3 Keys to Successful Investing

If you are following this blog for the past 3 years, you can still remember how I turned my 300k stock portfolios into 1M pesos thru trading, this time I'm concentrating on long term or value investing. My goal is to turn 250k into 1M thru value investing. 

I'm hitting the 300k marks this month. Nothing special on this strategy but I want to share 3 keys to successful investing.

Here are the 3 keys;

First, Pick your favourite industry. " Don't invest on something that you don't understand " - Warren Buffet. If you have an expertise on a specific field, for ex: banking, then analyze the outlook of that specific industry and pick the right stock.



Second, Know the true value of the company. You don't buy a stock without knowing a target price or fair value, it should be always undervalued before you buy it. Making a mistakes on entry point will hold you in prison.



Third, Patience. When I said long term, at least 3 years not a day, a week or a year. If you have a heart problems better not to open your stock portfolios everyday. Stock market will test your patience.

I learned those thru EW experience and I'm recovering from my paper losses.



I'm looking forward to your investing success.

Sincerely yours,

Jonathan Ruiz CPA,MIB

A Dividend Life

Image
Rich people have their money work hard for them, Poor people work hard for their money.

This wealth file beliefs should be on our system, working hard is important but working hard alone will not make you rich. You should know how to handle your money and let it works for you while asleep.

I'm dreaming that one day, there is no need for me to be actively working and my investments return will be enough to cover my daily living expenses.

Investing in the stock market is a vehicle to reaching a dividend life. As investopedia defined it, Dividend is a distribution of a portion of company's earnings decided by the Board of Directors, to a class of it's shareholders.

Here are examples of cash dividends I received this month of May;

GMA7

ICT

Total Amount of Cash Dividends = 5285.70.
The stock account for dividends above are from my baby daughter and I can see it growing slowly but surely. 
Why not start your own dividend lifestyle?
I'm looking forward to your Financial Freedom…

How to set a Target Price?

Image
Happy moments of PSEi hitting the 8000 level. Newbies increasing number is a good sign that investing is for everyone.I keep receiving the question: How to set a Target Price?

I will give you 3 simple steps;

First, Buy stock at a possible lowest point. Try to look at history for 52 weeks and calculate the average price, if the stock is trading below the average price then start accumulating. Here is a good example my ICT, I bought this stock last August 2016 for 84.95:


Second, Sell the stock after receiving dividends. ICT is turning 1 year in my portfolio this coming August 2017 and I received dividends last May 2017;

Third, Have at least 15% gains. I used PAM PSE TRACKER to calculate my potential gains (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.athanruiz.pam&hl=it ) I'm trying not to become greedy and no regrets after selling the stock:

I sold ICT with 18.77% gains:

Total Gains 16,381.35 PHP = 14,380.65 + 2,000.70 
To God be the Glory!!!

1M Loss Due to Hype

Image
I would like to give my opinion to a newbie who recently posts his portfolio in IPSM.


As per his posts;
He said,  this is his only money left for retirement, and he recently started last June 2016 in which index is at a high level 7800. He lost already 1 M thru following hyped stocks and took  risky moves, I believed his trading for a short term gains and trying to get a piece of pie very quick. 
To be honest this is a dangerous move especially if you are already on your retirement age. This money on his account can be wiped out easily. He should handle this money in a cautious way.
How will I manage the remaining 3.8 M pesos left on this account?
If he is receiving a monthly pension, no problem with house rent, no dependent, secured with health and life insurance, I will say nothing to worry about and start to fix the problems today. But if you don't have any of these then reflect and plan today.
First, Pull out 6 months of living expenses in the portfolio and put it on 6 months…
