what do you mean by... "prices are so unstable here that if we buy cheap steel products in china now, we'll just end up with high priced steel tomorrow"?

 

 

actually, i've been to china for such an endevour and to tell the truth, we're better off if we just sell the local stuff.  prices are so unstable here that if we buy cheap steel products in china now, we'll just end up with high priced steel tomorrow. i've been doing pleanty of research on this.. trust me, I know what I'm talking about.  Philippine prices are like the beating of the heart, and if not careful will cause heart attack!!!

 

what specifically are you planning on??

hi,

 

at first you were talking about being better off selling local stuff. but when you concluded your message you said, if not careful, Philippine prices will cause heart attack? so which is which? - do you advocate "buy philippines" or not?

pare, i'm not a pro philippines advocate.. it's just that it's much safer to buy steel here than abroad because prices are so competitive and there are companies that make them here locally. they won't just let u ruin prices and not compete now would they?? i'm just saying that if we import, we better make sure that no one is making them locally or else they'll dive their prices and our products will never take off the ground. just think, if steel was really cheap abroad, why won't small, medium and large companies buy abroad?? because they have to pay taxes and the local companies already have made damn sure that those taxes keep prices of such commodities up!!

ei pre,

 

thanks for sharing this information. but on the contrary, all suppliers both current and past of this company I've worked with before get their steel from China,Taiwan, Korea and Japan. local suppliers tried to get some business with my ex-employer but to no avail. so i'm not sure where you get your data, but definitely, this is not the scenario i experienced at least for the time i was with my ex-employer.

pare,

i've been selling steel since i was in college and trust me, prices go up today, tomorrow it's down. if you got the high priced steel, and no way of disposing them then u risk closing your business. many a friend have i seen get heart sickness because of this business.

so namumuhunan ka pala? i was actually able to tie up with this steel supplier in Singapore and I would act as a mediator cum marketing arm here in the philippines. however, the steel that we have now is not competitive. this multinational customer we have is asking for a 30-day term. pero the volume only for this year is about 40M. nect year it will triple kaya nga i'm really into sourcing out other potential suppliers. my ym id is skipper6983. we can chat if you want. im online right now but not for long. whtas yours?

guys,

  meron pa ba nagtuturo ng basics of stockmarket investing? meron dati sa ortigas kaso nawala na yta.. hope somebody cud help me..

 

 

Before you engage in any stock blah blah stuff, be sure to read the book of robert kiyosaki, cashflow quadrant. Im wondering why people here are talking about stocks and they dont even have passive income. To become a legitimate investor, you need at least 100M. Matalo ka or manalo, you will not loose your shirt. If what you are talking about is just thousands of pesos. Thats not about stocks or investment.

Hi There !!

 

I am new in this thread but have done a lot of backread.  I am looking for a supplier of BOTTLES (8 oz, 12, 24 oz) for my deli-food brand that i do only during the Xmas season.  Please PM me with details and quotes.  I also give generous commissions to those who sell my products for Persoanl consumption and corporate gifts.

 

I am also open to business ideas / investments as venture capitalist (max is 100K) were returns are higher than bank rates (TD's).  I don't have time to be hand-son as being wife and Mom is a priority so JV's and partnerships are not ideal for me.  I have solid marketing background so I look for ventures that have sound fundamentals but i also go for new and untested ideas that have potential to grow.

 

Thanks.

 

 

Hello, i read your postings. Im also new here. I am Richard and im a business consultant. Maybe i can share some infos about what is the best business to go in. You can email me questions at rnavarez@netscape.net. God Bless!!!

Are you looking for plastic bottles or glass? Do you have any shape in mind?

Yeah Robert Kiyosaki's books are a good read for starting entrepreneurs. Bago kayo mag laro sa stock market, there are alternative investments or business out there which long term would give you more return for your investment. Yun nga lang you have to be more patient.

ala_ey,

 

Plastic or glass will do.

I am looking at cost versus presentability.

Product is not sensitive to bottle material.

I am also open with regards to bottle designs (wag lang ka-shape ng vibrator!)

 

It could help if you could state or pm me the product as I could advise what type you should use for your product as the content can react either positively or negatively to the container, bottles can also extend shelf life/protect your product hence reduce your returns/bad orders on top of being used as a container.

Best Regards
