Wealth in Stocks

I was recently at a market briefing called, “Riding the Bull with Growth Companies.” The guests included the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and speakers from the Philippine Stock growth companies, Banco de Oro, DMCI Holdings, ICTSI, Metro Pacific Investments and Alliance Global. Discussed were the different companies’ development and prospects for the coming years. The objective of the event’s organizer was to bring about to the audience the mindset to ride the bull market with confidence, or simply put, to help clients become smarter investors, and therefore lead to the development of the much needed mass retail investors in the country.


A speaker mentioned that in the past, capital was the reason for success in the Philippine market. According to him, “…Because there was a shortage of capital, the business group that was very good in finance & in marketing was the one that succeeded very well.” Today, however, capital is no longer a critical advantage with business groups.

In the past, people say that the stock market was only for people who have money and good connections. A wealthy person has a financial adviser and has to invest in millions. These days, almost anyone can participate in the stock market by turning on the computer and being online. With a minimum of P5,000, one can already invest (succeeding investments are up to the depositor’s discretion). Now, it is only a matter of learning how to get started and engage in the wealth building business by owning a part of growth companies.

With the advancement of the internet, more local investors are starting to realize the benefit of investing in the stock market. “After shares of trading tuned at 64% from 50% two to three years ago, evidence shows that the stock market rewards insightful decisions in well managed and reputable companies,” revealed the PSE. According to a recent study, “Online investors have increased to a remarkable 46.8% in 2009. In terms of the number of trade, online trade accounted for 12.8% of the total trade in 2009 to account for around 49 B PHP in value turnover for the same period.” With the current upgrades in the market and available advancements in technology, the PSE is seriously planning to make life easier for more online traders, esp. for Overseas Filipino Workers.

Although there is an increase in the number of people investing in the Philippine stock market, most savings are still placed in regular banks, limiting the growth of money to less than 1% to 4%. But in the stock market, by merely investing at a rate of P2,000 a month, you can already project a growth of P5 million in 20 years! Isn’t that great? You can make a fortune even from small amounts! The stock market really has the capacity to allow your money to grow. The question now is how to pick good quality stocks, with a choice of over 250 companies in the PSE. Stocks are just one of the many investment vehicles you can learn at the Wealth Academy.
