Creating Wealth – Smart Personal Finance Habits for OFW’s

I will be hosting a webinar (for those who are not familiar with this jargon, that’s a seminar being conducted online) featuring my fellow blogger and personal finance advocate, Fitz Villafuerte on February 28, 2013 from 3PM to 4PM, Philippine time.

The webinar is the first online project to be conducted in 2013 by the OFW UsapangPiso forum and Angat Pilipinas Coalition for Financial Literacy to provide timely information to our overseas Filipino workers on how to improve their financial lives. We are truly blessed that we have the internet to aid us in our education and for spreading financial literacy to all Filipinos all over the world.

So if you are an OFW, a member of the OFW UsapangPiso forum, or a dependent of one who’s working overseas, then register now for this FREE webinar on how to improve your finances. Continue reading Creating Wealth – Smart Personal Finance Habits for OFW’s

My 3-guard combo stock market strategy is made up of three parts where the biggest part is dedicated to long-term investing. This is where I buy shares from two of my favorite companies: Ayala Land (ALI) and the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).

Guess why I chose them for my long-term investing. Cost-averaging for these two companies is like feeding green leafy vegetables for my portfolio’s longevity. 😛

The second biggest part is intended for my medium-term investing which uses the strategic averaging method. For the past few months, I have First Philippine Holdings (FPH), Meralco (MER), and Metro Pacific (MPI) that I buy below prices and continue to buy until target prices are hit. And then sell them all. But I may consider one of them to be part of my long-term investing soon. Continue reading I Trade With My Loose Change
