STOCK MARKET: Stocks Seen to Test 7,000 Level

I was reading a newspaper in a coffee shop and this article in Philippine Daily Inquirer caught my attention. This is an exciting news especially for investors like me. Check it out.

Local stocks are expected to scale new heights this week as investors weigh in thei mpact of the investment grade rating issued by Fitch shortly before the long Lenten break.

Last week, the main-share Philippine Stock Exchange Commission gained 328.76 point, or 5%, to close at 6,847.47 on Wednesday. The market was closed on Thursday and Friday in observance of the Holy Week.

Jose Vistan of AB Capital Securities, said the main index would attempt to breach 7,000 this week.

"Trading will be upbeat as the Fitch upgrade was announced before the long holiday break," Vistan said.

On Wednesday  Fitch announced the upgrade of the Philippines'  Long-Term (IDR) to "BBB-" from "BB+" with a stable outlook, lifting the Philippine debt grade out of "junk" status for the 1st time in history.

This immediately triggered a new wave of buying at the stock market during the last hour of trade.

"Chartwise the week's close at 6,847.47 implies further tests toward the 6,900-7,000 levels," Jonathan Ravelas of Banco de Oro Unibank. But failure to test those levels could prompt some profit-taking toward the 6,575 to 6,600 levels, he added.

Year-to-date, the PSEi has rallied by 17.8% or 1,034.74 points. The main index has also logged a total of 24 record closing highs since the start of the year.

"We are now officially an investment grade country.... and this is an achievement that we all should be proud of," PSE president Hans Sicat said. "Hopefully, the othe rating agencies will follow suit so we can start seeing more investors participate in the growth of the listed companies and the economy."

Our dream is for the Stock Market to be at 10,000 level and with the thing that is happening this is close to reality. May all of us be part of this history.

Learn more on how can each one of us take advantage of this opportunity. Be an educated stock market investor. Be a TrulyRichClub member.

STOCK MARKET: Saved by the Stock Alert

We are a religious follower of the STOCK ALERTs* that Bro. Bo is sending to all the TrulyRichClub Members. But when I read one research done by COL's Analyst on BDO, I got interested and added it in our portfolio. We've been buying BDO since last year but I stopped for some time. This is after I had a little discussion with Mr. Edward Lee of COL Financial last October during the TrulyRichClub Superconference. I stopped buying BDO stock but I didn't sell.

For the past few months, the stock market is going up. It had hit ALL-TIME Record Highs. Last month Bro. Bo sent an Stock Alert on adding DNL in our portfolio. The expected gain is quite high and I was thinking of selling our BDO shares to take advantage of this gain. Besides, BDO is not part of our SAM list.

However, there was a slight correction last week in the stock market and I forgot about selling. Then this morning, we received an Stock Alert from Bro. Bo. We are now adding BDO in our SAM list. Whooo. Saved by the Stock Alert! There is still a lot of room to grow on this stock. Nothing just happen. :)

By the way, the StockAlert is one of the Perks that a person gets in being a member of the TrulyRichClub. The StockUpdates are emailed twice a month while StockAlerts are emailed depending on the need. This serves as a guide for TrulyRichClub members who are invested in the Stock Market using the SAM strategy. To know more of the SAM strategy, you can read the Book of Bro. Bo entitled "The Turtle Always Win". A review of this book can also be found on this link.

* Stock Alert - An email sent to TrulyRichClub Members alerting them for a BUY, SELL and HOLD advise.

STOCK MARKET: Don't Interrupt the Compounding

One of the benefits of being a TrulyRichClub Member is we got to receive a Bi-monthly Stock Update from Bro. Bo Sanchez and Mike Viñas.

I would just like to share some parts of the Stock Update with you.

DON'T INTERRUPT THE COMPOUNDING
If You Withdraw P50,000 Today, You’re Withdrawing P1 Million Tomorrow.

Oh, I know it’s tempting.

When the stock market is growing sweetly (like now), it’s sooooo tempting to withdraw “just a little bit” for 

that new ladies’ watch. Or a Hong Kong vacation. Or a birthday party in Boracay.

As much as possible, DON’T.

If you withdraw, you’re interrupting your compounding—the greatest mathematical force in the universe.

Let me give you an example…

Johnny saw that in a span of 18 months, his stock market fund has already grown from P100,000 to P150,000. 

He’s ecstatic. He’s thanking God. He’s inviting friends to join him at the TrulyRich Club. (Very good!) He’s 

dancing the gangnam dance.

But then one day, while walking in a mall, Johnny sees this really nice “spaceship-looking” gizmo that 

functions as a cellphone/coffeemaker/vacuum cleaner all rolled into one. It can make phone calls. It can make 

coffee. It can clean your house. It’s astounding. (Okay, I’m exaggerating. But I’m simply saying that there’ll be 

temptations out there that are very real.)

The price? P50,000.

Definitely not in Johnny’s budget. Unless…

He thinks of his stock market investments.

He’s got the money.

He decides to go for it!

He withdraws P50,000 from his stocks and buys the gizmo. He can now talk to his girlfriend and make 

coffee and suck dust from the living room’s carpet.

Question: Did he really withdraw P50,000 only?

Nope.

In 20 years, if his stock market investments grew by 16 percent a year, his total money would be LESSER 

by P1 Million.

Why? Because he interrupted the compounding.

I’m not kidding. Compute it yourself.

I urge you: Avoid withdrawing from your stock market investments.

If you feel tempted, just remind yourself: “When I withdraw P50,000 today, I’m actually withdrawing P1 

Million tomorrow.”

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

This is just the 1st part of the stock update. The second part is an update from Mike. The title of his article is "Stock Market Success Does Not Require Market Timing". He said that it is possible to make good money in the market without having to consider timing by following the Four (4) Strategies below:

1. Use Long Term Money - Invest only the money that you will not need in the near future.
2. Buy Regularly at Buy Below Price - Buy every month or every quarter but ensure that it is at our Buy Below Price.
3. Use Peso Cost Averaging - buying shares with a fixed amount of money on a regular basis (as mentioned in # 2). The advantage to this strategy is that it makes investing more affordable and it takes emotions out of investing.
4. Add Some Stocks with High Dividend Yield - Choose stocks whose earnings are not expected to drop and have capital appreciation potential. In our case it is MER. It's dividend yield of 3%.

Mike also discussed more news and details on MER and DNL to explain why these stocks were chosen to be in our SAM list.

Aside from the 2 articles of Bro. Bo and Mike, they are also sending an updated list of our SAM table for the BUY Below Price, TARGET Price and Action to TAKE in case there are changes.


By the way, the STOCK Market today is so exciting. It is having a slight correction. As investors, we like it when stocks go down so that we can all buy at cheaper price. But no one knows the market and to be safe, better to START NOW and follow the 4 strategies given by Mike or better yet be more educated and get REAL-TIME Stock Alerts from Bro. Bo by joining the TrulyRichClub.

Cheers to PSEi being at 10,000 soon! :)

STOCK MARKET : You Think The Stock Market Has Gone Up A Lot?

This is an excerpt from the Soulfood Newsletter I received last week. This is an invitation from Bro. Bo Sanchez.

You Think The Stock Market Has Gone Up A Lot?


So many people are talking about the Stock Market today!

Because it has gone up like crazy.

And my TrulyRichClub members are dancing the boogie, singing hallelujah, and hugging everyone they meet on the street.  They’re so happy.  They’re thanking God for the day they joined the TrulyRichClub last year, or two years ago, or three years ago…  Because they learned how to invest in the Stock Market, and their money has been multiplying like crazy too.
Sadly, I’ve talked to HUNDREDS of people who told me, “Bo, I wish I joined you last year and learned how to invest in Stocks.  But I became busy.  Shucks, did I miss the boat already?”
Hey, It’s NOT too late.
But STOP DELAYING.

What happens if you join TrulyRichClub? 
Aside from getting a truckload of the best material from me on how you can gain an abundance spirituality and financial mindset, you also get my personal GUIDANCE on how to create your millions by investing in the Stock Market.

Do you think the Stock Market went too high already? 

Our prediction: This rocket ship will still fly higher because there’s still a lot of rocket fuel to burn.  And even if it rests a bit and takes a pit stop in some refueling station in space (and I really want it to rest so I can invest more at cheaper prices), in the long term, nothing beats the Stock Market in giving you the best returns.
If you’re not yet investing in the Stock Market, you’re missing out on the great bull market of the Philippines.  Amazingly, the Philippine Stock Market has been the best performing Stock Market in the world.

Come ride this rocketship.  It will continue to ride to the sky. 
With or with you.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

We've been a member of the TrulyRichClub since February of 2010 and all I can say is that everything was all worth it. It is true that how we wished that we had started earlier but it was never too late because the best time to start is always "NOW". We still have a long way to go. Only less than 1%  of our population is invested in the Stock Market. And everyone seems to recognize the opportunity. Come. Ride with us now. Don't just be an Audience. Be a Passenger or rather be the Driver of your Great Future. :)

STOCK MARKET: Bull Market vs. Bull Run

I read an interesting article  in the Business Section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer Newspaper today written by Den Somara under his Column Market Run which is entitled "The Bull Market and the Bull Run". He is a Licensed Stock Broker of Eagle Equities Inc.

According to the article, many are confused on what is happening in the stock market. Many were expecting a correction but it never got sustained. Prices will be low in a few days but it will rise again and outperformed the previous weeks. Whether the prices will go down soon will only depend on the kind of buyers. It will not go down if they are taken by the "long-term buyers". However, prices will go down if they are taken by the "short term buyers" or speculators.

Below is what I have noted from his article:

BULL RUN
 > Series of price movements.
 > It is prolonged and characterized by daily gains.

 > It is the period where there is a run of stock prices.

BULL MARKET
 > It is characterized by a sustained rise of share prices.
 > It happens when the the economy is strong, people have money and are willing to spend it. Demand becomes stronger. Market prices go up.

> It is the time frame at which such price run happens.

Another information I have noted is "If the daily price increases are sustained for at least 5 trading days, the stock,sector or index could be in a run." If the run is the result of rising prices, it is called a rally, a BULL RALLY.


It was such a great and informative article. Hope you get something from what I've shared.

Think Rich Pinoy Wealth Seminar Last February 9, 2013

The last Think Rich Pinoy Wealth Seminar was held last Saturday February 9, 2013 at Enderun Colleges in BGC Taguig City. Yours truly was again given an opportunity to serve in the TRP Wealth Seminar last Saturday. My husband was in the technical while I was the timekeeper. We also facilitated during the Cash Flow 101 Board Game.

There were two new speakers namely Leila Hernandez, Author of the 9 to 5 Millionaire Book and Edmund Lee, Research Analyst of COL Financials.

Below are the lessons I have learned and Noted from the speakers:

1. Bro. Bo Sanchez ( The Theology of Money)
       • Our Financial Life can be divided into 3 phases:
             o Phase 1: Desert Experience (Not Enough)
             o Phase 2: Desert with Manna Experience (Just Enough)
                 This is addicting but never gets addicted to it. We need to learn how to move to the next phase.
             o Phase 3: Promised Land Experience (More than Enough)
      •  Money is everywhere. The Purpose of Wealth is to help others.
      • Value your Financial Education. Free is not good. “Kailangan may taya”.

2. Sir Larry Gamboa ( Scaling up your Real Estate Start Up)
      • Action brings clarity.
      • Make your 1st step.

3. Eden Dayrit Alemania (4Fs – FIND it, Fund it, Fix it, Flip it)
      • Accumulate More properties for passive income
      • If you are jobless, you need a co-borrower for a bank loan.

4. Ronald Cagape (Numbers in Real Estate)
      • When still starting and still building capital, do buy and sell.
      • If with available capital, buy an income generating property.
      • Remember that you make a profit when you buy.

5. Edmund Lee (Investing in Real Estate through the Stock Market)
      • Investing is a need – For Retirement and to beat Inflation
      • The key in choosing a stock is Management (CEO).
      • Currently, stocks of Real Estate Companies are not yet bullish.
      • Tip: The Next Walmart  - Puregold ;)

6. Leila Hernandez (9 to 5 Millionaire – A Real Estate Start up)
      • If you invest in paper assets, you are like a Virtual Business Owner
      • Loan Refinancing have an added cost but can be waived depending on our relationship with our banks.
      • It is not advisable to invest in a lot that you will use for your dream house in the future. Better to invest the money in an instrument that can give you a high gain then buy your dream house in the future in CASH,
      • Her advise:
            o Hold on to your current job and do your best
            o Do your investing after work (weekends).
      • The key is Discipline and Integrity.


Being a servant in the TRP seminar for almost 2 years really  changed my life. Every now and then, there are new things to be learned. I learned  by serving. Indeed, every seminar is different not only because of the topics discussed and new speakers but also because of the people I meet. It also gave me a feeling of fulfillment knowing that I was able to be part of the TRP vision of creating millions of Filipinos by 2020.

 I also want to quote Sir Larry on One of the Secrets of the Winners is their Commitment to Mastery. Keep on learning. Invest in your financial education. If you think Financial Education is Expensive, Try Ignorance. ;)

I hope to see you in the Next TRP seminar on April 06,2013. I am not sure if I can still serve that time because it will be just few days before I give birth to our latest blessing.

May our Dreams Come True!

This is according to the special report published by Wealth Daily. They said that the Philippines booming economy has greater investment potential than China 10 years ago and it is currently on the Sweet Spot, take off stage or the critical point where fortunes can and will be made.

Also, according to them, the Philippines got what it need for this boom to really escalate: natural resources and solid relationship with foreign companies wanting to mine.

This is good news for all of us Filipinos. This means that there's still hope for the Philippines. It may not take some time but we are going there. We just need to be patient and do our best to be part of this development. We can contribute in our own little way. We can start by these "12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country by Alex "Pinoy" Lacson".

1. Follow traffic rules. Follow the law.

2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.

3. Don’t buy smuggled goods. Buy local. Buy Filipino.

4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners, speak positively about us and our country.

5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman and soldier.

6. Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle. Conserve.

7. Support your church.

8. During elections, do your solemn duty.

9. Pay your employees well.

10. Pay your taxes.

11. Adopt a scholar or a poor child.

12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.

Today is the right Time. Invest in the Philippines through the Stock Market or other investment vehicles. But I am biased to Stock Market. I'll discuss why on my next posts. >;p
