  2. @George, we have a discussion forum here specific to Stock Trading.

    Investing in stocks is really risky because the prices are volatile and can change in a matter of seconds. Timing of entry and the actual entry price are of the essence.

    If you don’t want to trade yourself, get a stock broker to do it for you. Visit the PSE website for a list of authorized brokers in the country.

  3. Magandang Araw po Ninong Manny! Pagpalain po kayo ni Yahweh Elshadai sa araw-araw na tinatahak nyo sa buhay at lola na po ang inyong buong Pamilya. God shall bless us all! All the way…
    Ninong Manny, gusto ko pong sumali sa programa nyo. Ako po si Jasmin Talento 35 yrs old, taga Imus Cavite. Meron na po akong tatlo anak. Ang panganay ko po ay grde 1 at ang pangalawa ay prep, ang bunso ko po ang higit na nangangaailangan ng atensiyon. Dahil po naipanganak ko po cya na may problema sa puso. Especial Child po ang pangatlong anak ko Ninong. Nakalabas dw po ang ugat ng puso nya, at kailangan dw po ng operasyon. Sabi po ng Doctor para maalis ang ugat na hindi makasama nang magsara ang puso nya.Kaya po talagang ingatan sya na hindi mahawa ng sipon at ubo dahil po mahina ang puso nya. Last year po nagkaroon sya ng polmonia at na confine sya ng isang buwan at muntik na po sya mamatay. Nakasurvive namn po sya, pero napakamahal ng mga gamot nya, at lalo po kami nabaon sa mga utang. Ninong ang asawa ko po ay OFW po sa SAUDI pero napakaliit lang po ng sahod nya at di po sapat para sa pangangailangan namin. Ang bahay din po namin Ninong hinuhulogan pa namin buwan2x, minsan po 6 months kami hindi makapagbayad dahil po sa pagpagamot ko kay bunso. Kaya gusto ko rin po sumali Ninong para manalo at magkaroon ng Puhunan. Na kahit andito lang po ako sa bahay meron din akong mapagkakakitaan. Sa ngayon po 2 yrs old p lng po ang bunso ko at napakapayat nya po. kasi minsa ko lng din po sya mabilhan ng maayos na gatas at vitamins. Pinag kasya2x ko lng po ang padala ng asawa ko. Ninong gusto ko po matulongan sa Financial na panggastos sa araw2x ang asawa ko. At para din po makapag-ipon n rin po ako para sa operasyon ng bunso namin.
    Pasalamat po talaga ako sa inyo at kay Yahweh Elshadai dahil kayo po ang gagamitin nya para matupad ang Prayer Request ko. Dati po me nag offer ng tulong sa akin, friend ng nanay ko. Pinagawa nya ang harap ng bahay namin, masaya na po sana ako dahil akala ko hulog ng langit sa amin. Naglagay pa sya ng grocery dito at ako ang pinapamahala nya. Ng operate kami ng two months lang. dahil hindi ko po nagustuhan ang sistema nya, masyado po mataas ang expectation nya sa income. At hindi ko kaya maabot iyon at wala po considerasyon, ayaw nya nagpapasahod. Gusto nya sya lang ang ipaghanapbuhay ko.Kaya po ngpasyal ako na ipull-out lahat ng paninda nya. Ang problema lng po yon napagawa nyasa tindahan sa harap ng bahay namin nakagastos dw po sya ng 60,000 at pinapabayaran nya sa amin. Kaya po lalong lumaki problema ko.
    Ninong Manny humihingi na po talaga ako ng tulong sa inyon na magkaroon nlng ako ng Kapital sa tindahan para po mapalago ko ito at mabayaran ko na lng po sya kahit papaano.Pagbutihan ko po talaga na mapaunlad ang biyaya na ibibigay nyo sa amin. 

    Maraming, maraming salamat po talaga at Praise God po sa pagbasa nyo. More Power and God bless us all to your program. God shall bless You more!!!
