Hi Yeye. Yes, elections affect the movement of stock prices. I was able to find a chart of historical return of the Philippine Stock Market comparing election vs. non-election years. You might find it useful in your decision in stock trading. Nevertheless, if it’s a blue chip stock, my suggestion is not to withdraw first.

I just some of the articles and its been helpful insight specially that i’m scared right now because i just started investing my money(not that big amount but still it is money)
Due to the coming elections, the company that i put my money in just posted an article that the investors should top slice their investment and that’s what im afraid right now because im just starting out, i dont want to withdraw my stocks because i would like to learn this process. do you think the elections affect the stocks and thus is it will recover after all?

Just thinking about stuff like this gives me a better sense of what I’m doing. Sites like this are really helping people who just don’t have anywhere else to get this kind of information.

Free online charts? Why not go directly to the Philippine Stock Exchange Website?

http://www.pse.org.ph

You will see there a daily graph of the stock index and also a graph of individual share prices.

Actually that is what I’ll be trying to do. I will just start with a low investment to use in stock trading, though I have been playing online stock market virtual games, nothing still beats that real one.

I am though trying to look for free online charts of psei stocks…I saw yehey.com before having that one on their financial section but now I can’t see it on their site. Any recommended sites?

Fear of any kind is my enemy. I fight it as if my life depends on it. The fear of investing is a fear of loss. If a person is holding on to something so much that they are afraid to risk, they are already half way dead! Nice post. Thanks for letting me vent on your blog:)

Hi Lhoy, I would suggest you to visit the Philippine mutual funds website and you can inquire from the numbers listed when you go the fund’s name:

Alternatively, you can also visit the Unit Investment Trust Fund (UITF) website. Go to each bank’s name and to each fund profile that they are offering. The minimum participation is the minimum amount required.

That is nice to hear Jay. You are already “retired” from corporate life. I hope to be able to retire also when I reached my 40s. As of now, I am building assets that would provide passive income and would eventually replace my active income in my day job.

I agree with Vic, taking calculated risks is key. I guess I’m ready to face my fears as I am putting my money where my mouth is. I have already resigned from my day job effective end of December 2009. Based on my calculations, my passive income is just enough to replace my active income and my emergency fund is also intact in spite of Ondoy. I hope to grow my passive income with the additional time at my disposal this coming new year. Advanced Happy New Year to all of us and may God bless us all!!!

Getting a mutual fund pose very little risk. You can try to apply for one locally, initial investment is really cheap at P10000

Robert Kiosaki is very good in teaching and guiding how to invest. I hear some audio book form Robert and its nice to listen before going to sleep. One of his tips is you must know how to read numbers and that will erase your fear.

Hi Tyrone,

That’s a great personal finance and investing article. You are right the fear of losing money is one major reason in investing failure. As for me, having no money to invest is my initial problem. Lol.

Seriously, to be a great investor, we should learn how to calculate risk and face those risk. The saying…no pain no gain is not absolute. We can actually be precise and avoid losing with our investments by using quantifiable factors. Why can airplanes fly and takeoff safely for most of the time? It’s becuase of “precision”. Thus, everything is calculated from direction, navigation to destination. Of course with an addition of a simple yet sincere prayer from above.

Nice comment! Yeah, I agree with you. Fear constricts us to our own shelves and it hides us from various opportunities that lies ahead of us. We must be confident, face our fears and face the challenges! It’s how winners become winners!
