Investiary

So, have you heard about the whole Eat Bulaga fiasco? It's been blowing up my social media feeds lately. Seems like the news has spread like wildfire, reaching Filipinos all over the world. As an investor in GMA7, I immediately checked the stocks and, boy, were they going down faster than a rollercoaster ride.  But hold up, before you start panicking, let me tell you what's up. One of the reasons why the stocks went down was because they recently gave dividends to their investors (yup, I was one of the lucky ones). But not all buyers of stocks are investors, some are just traders who want to earn some dividends and make a quick buck. 

I love dividend stocks , I have them in my COL Financial port. While checking the business news, I found out that STI gained P507 M net income in 9 months. If I was the owner, I'd most likely reward my investors so I checked if they are giving away dividends and I was surprised they did - back in January they gave 4.35% dividends. As of this day STI stock price is 0.35 cents with a 10K boardlot. Last January 2022, they gave a 2.94% dividends to stockholders .  STI current chart with January - 2023 dividends STI with January - 2022 dividends This takes me back to my student days in STI. They have good instructors but admin sucks. I remember my wife having a hard time getting my transcript of records. This is just a part of my study if I should buy their stocks - this does not convince me yet but I will check their finances at a later time to conclude my studies. Remember these terms: #dyor - do your own research #tayor - trade at your own risk thanks: to Investagrams for their chart...

I know I've already turned my back on my trading but my recent discovery of a technique or strategy -  a trading strategy which is I believe will be useful also in my investment stocks. You'll probably be asking me "What is this trading strategy? and how is it going to help in acquiring my favorite investment stocks which are of course dividend-earning stocks ?" The No. 1 Rule in Trading: Buy Low! First of all, we all know what the No.1 rule in trading is and that is to buy low, which means you try to buy a stock at its lowest or low value. While the stock price is of less concern when buying investment stock (to some), for me I still want to make sure that what I buy is still at its lowest value (at least during the period I decide to buy again) to make-up with the volume I buy - of course lower stock price means more volumes. Actually, investors love it when their favorite investment stock is at its low price because they can buy more volumes with their money.

I don't know how to start this new post again since I am using a different platform and it just ruined my day after I accidentally deleted all the text and I don't know how to undo it with Apple. Imagine the frustration  Anyways, let us not be bothered by it anymore. Moving on. Okay so lots of things happened and is still happening while I am offline. Recent events made me realize lots of things - good and bad ones. Before we go on, I would like to take this opportunity to ask each and everyone who is reading this to please say a prayer for all our medical practitioners (specially the Frontliners). I would also like to ask each everyone to pray for our country's leaders to have unity in battling this COVID issue and not concentrate on blaming each other or finding faults.  So for now I will give you update on what's happening on my investments and how it is going. For start, I will start with SeedIn which is me and my wife's favorite investment. Believe me when I sa...

In one of my financial literacy lessons back in my Nutriwealth Cooperative ( a ) business venture, I encountered the term " Living in Interest ". In that lesson, you are to increase your income source ( refer to my previous article " The X-Curve Concept " ) so you can overcome your financial responsibilities as you grow older. Once you have successfully overcome your financial responsibilities, you continue to add more income sources and in the process you gain a streaming passive income to the point your family up to the next generation will benefit from it. To explain it in another way, it is like multiplying yourself, your job and your salary to provide for the same family - and it has a good twist. And you keep that attitude of multiplying your source of income until even the upcoming generation in your family may benefit from it. Okay the good twist I was talking about awhile ago is that the other copies of yourself earns income while you are sleeping. Ok...
