oldblue,

some advice.

the only best way is to actually start buying and selling. get a real broker, not online, para you can exchange views and ask questions. hopefully, patient sya when you start to trade and monitor the market, you will get a feel of it. like you will know when a stock falls to a good price to buy. basic strategy yun, buy low, sell high. later, if you have more confidence and information, you can buy high, and sell even higher.

read the business pages too. and internet sites. information is the key. later you will be familiar with the other aspects of trading, like psychology, spotting trends, etc.

igor,

you can check out www.pse.org.ph (that's the website of the philippine stock exchange) i think there is a list of brokers there. or you can check out the electronic billboard na naka post sa harap ng SM Mega, the building with the theaters. nag ad yata PSE dun with a telephone number you can call.

by your 2nd question, do you mean pooling the money from some of your friends and investing in the market? actually, me and some of my friends did that for awhile. pero honor system na lang. tska i hope you can agree which stock to buy. if you have a friend who is investing at pwede ka bumakas sa kanya, why not.

but nothing beats learnng on your own bec if you lose, at least you have only yourself to blame. consider it tuition for an MA, or a course on the stock market

Redhorse, Van wilder. How did you guys find out about mrc,stn and rlt? I usually trade in blue chips and 2nd liners; never heard of those stocks before. My broker never mentioned those to me either.

Make sure when you stay at the deck don't ever talk to the syndicate there, and if you don't plan to watch your stock "live" go to big brokerage house i.e. citibank, hsbc etc..

you need a live ticker, and you must be quick, be very very quick...

without insider information it would be very hard to get info on these third-line stocks... i love trading in mining since its very risky and mataas ang returns, pero i make sure na calculated yun risk... MRC and STN is based on observations... one in a thousand yan ganyan kaya dont expect it to happen everyday...

ganito gawin mo...

play only 5-10% (or less) of your money sa stocks...

then ang breakdown para medyo safe yet medyo masmataas ang returns kaysa blue chips ganito...

40% >> blue chips
35% >> second liners
25% >> thirdliners

ako...

15% blue chips
25% second liners
60% third liners...

imagine the risk... pero often times doon ako sa unang breakdown, once in a while nilalaro ko para mamaximize returns and minimize ang risk... actually im going to establish a funds (mutual/hedge) ako mag-manage pero yun returns sa investor... may cut lang ako pati isang funds naman na fix ang interest...

hindi broker ang dapat magaling diyan... dapat ikaw... kasi hindi niya pera yun nilalaro... dapat magaling diskarte... through time ka rin gagaling... sa stocks ITS NOT HOW MUCH YOU GAIN, BUT HOW LITTLE YOU LOSE... dont be afraid to take some losses in order to get a bigger gain... kung down ka ng 5-10% yun stocks dont expect it to recover agad so ditch it...
