Image via WikipediaHappy easter everyone. What a nice long weekend we had, huh?

I waited for Tue to come so as my 1st post after the holy week break would be the latest PH stocks update. So here goes. Again, briefly and in bullet points:



LATEST PH STOCKS UPDATE:

• The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index gained 56.6 points or 1.32 percent to finish at 4,331.37.
• Services led the day's upswing, rising by 2.3 percent 
• Financial, property and mining/oil counters all went up by over 1 percent.
• There were 96 advancers as against 46 decliners while 23 stocks were unchanged.
• Gainers: PLDT, AGI, First Gen, Megaworld, Lepanto A, Metrobank, AEV, URC, Philex, EDC, Metro Pacific Investments, FLI and FPH led the index higher. Non-index stocks Lopez Holdings and Digitel also gained on heavy volume.
• DMCI, Semirara, Manila Water, Aboitiz Power and Jollibee traded lower.

Very very god news still, i must say. Over-all, the country gained. So there really is no reason for investors for corporations in the red to panic. We're good. Relax.

My take:

I'm looking at my personal investments as getting stronger. I am very much satisfied. I'm confident my chosen corporations shall have me bringing home the bacon  one day.

Economic Survival Tips

Surviving the times: Tips for the young Filipino reader:

My personal idols and financial gurus, in all their books and speeches say it is when you need not work anymore (hence, no need for active income), and your passive income already suffices your daily expenses that you will be considered financially free and out of the rat race.

Wealth however, according to a lot of these gurus, “is a state of mind”. True happiness usually follows true wealth.

But we are in the Philippines, a third world country. What do the terms being wealthy and  financially free mean to someone with an empty stomach?

saving for an emergency

For a lot of us in the Philippines, everyday is an emergency.

Let me relate that to this true story:

Just last Christmas, a generous kin handed me and my 2 brothers each a cash gift of P8,000. This amount in this country is equivalent to a minimum wage earner's one month salary, gross. So just imagine how we must have felt.

Almost immediately, i asked my brothers what they intend to do with the amount. Both said they're keeping it "for emergency".
