Stock Market: Understanding Stocks

[PILIPINAS]

Here's a link about stock market (http://stocks.about.com/od/understandingstocks/a/Stockintro.hym).

I'd like to ask, kung sino man po sa inyo dito sa TF, ang may alam or experience on trading and stock investments.

I think the explanation on the link is too theoretical, I need to hear it in layman's terms.

Lastly, if you have the money, will you invest on stocks. If ever, which share will you buy?

Thank you.

[Firipinjin]

As a hobby, I do a bit of daytrading or swing trading. I play the Japanese stock market and use Rakuten's Marketspeed trading system. For so many years, my money was mostly kept in the local banks. I think I must have earned something like 1,500 yen for each year that I kept it deposited. When I opened an account middle of last year with Rakuten, i made much more in 1 week (trading) than I did in 1 year (bank deposit interest).

Stock trading is not for everyone. If you don't know what you're doing, you can win some but can lose everything (even the shirt you're wearing). A good starting investment would be around 500,000 yen. You can shop around for the 'cheaper' stocks. However, there are so called 'fast moving' stocks and long term investments. If you want to be a daytrader (wouldn't care what stock to buy but only take notice of the price changes for the day), I would look closely at the tech stocks and the banks.

Visit investopedia.com so you can learn more information about investments and how to analyze them. Here is a link (http://www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/05/011705.asp) from investopedia on day trading.

@Firipinjin
Thank you for the advice.
I have a (few) dollar account. Like stock shares, biglang tumataas at bumababa din ang value nito. But recently, with the war still going on at Iraq, parang gusto kong i-divert into stocks na lang. Kaya lang, like you said, very risky, kase wala akong alam.
Just out of curiousity, I read that if you invest your money on IT shares, wala daw talo? There's a Jap. yuppie who earned ichi oku en within few months. Totoo kaya ito?

[chris_rock]

if i may chime in, investing in IT-related stocks isn't without it's pitfalls. as in almost every industry, the "wala daw talo" perception mostly applies if you have both of these factors on your side; business intelligence and projection.

when to buy and when to sell are also staples of the trade. one should know when to hold on and when to bail out. a lot of investors have been burned for not studying what they were holding on to; only to find out that what they were holding on to had been rendered worthless already.

blue-chip stocks are considered 'solid' investments as they're prices do not tend to sway easily; the downside is, they cost a lot to acquire.

playing the investing game involves a substantial amount of research and understanding of how the market works.

hope i made some sense.

[PILIPINAS]

@chris rock
Of course you made sense, as always.
First of all, I don't have the business intelligence and projection because(?) I don't have the experience. Pero di 'ba trabaho ito ng trader to advice the client when to pull-out or stay? But then again, mahirap bang magtiwala?
Also, I'll check on this blue-chip stocks (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bluechip.asp), too. Thanks for the info.

[Firipinjin]

In Japan, as in the US, any individual can make their own investments. There is a growing number of individual day traders in Japan, there are millions of daytraders in the US (housewives, college students--over 18 y.o., rich bums, etc.). As I wrote, my main trading system is Marketspeed (all Japanese). You can check out also E-trade (www.etrade.ne.jp). Playing the Japanese stock market is a bit difficult so you need to read news daily.

As for the lucky japanese daytrader, yes he is for real. He is a 25 year old NEET (not in education, employment, or training) ergo a bum. He started daytrading in stocks 5 years ago (he was featured on TV which is why i know). His initial stock investment was about 300,000 if I am not mistaken. He steadily grew his investment for the next 4 years to about 8 million yen. Early this year, he hit paydirt! Mizuho bank shares were being traded in February 2006 at around 600,000 yen per share. Because this lucky daytrader was in front of his pc monitoring his investments -- it was like playing pachinko all day. Suddenly, there was a TSE system glitch. For an instance, Mizuho shares were suddenly being traded at 1 yen per 600,000 shares! Nag-switch by mistake yung stock price at stock share. Nakita niya ito and he ordered 3,000 yen worth of stocks! (do the math: 3,000 x 600,000). Because there was no automatic cancellation of erroneous orders, nakiusap yung Mizuho sa kanya to buy back the shares at an agreed price. The lucky daytrader earned a whopping 300 million yen overnight! The next day, the story was all over the papers and on TV.

you're right! business intelligence and projection take time to be learned! & tama ka rin dun that your stock broker should know enough when to put, hold & sell...kaya dapat yung broker mo, as much as possible, is someone u know or referred by a friend...& the most important, he/she should be a licensed one....otherwise baka mafly-by-night ka...this is critical especially if ur a newbie in these stuff!

as you get to play, you learn how to read the market. coz you get interested in reading the business section kasi nga meron ka vested interest. you get to learn what happen in the business world which, of course, may impact the company's stock performance...you can also see which stocks have fast turn-over, then you can do some trending, speculation, etc. that way, you'll get to understand if your broker did the right placement for your money...but you should also be cautious, coz there are innocents na pwede mabiktima ng insider trading! & it's a criminal liability under any state law.again, your broker plays a crucial role! be sure na di ka nya ipapahamak..

dito sa pinas...i used to play in the stock market nun medyo maganda pa economy! during the time of ramos to be specific. most of the time, i hold the stocks for quite sometime. i read the papers to check for any developments about the company where i have holdings & make some research especially if the year is about to close. then, i'll decide whether i will sell the shares or will take hold of them until the company makes public announcement of the company's performance during the year! it's also exciting to be a daytrader, meaning you buy when the exchange opens and sell before it closes! this one, you won't need an outlay, unless you lost in the deal by trading close. if ur lucky, u get a gain from the deal! the ones where i gained a lot were from IPOs (initial public offering). based on experience, IPO shares tend to go up until the first few months. it reaches its peak, then, will go down. it's quite judgemental though when to sell...have the shares reached the peak? or will it still increase? quite difficult to know coz the company is newly-listed.

& firipinjin is right! you win some, you lose some! ganun talaga! it's really a game! but sympre, more often you win! coz as i've said, when u get used to it, you get the sense of it! minsan, nahuhulaan mo na! but now, i stopped! not so rewarding anymore! i just opt for risk-free investments. the earnings are not as much as the listed stocks if u get lucky, but at least, you have guaranteed returns!

advice lang po, if you're really interested in stock trading, it is prudent that you get a feel of the market first...not necessarily knowing the ins & outs coz that would take time! try visiting bloomberg.....& ask some friends who can refer you to a good broker (firipinjin might help you with that :D) before you take the plunge!

[greatbarrier]

hi pilipinas!

further to my post, i opened the link in your thread! it's way too technical only a finance person can explain! it's difficult to explain that in laymen's term just through posting in this forum. you need a one-on-one discussion.

in my first posting, i only speak of the philippine stock market. i heard from my friend who is a licensed broker that the japanese stock market is more dynamic....

but i guess, tama si firipinjin, start it as a hobby lang, so that if you loose, di masyadong nakakaiyak!

@firipinjin, have u tried investing in IPO shares? did u gain?

[Firipinjin]

@firipinjin, have u tried investing in IPO shares? did u gain?

My very first IPO investment was way back when PNB went public. I still remember na halos ilang milyong pinoy din ang nakabili ng at least 1 share duon sa IPO.

I haven't tried investing in any IPO here in Japan. First of all, hindi ko kabisado ang mga IPO companies. The business environment in Japan is rather competitive. I spend my time and money on listed companies with a solid business model.

A good source of business news is the nikkei (nni.nikkei.co.jp). It's in english but you have to subscribe for a small fee. Also, on TV, the nightly business news program World Business Satellite on Tokyo TV at 11 pm.

@pilipinas
i did? that's nice to know..for a change :)

with regard to business intelligence(BI) and projection, you may not have it now, but eventually you will. as i mentioned in my previous post, you will have to invest some time and effort in learning the ropes...or at least getting a feel of the game you're playing.

the IT ballpark can be one of the dynamic playing fields. with the very rapid advances and turnover in technology and research & development, just trying to keep track of emerging technologies can be very very intimidating; oftentimes frustrating. but it in this process that you get a feel of the hows and whys of things.

yes, your broker will be there to probably guide you along the way. but it would be advantageous to you if you knew beforehand where your guide would be leading you. we wouldn't to get our fingers singed...or burned for that matter. would we?

always remember that chance favors the prepared. so before you jump in, read read and read. invest wisely...never speculate.

here's wishing you good luck :)

Thank you.:D
Yes, that is what I am trying to do as of now, reading, reserching ang studying. But just like what greatbarrier said I might also need one-on-one discussions with the expert. Also, I'll consider Firipinjin's advise, to start it as a hobby, as in small time investment only.

Maraming Salamat sa Inyo!

I will surely have concerns as I continue my research. 'Till then, yoroshiku ne.:p

[PILIPINAS]

You can check out also E-trade (www.etrade.ne.jp).


So, the story about the yuppie is true. I don't have that luck and dedication, yet. He..he.
Btw, can't make an access on that etrade. Thanks.

[Firipinjin]

here, click this www.etrade.ne.jp or www.etrade.com then select location (JP, HK, etc.). With both Rakuten Marketspeed and etrade, you can also buy US stocks aside from local ones.

Thank you.

Mahirap ang masyadong maging "muchu" sa World Cup, almost forgot to look into other threads and share some idea. :)

Noticed this thread and would like to share some info. I have been trying (gambling would also be a valid term here :D ) for quite some time now in stock buying / selling. A couple of years back i got influenced by japanese office mates and been doing so for the experience. Nothing much to write about how my money doubled or trippled, nothing much gained. :(

Iniisip ko na lamang na pinaconvert ko ang pera ko sa stocks para hindi ko magalaw.
Here is a link for comparison of sites/companies (証券) for trading here in Japan. Its better to make trading here dahil mas maganda ang galaw ng japanese stock market.
Click onlintrader (http://www.onlinetrader.jp/) I suggest you pick the one that charge the least commission (取引手数料).

For information about and monitoring of stock prices i often use this. Click yahoo-finance (http://quote.yahoo.co.jp/)

IT related (ソフトバンク is good though medyo mahal per kabu) stocks are still the best buy, in my opinion. Try the smaller companies sa simula.

[PILIPINAS]

I tried reading and understanding all your suggested links. Thank you.

Ako po ay isang baguhan. Sinubukan kong tumingin sa dyaryo kahapon at nalula ang mga mata ko.
Example:

東証１部・２部：　Tokyo　Stock s　Category１・Category ２
Ano po ba ang kaibahan ng category 1 sa 2?

銘柄：セイコ company name
始値：９５５ start price
高値：１０２６ high price
安値：１００３ low price
前比：６２（arrow up) ???????????
出来高：９８３ actual

How do you interpret this? If ever I buy, how much will it be?:confused:
　　

[chris_rock]

start price = the price during the ipo (initial public offering). think of it as the introductory value of the stock when it was initially offered for traiding.

high price = the highest price that the stock has ever been offered for trading

low price = the lowest price that that the stock has been offered for trading

62 or 6.2 may pertain to the percentage increase (arrow up) of the price since it's initial offering (not sure about this)

actual price = this is the prevailing market value of the stock

so if you decide to buy some shares, it's price will be pegged at Y 983 per share for this particular day (plus tax of course). the same way that in the event you want to sell it, taxes are also deducted + the broker/s commission + the prevailing rate of the stock.

hope i made some sense.

[PILIPINAS]

@chris rock

thank you, medyo nakakaron na ako ng sense. based on the initial offering, kumita na ng 28 yen per share, di ba? okay ba ito, o mahina?
bakit nga pala ang actual ay hindi sa loob ng range ng high price and low price? if I like to buy, ano nga pala ang pinaka-minimum number of shares? just a rough estimate will do. :confused: :confused: :(

[chris_rock]

hello again, P...

yup, since it's initial public offering the stock has gained 28 yen from it's origianl price of Y955. mahina is relative kasi; depends if it belongs to what category (utilities, financials, properties, services, etc).

clik this link to view the philippine stock exchange website...http://www.pse.com.ph/

and here is an online stcok trading game on the pse site. this is just a trading simulation for practice. you might to want to check it out.

I see, kyomi shin shin ka sa stock & stock market.

東証１部・２部：　Tokyo　Stock s　Category１・Category ２
Ano po ba ang kaibahan ng category 1 sa 2?

Sa pagkakaalam ko, groupings ito ng Stock market dito sa Japan, obviously naunang mabuo ang 東証１部 at traditional image na matatanda at malalaking company lamang ang nakapasok at nakaoffer for selling/buying ang stocks dito. Dati daw kung mag 上場 ang isang company ng stocks kailangan muna na dumaan ito sa 東証2部 at kapag matatag na ang company tsaka pa lamang mapapabilang sa 東証１部. Kahanay din ng 2 category na iyan ang JASDAQ at iba pa.

始値：９５５ start price

前比：６２（arrow up) ???????????
出来高：９８３ actual
How do you interpret this?

English explanation andun na sa post ni chris.
Meron ka pang ilang important terms na hindi naisama ito yung 終値　(owarine). Closing price usually for the previous trading day or 前日終値. Dito ibinabase yung 前比 kung gaano nagbago. Ito pang 取引値 (torihiki ne) ang important kasi itong ang mismong buying or selling price.
Sa pagpili or pagdecide sa pagbili/benta ng stocks sa palagay ko hindi mo na kailangan "ichi-ichi" tingnan lahat yan. Kailangan mo lang makita yung 3 values sa itaas at makakapag desisyon ka na.

If ever I buy, how much will it be?:confused:
Depende sa torihiki ne at amount ng kabu na bibilhin mo. Ang minimum amount na puedeng mabiling kabu ay depende sa stock at sa trading company(証券) na ginagamit mo. Ang mga kadalasan na unit sa pagbili ng kabu ay 1, 100 at 1000 株, so example 200 yen per share at bumili ka ng 1000 share ang price will be 20,000 yen + commission ng trading company.

[chris_rock]

very good choice! ayala corp. and it's subsidiaries stocks are good all around performers.

Mistake in computation that would ve 200 yen per share for 1000 shares so that would be 200,000 yen (２０万)

[greatbarrier]

Joined the trading simulation for practice. I bought ALI, Ayala Lands Inc. Ummm...:confused:
you're a fast learner pilipinas! or meron ka acumen on this! ALI and all its affiliated companies are one of the best performers in the phil market. in case u don't know, despite the decline in the real estate industry in the philippines, ayala was able to keep its head above the waters!

here in ph, the most active stocks in the market include telecoms, real estate and FIs. in case you're interested, sabihan kita when smart communications (pldt affiliate) go public!

add-on info kahit medyo OT (though related pa rin to your plan of investing in stocks), you might also consider getting insurance plans from insular life. it is the only mutual company in the philippines, meaning the policyholders are considered members of the company, so the plans generate earnings (the equivalent of dividends in stock companies)

and just so you know, the trend in the insurance industry is to demutualize, meaning conversion from being a mutual company to a stock company. so in the event that insular life demutualizes, the policyholders automatically become stockholders. i may have to mention though that insular was originally a stock company and become a mutual company (coz other players were using that business model). now, since the rest demutualized, it's also possible that they will go back to their original set-up, i.e.,being a stock company.

anyway, here's one of the links to some basic info about stock trading, catered to a newbie like you..

@greatbarrier, thanks for the link.

Question about the trading simulation.

Security Name: AYALA LAND, INC.
Lot Size: 100
Last Sale: 11.25
Bid: 11.00
Offer: 11.25

Yesterday I made a transaction.

Side: Buy
Order Type: Limit
Stock: ALI
Volume: 200
Price: 11.25

tama ba ang ginawa ko.
i checked my portfolio today
stock value: Php 0.00
Cash Balance: Php 1,000,000
Net Portfolio Value: Php 1,000,000

Bakit naging ganito?

[chris_rock]

hey P...

seems no transaction took place as your account balance remained unchanged. you might have clicked the wrong button/s?

have you reviewed the guidelines?

to wit...

Trading Hours

Trading shall be conducted according to PSE trading hours:
Pre-open Period - 9:00 am to 9:30 am
Open Period - 9:30 am to 12:00 pm
Run-off Period - 12:00 pm to 12:10 pm
Market Close - 12:10 pm

Order Posting

6. Any order posted by the participant after trading hours shall be held in queue until the next trading day.

Order Matching

1. An order shall be processed for matching only if an actual Exchange trade was executed for that stock. All orders with possible match shall be temporarily held in queue until an actual exchange trade occurs.

3. Limit order: All limit orders shall be executed at the last sale price only if the last sale price is equal or better than the quoted price. (For buying order, a better last sale price is a price lower than the quoted price; for selling order, a better last sale price is a price higher than the quoted price.)

[PILIPINAS]

chris_rock-san, thank you for your patience.
I read the guidelines and perhaps I misunderstood it.
I thought I could transact anytime, at kung hindi man ako umabot ng trading hours, I just have to wait for the next day, para pumasok ang bid ko.
Regarding the limit order, it was stated that "it shall be executed at the last sale price", so I placed 11.25.
About the volume: the lot size value was/is 100. Sa tingin ko maliit so I bought 200.

I know that it is not simple as that. So, I'm reading again.

Pasensya na ha. Good Morning (na pala).:(

[chris_rock]

hello P...

quite alright, no need to thank me for anything. :)

best hours to trade is in the morning. be wary of holidays, moratoriums by any US gov't agency, national crisis (anything dealing with peace and order), and the like. these are stuff you have to consider.

ps...with regard/s to the limit order, it depends if you're buying or you're selling.

balato sa dividends ha :)

Yujin-san,Ngayon ko lang nabasa itong post mo. (I got occupied by trying to get into the simulation game without fully understanding the concept). Your post was very educational indeed. With less theoretical terms, parang ang daling intindihin.:confused :
And you are right, I missed a data. Here's the accurate one:
銘柄：　セイコー
始値：　９５５
高値：　１０２６
安値：　９５５
終値：　１００３
前比：　62
出来高：　９８３

If I try to interpret this, If I like to buy, the price is 983 per share? So, kung ang minimum ay 1000 shares, that will be 983x1000=983,000 yen+++?
Also, 'yung mga companies under the category 2 (東証２部）、are not as stable as from those in category 1.Very interesting.
Yujin, ang daming companies pala dito sa Japan na may stocks. Bukod pa ang ibang mga small companies na hindi enlisted. Nalula talaga ang mga mata ko. Ito ang isang magandang katibiyan na napaka-progresive ng bansang ito. I don't wish to compare, but I happen to glance at our very own Phil. Stock Exchange Com. The number of listed companies with stocks are not even one-forth of the number here in Japan. Making me realize, more and more, how poor our country is. Sad and very pathetic reality. Huh..huh..! Why is the world so unfair? We are also hard-working citizens, not to forget that we also have talents and very competitive in many aspects. Bakit.....Well, I am just thinking aloud again. Thank you, as always.

Oo tama ka, ganyan nga ang magiging computations. Ang payment mo ay depende sa arrangement ng account na hawak mo sa 証券会社 na ginagamit mo. The most common is bank transfer.

Good obeservation.
Regarding sa pagkakahati sa 東証１，２　lately yata ay medyo hindi na ganuon kahigpit ang standard bago makapasok ang stocks ng company sa 東証1. Marami na daw cases lately na from hindi na dumadaan ng 東証２ or JASDAQ.

Hindi ko pa nasilip yung sa PSE website but Japan is not the second largest economy in the world for nothing. Patotoo riyan ang dami ng kompanya na naka-offer sa stock market nila.
At dahil dyan, mas advisable pasukin ang Japan stock market sa pag invest sa stocks , i think you have enough japanese (language) reading and understanding skills para maintindihan ang sistema. :)

[Firipinjin]

Try looking also at the Mothers market in Japan. Listed here are emerging companies which have very good potential to grow. Remember Livedoor? They used to be traded in the Mothers market then went to Jasdaq until the top management screwed up the company last february.

I've heard about Jasdaq, but I've never come across Mothers market. Any hints?

[Firipinjin]

The mothers market is open to speculation so you will have to do your own detective work on that. On another note, you should focus your attention on the value of Yoshinoya D&C. The lifting of the ban on american meat has made good progress recently. Sales are likely to go up for the much awaited Yoshinoya gyudon which relies heavily on american imported meat. Starbucks Japan (traded in the Osaka bourse only) is also a good 'play'.

Only at your most convenient time, kindly share your on-going trading challenges/experiences. Also, it is most likely na walang off-hour order system. May time table silang sinusunod. :confused:

ah...di ko nasubukan yang virtual account ng investopedia. pang US & Canada markets lang yata yan? pang-info ko lang ang investopedia. i was into Japanese and Philippine markets kasi. pati husband ko, nahawa na rin, finally after two years. Chinese market naman siya. (but for practice purposes, pwedeng pwede yan)

but i used to have a virtual forex account. after the trial period, i gained mga 20% lang yata. di kasi ako masyado aggressive. pero stable talaga euro....for now :D

if you're a day-trader, you need to be vigilant, and adept with speculations. yang loss mo, medyo malaki-laki na rin, for a day-trader. but if you're a passive investor, that will pan out in time. the trend is almost always upwards. :)

maganda din pag-aralan ang Chinese market.
