Long Term Investment

[Maykeee]

Old school na long term investment... Lupa... Be it an agricultural land or for residential purposes... Wag lang Yung masyadong bahain...

I have 2 MP2 accounts. The first one matures next year. Planning to use half for Lasik, then re-invest the other half back.

Investments in stocks or equity markets should always be for the long term.

In general, just do your own due diligence of researching/studying the investment firm/asset/target field before putting your hard earned money. Attend seminars/talks if you need to.

After doing that, start small and see how the results progress. There is really no, one size fits all in this endeavor.

To stay on topic: in my POV below are the list of good long term investments.

- Real estate/Land ownership(complete papers with no issues). 

- Pag-ibig MP2. As they say, the government never fails to pay.

- Only invest in the markets (stock market/global market/forex or any risky assets), if you happen to study and have a knowledge to it. If your lazy, or somewhat too busy to learn from how it works. I would suggest to stay out of it.

Marami... pero it usually boils down to how risky you can be. For those who aren't into huge risks, try banks or Pag-ibig MP2. Sa banks, they usually offer huge interests to those who invest in big bucks (millions) but if you don't have that much money, try time deposits, Pag-Ibig MP2 is somewhat similar. They offer huge interest for your money, and they will hold onto it, and give it back in later dates, and the timeframe usually lasts by at least 6 months (TD) or years (Pag Ibig MP2 offer 5 yrs.) For old school, the investments they have are usually put into lands or jewelries. Both are good, considering that they don't depreciate, somewhat easy to liquidate, too (though it also depends on the location of the land; jewelries have no problem.)

Yes, better to develop your own system that works for you. But when it comes to making risky investments, I think it's always best to invest only as much as you're willing to lose, kaya masaya talaga ako sa cost averaging

Yup! As I previously mentioned there's no one size fits all. Few notes though, being happy on a method/strategy in the markets, doesn't always equates to making money (specially on risky assets like the markets). If it does, everyone should be making money.

Re: "it's always best to invest only as much as you're willing to lose" Yeah that can help. But there are just many issues that will arise overtime. If one doesn't have the right skills I mentioned above.
