The Market Is Down, Shouldn’t I Be Investing More?

I should have a long term outlook for my investments, but could consider realizing some short term gains
The conservative investor in me says that:

Another Missed Opportunity
First Metro (my online stock trading broker) has announced that Ayala Corp. Preferred Class “A” Shares are being offered at P500.00 per share at a fixed dividend rate of 8.88% per annum. I am not familiar how this works. All I know is that an annual dividend rate of 8.88% is quite high (especially when [...]
Savings Plan For 2009
Looking back on my goals posted on the first entry of this blog, it seems I failed miserably on item #1. This was mostly because of items #4 (I bought a MacBook) and #5, in which I invested all my potential savings into the stock market. A portion of my online income also went down [...]
Cash Is King
I never thought I would say this but I found it to be true. Having cash when needed would have generated passive income or savings from my gadget lust.

Personal Finance Software For Mac
Less than a year after I started working, I realized that I had to take control of my finances. Or else, I might not be able to get out of the rat race. So I decided to use a personal finance software to track my finances. Back in the day, I only had my smartphone [...]
What I Did With $100
Last month, I blogged about winning $100 cash from a raffle and asked what would you do with it. Not that I don’t know what to do with it, but I wanted to know what other people would do with a surprise or unexpected income. As expected, the top two options that were suggested are [...]
What Would You Do With $100 Cash?
Thanks to Ms. Janette and the people behind the Influential Blogger 2008. Because of them and a little wink from lady luck, Random.org made me a raffle winner and now I am $100 richer. I thought they would send the prize via PayPal. But to my surprise, they gave it in cold cash. I would [...]
