Philippine Stock Market - FAQ :: Frequently Asked Questions
What are stocks?
Stocks are shares of ownership in a company. When you buy stocks of a publicly listed company, you become part owner of that company. As a part owner, you participate in the company’s growth and future profits. Conversely, you may also lose if the company suffers a loss or performs below market expectations.
What is a stock market?
The stock market is a place where stocks are bought and sold or a place where people can invest in publicly listed companies through the Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. (PSE).
Why invest in stocks? How do I make my money grow in the stock market?
Historical data has shown that investing in stocks over the long-term provides superior returns. Stocks offer potentially higher yields compared with fixed income instruments such as time deposits, government securities and bonds. There are three (3) rationales for stock investing:
a. Ownership in a company
When an individual invests in the stock market, he automatically becomes a stockholder of a particular listed company. As a stockholder, he is entitled to the following benefits: a.1) voting rights; a.2) dividends to be declared by the corporation; and a.3) share of the remaining assets of the company if it is to be liquidated.
b. Liquidity of funds
A stock market investor has easier access to funds. Compared with banks which require high minimum conditions for deposits and credit, an individual can start an investment for as low as Php 5,000.00. He can cash in or out his funds during trading hours, through his broker.
c. Make money
Investors in the stock market make money through dividends and capital appreciation. When a listed company declares dividends, its shareholders increase their investing power. An investor who buys into the company at a low market price and sells it at a higher price will gain capital appreciation.
What are the different dividends given by publicly listed companies?
There are two types of dividends that can be given by companies:
a. Cash dividends - these are earnings for every share of stock declared by the company.
b. Stock dividends - these are additional shares given to shareholders at no cost which can be sold anytime.
View historical dividends / rights declared by listed companies.
Is there any risk involved in investing?
While it is true that a stock investment is the most volatile of all securities, investors might well remember that uncertainty is a permanent feature of the investing perspective. This means that risk is always a part of any investment. A better attitude would be to limit and manage your risk. A maximum level of gain or loss should be set, and calculated decisions should be made when this level is reached.
How do I start investing in stocks? How much of my savings can be invested in stocks?
Just like an ordinary savings account, an investor has to open an account and present valid identification with a broker before he can actively trade stocks on the Exchange. An investor would need at least the minimum amount of investment to open a trading account which is Php5,000.00.
Getting started in the stock market is a simple process.
1. Choose your stockbroker or trading participant (view Stockbroker's Directory).
2. Open a trading account with your stockbroker of choice.
3. Place your buy or sell order either online or through a phone call to your stockbroker.
4. Monitor and keep track of your investments.
What is the minimum amount of initial investment?
The minimum amount of money needed to invest in the stock market depends on the minimum number of shares to be traded for the stock and the minimum amount required to open a trading account. The minimum number of shares that can be traded will be determined by the prevailing market price of a particular stock. The PSE has a Board Lot table which shows the minimum number of shares that can be bought or sold given a certain price range.

Philippine Stocks - HOW LIVE COACHING CAN MAKE YOU MORE MILLIONS
A famous Chinese proverb once said: “Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand.” This can’t be truer especially when learning a new skill like playing the guitar, culinary arts, computer programming and even in stock trading. Sure you can learn these things through reading but books can only take you so far. Nothing beats hands on learning which allows an individual to directly observe and understand a certain discipline.
Giving importance on showing rather than telling, Regina Online Investing took the usual stock seminar to the next level by hosting its first Stock Market Live Coaching last Sept 16 at the Y2 Hotel. Unconventional topics discussed during trading hours includes Ticker tape reading, How to read trends and signals on a live chart, How to manage trade emotions and Why peso cost averaging is not a strategy.
But what sets apart this seminar from the others? Here’s a rundown on some of the key takeaways during the stock market live coaching:
How to read trends and signals on a live chart
One of the reasons why chart analysis has become increasingly popular among traders is because of the availability of sophisticated charting software. The easy access to internet charting has also paved the way for quick dispersal of technical information. However, not everyone can read the underlying buy and sell stock signals

The Board Lot Table
How much is the minimum amount of investment?
Trading of stocks is done by board lot or round lot system. The Board Lot Table determines the minimum number of shares one can purchase or sell at a specific price range. Therefore, the minimum amount needed to invest in stocks varies and will depend on the market price of the security as well as its corresponding board lot.
Prices of stocks move through a scale of set price fluctuations. Prices are thus adjusted along these fluctuations at a time. Transactions which are beyond the prescribed number of maximum fluctuations from the last sale price are not allowed.

PSEi wipes out 2016 gains
The local stock barometer has wiped out all gains earlier seen in the year, sliding to the 6,800 level as US policy risk arising from Donald Trump’s election as the new president escalated aversion to most emerging markets.
The Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) shed 103.61 points or 1.49 percent to close at 6,871.48 on Monday as foreign investors trimmed exposure to emerging markets.
The PSEi has now fallen below the 6,952.08 end-2015 closing level. It has likewise slid by 15.3 percent from the stock barometer’s peak level of 8,118.44 seen last July

First Gen adds 511MW to natural gas portfolio
Lopez-controlled First Gen Corp. on Friday launched its 414-megawatt (MW) San Gabriel combined-cycle and 97-MW Avion open cycle natural gas-fired power plants in Santa Rita, Batangas, both of which run on natural gas — fossil fuel that produces, on average, 70 percent less emissions than coal when burned.
“It’s critical that the country looks ahead and anticipates the trajectory of technology and other forces ultimately steering us toward a decarbonized world,” First Gen chair and CEO Federico Lopez said in his speech during the plants’ inauguration. “We have the opportunity to leapfrog old 20th century technology, like coal plants, and instead build for the 21st.”
