Can you recommend a stock investing book for beginners?

Inquirer:

Guita of Colayco Foundation:
Try Building Wealth With Stocks by the Philippine Stock Exchange available for free download on http://www.pse.com.ph If you want something more comprehensive the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham is a good book to start with. Just remember that the US Markets are different from the Philippine Market.

Inquirer:

It is possible assuming you can save the amount indicated at the bottom of the Net Worth Planning sheet and can invest it at the average annual rate recommended.

Guita of Colayco Foundation:
Time deposit will not meet your target return rate. Instead of the stock market,  consider mutual funds. visit http://www.pifa.com.ph for more info

Should I switch from UITF to MF?

Inquirer: 

i have uitf fund in pnb(dollar & peso) it is a good investment fund or mutual fund is better? thank you very much…

Guita of Colayco Foundation

UITFs are very similar to MFs. It essentially works and grows your money in the same way: pooling of funds from various investors to invest in the stock, debt and money market, depending on the type of fund chosen.

The notable differences are the following:
1. UITF management is by a bank because it is a bank product. MF management is by an MF management company.
2. In MFs, once invested you are a shareholder with voting rights (like in a corporation).

If you are happy with the performance of your UITF there is no need to redeem your funds and invest in an MF.

Compare performances of UITFs and MFs on these sites:
UITF: www.uitf.com.ph
MF: www.pifa.com.ph

Investments for Php5000

Inquirer:
san po pwede mkapag invest for as low as 5,000 pesos?
Guita of Colayco Foundation:
There are several investment opportunities to consider however not all of these may be the best option for you:
1. Mutual Funds – Initial investment Php5000, subsequent investments minimum Php1000. This is best utilized if you can save and invest Php1000 regularly (i.e. every month or every other month at the least).
2. Retail Treasury Bonds – In multiples of Php5000. This is best utilized if you need a safe and guaranteed investment which will give you regular income over a specified period.
3. Stocks – You can actually begin investing for as low as Php5000 however to truly take advantage of the stock market and manage your risks at the same time, you need to build the fund to at least Php150,000 over the course of 2-3 years.
It would be best to learn how to pick the best investment for you at one of Colayco Foundation’s upcoming seminars.

Before Investing Php150K in the Stock Market

Inquirer:
just want to ask if you have P150k and planning to invest it in the stock market. Am i right to spread it in 12months for example and invest slowly? Can i put the amount that i will invest in the last 6 months in time deposit first? rather than have it sit in my savings account? thank you so much

Guita of Colayco Foundation:
1. What is your financial goal?
2. When do you need to achieve your goal? Or how many years can you keep your money invested?
3. Have you invested in the stock market before or is this your first time?
These are the primary questions you need to answer before you invest in a particular instrument.
