So the Philippine Stock Market will halt all trading activities starting today and will continue to do so until further notice. Whats next? What'll happen to the market when trading's online again? All we can do now is make sure that we're healthy along with our family and friends. A lot of businesses and workers will be affected by this community quarantine in Luzon. Let's hope that this virus will be obliterated soon. Once we overcome this pandemic, we'll see how the market looks and start assessing if it's a good time to buy stocks.

There are a lot of things that drive or affect the prices in the stock market and I've picked 5 of the most influential ones on this episode. To broaden our knowledge about stock investing, we need to learn about these thing and always consider them before purchasing any security.

I think it's a good time to buy stocks since you'll be purchasing them on a bargain as the market is down due to a number of factors, with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) as the main one. 

If you're not interested with high dividend paying stocks, I listed 3 companies you can buy from the PSE that have passed the test of time whether the economy is in turmoil or thriving. Hope this helps you make your decision where to invest your money!

More often than not, we buy dumb things that we don't need to impress other people that we don't particularly like. This is what Gary Vaynerchuk preaches and I'm also guilty of doing this for the majority of my young life. However, I've changed my spending habits after I graduated college and adapted a frugal and investor lifestyle. In this episode, I discuss some of the things that you should avoid buying this year.

"Be grateful you even have a chance because the odds of becoming a human being are 400 trillion to one." - Gary Vaynerchuk #frugal #investing #investor #financialliteracy #stocks #stockinvesting #donotbuyacar

Obviously, the corona virus outbreak affected the performance of the PSEi and it's down to 6,787.91 (back in February 28). I think it's not time to panic and just hold on to your dividend paying stocks. Even if say, the market crashes and the Philippine economy will be in turmoil, as long as the businesses you have in your portfolio thrives and are still profitable in these "uncertain" and "hard" times, you'll be okay.

We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful. - Warren Buffett #stockmarket #stockinvesting #dividends #dividend investing #philippines #pinoy #pinoyinvestor

In this new episode, I discuss what ambidexterity is and why I want to be ambidextrous myself. It's not really related to personal finance but this topic is very interesting to me and I think it's worth sharing with you guys.

In today's episode, I briefly discuss why I'm interested to buy stocks of CEB: Cebu Air, Inc. If you're eyeing this stock, too, this one's for you.
