follow the market consistently and educate yourself you will have a feel on when to sell or buy. Also, it depends on your priority on turning it into profit or wanting just to cash out. I advice you to get a lawyer that knows about these things. A really good one. A lawyer that works for your money, not just talk. Quote Link to comment
