^ para sa akin dapat mauna ang fundamental analysis before chart interpretation.

Why do many so-called finance experts (as seen on TV and seminars) recommend that Filipinos should enter the stock market? They even present stock trading as a very simple process, where in fact it is not. Learning FA and TA is surely not simple.

I have one question, if we do not apply either FA or TA in our trades, would it be akin to gambling?

If you will just rely on luck then for me that is gambling.

Ganoon lang siguro sila magsalita. Its like a person saying to ride a bicycle is very simple but to those who haven't tried it, its very difficult.

Just saw this line in a blog, "TRADING IS SIMPLE, BUT IT ISN'T EASY".. I will not quote the blogger. Bakit ko naman iko-quote ang blogger? Blogger lang 'yon.

But I think it should have been the other way around "Trading is easy, but it isn't simple".. watutink?

@kelacon, I think it's great you're so interested in stocks at such a young age. It's rare to see a teenager with your kind of initiative, and I think you'll go far, IF you make sure you've got the basics covered.

Are you earning your own money right now? You didn't mention if you have some sort of part-time job or business at 16 years old.

If you are earning, you set aside an emergency fund first. Life, just like the stock market, is unpredictable, and you never know what might happen to your parents (or whoever else is supporting you) tomorrow. While you're building your EF, you can use the time to study investing. After you have your EF, you can try investing in the stock market with actual money.

@sans mag start pa lang po ako mag invest dapat last june pa sa uitf or mf hanggang sa na delay and na realized ko sa stock market nalang. aware din po ba kayo sa sinasabi nilang ghost month?

@dax09 If it's your first time to invest, I'd recommend mutual funds or UITFs because they are managed by professional fund managers from banks, insurance companies, etc. Investing directly in the stock market is riskier because you're going to make all the decisions on your own - when to buy, when to sell, etc. No one does it for you.

Also, Chinese ghost month is just a superstition for me. Haha

bakit na-delay yung uitf/mf investment mo? pwede mo rin naman pagsabayin ang uitf/mf and stock market.. invest ka sa uitf/mf for long-term, then pasok ka sa stock market for short term investment.. of course, you must commit yourself to continuous learning..

If you are an absolute newbie, start with mutual funds (Level 1 investment according to Bro. Bo Sanchez). I suggest checking it out with Piloncitos.com, that is a great MF/UITF comparison site: http://www.piloncitos.com/fund-monitor-analyzer/

Using the fund analyzer will show you great MF's to consider and the best entry point/time. What happened to me was that when I invested last year August 31, 2011, the the market took a strong plunge starting Sept 26. So it needed more time for a substantial recovery. Anyway recently, I am happy with the +16% gains. Besides, who on earth would know the best time to enter, or how would the market go. Kaya naman ang Cost Averaging technique ay highly recommended to most people.

Once you get the feel of investing and started calling yourself "a happy investor" (you see green % gains sa iyong portfolio with MF's), you can gradually test the waters for stock investing. Firstly, analyze and decide how risk averse you are. Are you too scared of losing 5% of your money in the short term, or you are fine with losing 25%. Absolute Rule: Never to put most of your savings into the stock market. I have heard of people practically gambled their family's savings in high risk stocks and ended up losing a great portion of it. Start with a few thousands and slowly increase it over time. There are some good ways to go about starting in stock investing. We can discuss more of it as we go along...

Hope this helps. My two cents.

Hi Kelacon,

Goodjob na ang bata bata mo pa pero interesado ka na sa stocks. Tama yan! Hehe.
My suggestion is to keep on reading, and attend seminars. (Walang tatalo sa LIVE interaction eh).

In the mean time, baka ma-enjoy mo ito:
http://www.stockmarketforpinoys.com/blog/stock/4-myths-people-believe-about-the-stock-market/

Usually, dyan ako nag sisimula pag nagpapaturo mga friends ko paano mag invest eh. Sana makatulong yan.
