invest in a bank or the stock market?

In my opinion, many people from the Philippines have missed an investing opportunity that could increase their cash - be it capital or savings. Some even think that investing can only be done through savings or time deposit accounts in banks; aside from investing in a business - store, boutique, restaurant, or franchise. The avenue for investing that I am referring to is the Philippine Stock Exchange or the stock market. While some may have heard of the stock market, many have wrong notions about it. People think that it is very risky (although that is partly true) and can spell disaster for their hard earned cash. However, investing in banks do entail a level of risk and at some point worse than investing in the stock market.

Now, why am I sounding as if the stock market is the better option of investing over banks? Because in the long term, you can earn more in the stock market. Consider a savings account in a bank which earns an annual interest of 1% or a time deposit account which earns 5% per annum - if I had 10,000 pesos in the bank, after a year I have an additional 100 in my savings account and 500 in my time deposit account. Looking at it, the earnings are not that much.

In the stock market, on the other hand, one can earn as little as 20% annually; in some cases, some earn more than 200% of their invested amount - which spells, from an initial investment of 10,000 pesos to an additional 2,000 for 12% earnings and 20,000 for a 200% increase. Now that is much!

While this might seem very attractive, let me spoil it with the reality that its not easy to invest in the stock market because there are risks involved. However, the key to minimizing these risks is not expertise in how to trade, rather, an investor must develop the most important trait - discipline.

More on this in the coming posts...

work from home

Many people today are looking for opportunities to earn a living without leaving the comfort of the home - work at home. Those who know a lot of "techie stuff" do succeed in this field since the demand for these jobs (i.e. SEO optimization, wordpress, VAs, internet marketing, etc.) is high, thus, those whose knowledge is limited to browsing the internet is at a disadvantage. However, presently this is not true anymore since there also simple ways to earn from the internet such as taking surveys and doing pay per click advertising.

trading stocks is easy

I have been reading a few materials related to stocks lately and have realized that a lot of people have no idea of the great opportunities in stock trading. Most people have preconceptions and myths that they have not really looked into and because of this, only a handful of people enjoy the benefits it can bring. I read in a book that stock trading is as easy as managing household finances. It has become difficult and intimidating for some because of its jargons. However, I cannot say much yet since I have been on it for a month and have only learned a few but I am positive that a year from now, I can say a lot of this about stock trading and its rewards. For now, I have to thoroughly learn the basics and all that is necessary for me to become an expert trader.

managing wealth

Every person has the opportunity to become rich. Some make it through hard work, diligence, knowledge, and skill. While others get it through the numbers game. However, those who really stay rich are those who know how to properly manage their wealth.

Some individuals might find this hard to believe but look around you and notice that you need not be working twice as hard, be in an office or graduate from college in order to become wealthy. The media has featured a number of successful people who have had this kind of background. There are a lot of opportunities today and those who pay attention to it are the ones who greatly benefit. To name a few - blogging, online shop, franchising or carting, or even a simple load retailer. But with these opportunities, not all of these people have become richer.


The number one thing they miss out is managing their finances. They have failed to notice that as their incomes grew, their expenditures proportionally, or to some extent, exponentially went up. People tend to neglect restraining themselves in satisfying their wants and this is the beginning of their fall to debt or to simply breaking even.


If we want our wealth to last beyond our lifetime, we need to have a plan and learn to effectively manage what we have.

patience brings wealth

It has been almost a month since I started investing on the stock market and I have been learning a lot of things. But, the most important thing that I learned and continue to develop is patience. I have learned the value of waiting for investments to grow despite the varying opinions on the market. Time cannot always be an enemy. Time can be a friend and an asset to success and prosperity. Also, with patience I have learned to do more important things rather than stare at the charts the whole day. I thank God for my wife who continually reminds me to keep in touch with reality and not lose focus on things that are in need of much attention right now. After all, stock trading is a long term investment (especially with a small starting capital).

novice investor

It has been a week since I started investing in the stock market and I am a bit overwhelmed by the many things I needed to learn. However, I am also excited with it that I religiously wake up before the market opens and prepare myself before trading happens. When I think about it, ideas continue to fill and grow in my mind. I was glad though that I was not fully hooked into it since I needed to spend time with my real work and also with my commitment to the ministry. 

One of the discussions I had this week was related to passion and it is said of passion that it is something you can do with all enthusiasm and at times forget the passage of time while at it. So, is this my passion? Or is this only for a short time? If this is it then I need to really know my way around this. 

Personally, I find excitement and fun while investing in the stock market and I am hopeful that not only will we grow financially but that our country’s economy grow as well.

working online

For the past few months, I had some free time from work and while I was browsing through the Internet I came across opportunities to earn money online. I have discovered that there are many things that you can work on. Most of these jobs are easy and does not require a degree. Some of these jobs include article writing, data entry (spreadsheet or document), virtual assistant, and website designer and maintenance. There are also sites that feature surveys that pay you a good amount for taking the time to answer their questions.

Those that I have tested that had employers who really pay you for your work are EasyOutsource and OnlineJobsPH.
