Stock Investing - Philippines

If we talk about stock market many people find this complicated.  Since 1997, I wanted to start investing in stocks.  Honestly, I do not know how to start it, it took nine years before I find myself in the play, I mean investing in stocks.  Here are the simple ways to do it.

1.  Open a bank account in any bank of your choice.  Online banking is recommended like MBT, BDO, BPI, and more.  Be sure to have your online banking activated and take care of your password.

2.  Open an account to any broker.  Firstmetrosec, Bpitrade, COL Financial, Macquarie, CLSA, DBP, etc.  The opening in the broker is not complicated, example, in Firstmetrosec, you can fill out the application online in their website.  Be sure to make a follow up so your papers will be processed asap.  I recommend online brokerage firm for simplicity, convenience and lesser commission and other fees.

3.  Funding issues can be done through electronic transfer, from your bank account to your broker accounts.  BPI to Bpitrade, MBT to Firstmetrosec or MBT to COL Financial, there are many ways to do it.

4.  How much money you need?  Many were overwhelmed by the amount of money needed to start stock investing.  Depending on your broker, you may start from P5,000 to P100,000, COL Financial let you start with P25k, Firstmetrosec - you can start @ 5k but 10k as start would be better.

5.  Buying and selling, this activity is being done online, simply shopping online but the items are stocks listed in Philippine Stock Exchange.
