An initial public offering (IPO) or stock market launch is a type of public offering where shares of stock in a company are sold to the general public, on a securities exchange, for the first time. Through this process, a private company transforms into a public company. Initial public offerings are used by companies to raise expansion capital, to possibly monetize the investments of early private investors, and to become publicly traded enterprises. A company selling shares is never required to repay the capital to its public investors. After the IPO, when shares trade freely in the open market, money passes between public investors. Although an IPO offers many advantages, there are also significant disadvantages.^,..

ako pod ako na sya gi-add na favorite list.. daghan salamat talaga Tyrone. I hope you will be reps and myself’s mentor.. mahirap ang landas ng “financial freedom” and “financial literacy” if mag-isa ka lang and walang taong magaling na magtuturo sa yo o di kaya mag guguide… Mentor us naman…

hi sir tyrone, can u clarify more on fluctiations..

“The movement of stock prices is also subjected to ‘fluctuations‘. This is also dependent on the price of a stock. Here in the Philippines, a stock with a price of 101 and up per share is subject to a fluctuation of 1.00. It means that it can move to a multiple of 1, lower or higher, but it cannot move 0.25. Therefore, you cannot buy or sell it at 101.25 or 101.50″

Are there rules in selling ur shares at a price? for eg u buy 1000000 shares at a price of 0.01 then sell it lets say 0.011, is this possible?

newbie here tnx…

If you’re a newbie investor and don’t have much time monitoring your investments, I suggest to invest in mutual funds and unit investment trust funds.

Hi Alvin,

It can be good depending on the performance of your company. In this situation, you don’t have control over which stocks to buy because the company is investing in your behalf and they are only buying their own stock. The company is bias in this case. All eggs are in one basket which is the stock of your company. What if the company does not perform well? What if there are major issues affecting the stock of the company?

I would say it is still better to diversify your investments in several stocks, not just in one stock alone. In this case, I think it is better using Citiseconline or BPI Trade.

Hi Tyrone,

The company I am working right now has this program called Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP) wherein the company deducts 1~10% from our gross income and invests the accumulated amount every six months to purchase stocks of the company (Wdc). Do you think this would be better than say using Citiseconline or BPI Trade?

pretty covers the terms we have in our initial encounter with stock market investments

Ayala Corp. (AC) declared to give 20% stock dividend declaration ex-date June 1; payment date July 31. Cash dividend of Php 5.75 per share ex date September 1, payment date October 30.

- As an investor, if you want to take advantage, acquire as much stock as you can before the ex-date. If the investor bought 100 shares of AC before September 1, the he/she will have 120 shares by June 1.

I think there’s an error here. I presume you should’ve bought before June 1 so you’ll have 120 shares by July 31.

As part of my investing plan, I started learning about stocks just this month of November and I found your site. So far, I find your site very informative and most relevant. I’m thinking of sharing your thoughts on my blog with a link back to your site. Thanks for educating novices like us online. Grace and peace!

madali lang po sa stock market. mga kasambahay at driver nga ni bro Bo Sanchez is into stock market din. pwede rin po nyo subukan muna maglaro sa stock trading game ng PSE sa website nila(real time)… you can buy & sell stocks using your “start up capital of 1M”. pero iba pa rin thrill pag actual na. newbie in stocks po…
