They need your IDs and physical appearance, though.<br /><br />2) They charge tinsy amount per buying and selling which is called commission fee and all the taxes which is about more or less 12 percent of your gross amount OR minimum of 20 pesos per transaction. <br /><br />3) When buying stocks, be mindful of the Boardlot. Boardlot is a minimum of stocks you have to buy to get that particular stock.Example:<br /><br />JCF: boardlot 10<br /> Price per stock : 100<br /><br />10x100= 1,000= Meaning you have to pay 1,000 to be able to buy JFC. You can't just 5 stocks minimum. It should be 10,20,30 increments and not 5,15,25 etc<br /><br /><br />5,000 is more than enough per month. I suggest you buy one stock at a time per month para you can save sa transaction fee. It could be ALI this month or JFC this month and so on. That's how I do mine coz Im super-kuripot<br /><br />Tip? Buy stocks you know and enjoy and from now on, everytime you buy or consume something, read the label and see if the company is listed publicly and go for it. It feels good to put money on companies who makes products you enjoy.<br /><br />Anyway, may FAQ page ang COL. Please read it to be sure. I am abroad kasi and I opened COL account 3 years ago baka they change na their policies with regards to requirements: just copy paste it sa search engine mo if Hindi mo ma click:<br /><br />https://www.citiseconline.com/final2/b_home_new/HOME_Faqs.asp<br /><br />Let me know if you how it goes and good luck!

I have some questions. I hope you can help me out.<br /><br />1. Is it really needed to provide my bank account number? Do I have to open a savings account, I am working in the same building of COL, so I can go and pay straight to them. I am thinking if Bank account is really necessary or it is only for those people who couldn't go there directly in their office?<br /><br />2. Aside from the 5k initial amount, do I have to pay them like service fee or other charges? <br />*how can COL earn from us?<br /><br />3. What are the stocks that I can consider with my initial investment? Double Dragon has a good start, I am considering JFC, AYALA or SM, but is it suited with the 5k or I have to add? I am planning to have 5k initial and 5k monthly on Cost averaging. <br /><br />Tips? My first time, you know, idol? ^^<br />I am looking for your email so I can ask you privately, but I can't find it. <br />Thank you so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355453213856464354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-72037962387826973552014-03-20T06:43:53.289-07:002014-03-20T06:43:53.289-07:00Hey, thanks for dropping by.

It depends kasi sa leftover after I give my mom her pang gastus sa pinas but I made sure nah I'm investing 50k plus every month but not more than 120k per month. <br /><br />Take note too that I started investing 2011 but I stopped for a year coz I had to fix and put rooms sa house, admitted my bro to a rehab center, helped my Lola in her cataract surgery and all. I was really carrying a lot of responsibility for that period of time so I didn't get to invest for a year. Now, I'm making up for it. Don't do what I did, invest every month kahit 5k lang no matter how hard. Time is our friend in investing. I should have done that too but I was so overwhelmed with financial stuff that I forgot about investing.<br /><br />I hope you will be able to find courage and take the plunge soonest. The stock market is in the bear territory now, nice to take advantage. And oh, invest in knowledge and I hope you would drop by here often.Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-31207449835968641672013-12-14T10:37:27.398-08:002013-12-14T10:37:27.398-08:00Hi PinasforGood!

Anyway, I am investing...Hey, not a bother at all:)<br /><br />Anyway, I am investing in blue chip stocks- giant companies. They are companies that are proven and tested and have been in business since as long as I can remember, Ex: SM, BPI and the likes. I am pretty confident that they will be in the business 10-20 years from now. I did a little bit of fundamental analysis there.<br /><br />I got 24 companies. I do little investing in Real State sector, banks, malls, utilities, builders, etc..<br /><br />Always remember not to put all your eggs is one basket. Spread it out so when banking companies you invest in is getting weak and real state companies you are investing is strong, then you are ahead of the game.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by.<br /><br /><br />Maria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-70222564981129695712013-10-09T07:08:52.063-07:002013-10-09T07:08:52.063-07:00hello, I'd like to ask because you've alre...hello, I'd like to ask because you've already reached a million (or millions?), does it get hard to manage your investment? I mean, because the amount is bigger, is it not a headache contemplating on which company to invest on and how much?<br /><br />how many companies are you investing on at the moment? i mean, i was thinking the list gets longer and longer as your money grows? or you just increase your investment on each company. i was thinking if a company fails and the investment is big, you also lose big time. So how do u minimize this risk?<br /><br />thanks. i am sorry for bothering....Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374786460310110045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-81099741233289072582013-08-28T07:41:08.062-07:002013-08-28T07:41:08.062-07:00Thanks for reading my blog!

It's easy to understand and doesn't contain finance jargon. I highly recommend this book to all Filipino newbies in investing.<br /><br />I also love Alvin Tabañag's 12 steps to Build Wealth on any income. It's a compact and tag-lish book.<br /><br />When I was starting out, I didn't read any investing blogs,for unknown reasons. I mostly rely on books, so I really cant recommend a finace blog. Now that I am bloggig, I come across a lot of Filipino finance bloggers so hopefully, you can find a blogger that fits your style.:)<br /><br />Good LuckMaria Abellanosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104026512253095345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103696878033438648.post-5125036011180162092013-08-28T05:20:02.843-07:002013-08-28T05:20:02.843-07:00Congratulations and good job! :)

It took a great deal of courage and studying coz the market was bloody around that time but I trusted Warren Buffett's words that investor's should be happy when the market is down coz you can buy great companies in a great price.It's like shopping in a "candy store", he said.
