Risk Management: Facing the Bear Market with Confidence

The strongest emotions every person could ever have are fear and greed and it is responsible for burning all the possible profits of a trader.

Yesterday’s Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) closed at 6,884.38 or down by 116.76 points which caused panic and breakdown of some traders who do not have a common trait that all successful people share – RISK MANAGEMENT.

Trading without proper Risk Management can wash away all your hard-earned money or on lighter cases, extreme paper loss in your portfolio and it will leave you with a bad disposition and less confidence. You have to realize that before you trade in the stock market, you should have the following risk management traits every trader should have to protect your trading plan and support your strategy:

1. DUE DILIGENCE

Some of the traders are gaining profit because they are trading what is trending or active for the day – we call it as trend following in the world of stock market. Trend following or trend trading is a strategy which tries to take advantage of any short, medium or long-term moves that play out in various markets. But this kind of technique is risky if you do not have the proper knowledge and trading skills in the first place. It may sound like a broken record, but due diligence will allow you to gain essential information and vet out a possible new investment. As a responsible trader, you may want to follow these steps to give you a balanced overview of the pros and cons of your stock pick, and allow you to make a rational and logical decision:

  • Read disclosures of the company from PSE Edge
  • Be updated about the company’s latest news
  • Monitor Financial Statements and Balance Sheets and asses Valuation Multiples
  • Observe Management and Share Ownership changes
  • Watch and learn from the Stock Price History

2. STOP LOSS

Don’t let your emotions overcome your decision. This is one of the problems of some of the traders and probably the most important aspect of risk management. “What if the market goes up?”, ”It’s a loss why I would sell it?”, “I lost a lot and I can’t go back now” – these are just some of the questions that traders are asking. A disciplined mind is very critical and having a stop loss let’s you take a manageable loss as compared to bigger ones. Limit the losses before it goes deeper. It lets you live to fight another day.

3. PROFIT TAKING

If you feeling greedy during your stock plays, the possibility of losing your supposed-to-be gains are at 100%. Why? Because you’re so eager to have a higher profit. It is like playing in the casino. When you won, that covetous part of human nature will tell you to stay for one more round and instead of taking home your gains, you play even more and hope that you will win over the coming games but often times, it will only bring you back to where you started – at zero profit standpoint. How to prevent this scenario? Set your take-profit (TP) order and don’t trade with your emotions. Trade with your head, not your heart.

4. POSITION SIZING

Position sizing is a part of your trading system that covers “how much” you wanted to trade at a particular time or scenario and determine the part of your overall account value that you will allocate to one trade. This system lets you not over-bet or under bet on a trade. It is essential to risk a certain percentage of your account on each trade. Never ever gamble more than you initially wanted to risk. It’s a matter of discipline that values your capital preservation.

5. EMOTIONAL CONTROL

When trading, the last thing you would ever associate with is human emotions. It is without a doubt this is the final component of our risk management traits and must be discussed. Simply put, if you don’t control your emotions every time you trade, then I assure you that you will do something that you might regret for the rest of your life and worst case scenario – wipe away all your equity.

According to financial columnist Jason Zweig, “Many of the world’s best investors have mastered the art of treating their own feelings as reverse indicators,” and we can only hope that you apply this too to protect yourself from sinking the edge. You need to know what are your own biases and shortcomings so that you can learn to avoid them.

Life is going to be difficult at times especially during the bear market, but is it really that bad? Maybe we could think about it the other way – it is the challenges we face that make us grow.

Take life head-on and gear up with your risk management strategies with confidence because your most significant accomplishments will come from overcoming the tough times ahead.

Inflation 101: Ano Ang Magagawa Mo?

Hot chilli peppers in basket

Ano nga ba talaga ang inflation rate?

Lahat na ata ng tao alam ang inflation rate dahil kahit saan makikita mo ang issue ng inflation rate dito sa Pilipinas. TV, Newspaper, Social Media (especially Facebook), Office, Schools and etc. Isa to sa mga major issues sa Pilipinas. Bakit nga ba ito naging issue? 6.7% ang current inflation rate ng Philippines (September 2018). Compare to 2.9% of 2017 it is really high. Ngunit ito na ba ang pinakamataas na inflation rate?

If we will compare the 6.4% inflation rate to 60+% inflation rate in late 1980s is it still bad? Diba, hindi na masama? Kung ganyan pa lang ang ating inflation rate as of today, ano pa ang magiging reaction mo kung ikaw yung nasa kalagayan ng mga tao noong 1980s?

Why our inflation rate is high?

Ang inflation rate ay pinaghalong international and domestic factors. Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mataas ang ating inflation rate ay dahil na sa “Oil”. Dahil wala tayong sariling production ng oil, lahat ng oil ay import galing sa ibang bansa at dahil din dito Philippines are forced to import oil. Isa pang factor nito ang “Weak Peso”. At dahil sa lahat ng mga import goods ang pinang babayad natin ay foreign currencies mas mataas ang nagiging cost dahil mahina ang peso. Isa sa mga domestic factor ay ang “Bigas”. But not only rice, by the way. Vegetables, Fish, Sugary Foods, and Corns. There are so many effect of the rapidly rising inflation rate so why don’t we start our own investments. Let us learn to have another source of income so our hard-earned money will not be put into waste because of this issue.

What are the effects of inflation rate to different class Filipinos?

It all affects us especially those who are minimum wage earner. Kung may 100 pesos ka ano na lang ang halaga nito? 93.6 pesos to be exact. What if kung ang sweldo mo ay 20,000 per month, ang halaga na lang nito ay 18,720. Sobrang laking bagay nung nawalang pera sayo ng wala naman pinupuntahan. Pare-parehas lang naman ng effect sa mga Filipino pero iba ang nagiging solution ng mga tao. Bakit ba sa bank nag iinvest ang karamihan sa mga Filipino kahit na ang liit liit na ng interest rate? Takot kasi tayo na magtake ng risk, pero hahayaan mo na lang bang talunin ka ng takot mo? Hindi ka magfoforward kung matatakot ka lagi.

Take the risk!

If hindi ka aalis sa comfort zone mo di ka din magfo-forward? For example ang comfort zone mo ay sa loob ng bahay nyo, bakit ka lumalabas? Hindi ka naman kasi mabubuhay kung di ka magwowork.

So instead of blaming the government why don’t you try to do some actions? TRY TO INVEST? TAKE THAT RISK!

If you will not try you will not know. Walang nag umpisa sa stock market ng hindi nalugi or nagkaron ng loss. If you fail wag matakot sumubok ulit but this time different process na or different strategies. Ang mali kasi satin we keep on expecting different outcomes but still doing the same strategies. We even emphasize the issue about the chili pepper or ‘sili’ na nag-viral recently imbes na maghanap tayo ng paraan paano mao-overcome ang ganitong scenario sa bansa.

Hanggang saan ang kailangan kong maging income para hindi ko na mapansin ang inflation rate? Yan dapat ang way of thinking natin. Dahil sa pag-blame mo sa government nauubos na ang oras mo. Why don’t you use your time in learning the stocks market.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” ~ Albert Einstein

In failures you will learn so much.

Don’t look at the inflation rate as a burden but instead, use it as you inspiration.

Get Out of the Rat Race and Pay Yourself First

Ilang taon na rin ang nakakalipas simula ng magtrabaho ako after graduation. I was a rising employee sabi nga ng boss ko. Dahil Developer tayo, maraming deadlines kaya laging overtime pero siyempre kasama na din diyan ang pakitang gilas. Bibo tayo dati eh! I sacrificed my life pati yung buhay pamilya ko makamit ko lang yung inaasahang promotion at mataas na sweldo.

Gigising ng maaga tapos magbbyahe ng isa o dalawang oras depende pa yan sa traffic, pero minsan kapag minalas ka, sira pa LRT, o di kaya, pang sampung batch ka na bago ka makasakay. Imbes na fresh ka pupunta sa work, mukha kang nalantang gulay at di naligo ng tatlong araw!

Yan ang mga bagay kung bakit madalas na akong mastress sa trabaho, tapos lagi pang nag-aaya sa labas mga tropa ko. Gastos dito, gastos don. Peer pressure! Paulit-ulit na lang ang cycle ng buhay ko at yung mga dapat sana na inipon ko na lang sa bangko, napunta lang sa wala.

Hindi naman ako mayaman, #feelingrich lang. Akala ko kasi, kapag may sweldo ka buwan buwan at konting ipon sa bangko na minsan eh nababawasan pa, okay na.

Ako ang ‘The Living Legend’ ng rat race story ni Robert Kiyosaki.

Alam mo bang dumating na din ako sa punto na na-experience ang tinatawag ng mga henyo na ‘mid-life crisis’, totoo pala yon. May mga hinahanap ako sa buhay na hindi ko na alam kung ano.

Until one day, I accidentally saw my high school friend somewhere in Pasig and with the usual gesture, napa-kape kami sa Starbucks, ako pa nanlibre. (Yamanin diba?) Nagtanong siya kung malaki daw ba sweldo ko. Ang malupit don, he even asked me “Do you know how to invest? Ang stocks hawak mo ngayon?” Natawa ko e, sabi ko “Bro, kape kape lang tayo, walang networking!” Dahil I have zero knowledge when it comes to investing, sinabi ko sa kanya na baka pang-mayaman lang yon. Well of course, I asked a few questions until that questions became a small training with him about investing in Philippine Stock Market.

I was lucky enough to have a friend na dedicated tumulong at ipaintindi sa kin and mundo ng merkado. He taught me how things work, how to start in investing and how to make my money grow. He also taught me how to open my account sa Investagrams so I could practice trading bago sumabak sa totoong laban. Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig dahil sa edad kong to, ngayon ko lang nalaman ang ganitong mga bagay at nagkainteres kung pano i-value ang hard-earned salary ko.

Fast forward today, nagkaron na ng meaning ang buhay ko (Naks, parang Hows of Us moment lang nila Kathniel!). Malaking pagbabago ang nangyari, nabawasan na ang after-work parties, I allocated time to study more about investing in stock market at madalas ko na uli makasama ang pamilya ko. I’m no longer living paycheck to paycheck, and instead of splurging everything, kasama na sa budget ko ang savings and investment.

‘Pay yourself first’ – a cardinal rule to discipline yourself towards your future goals and financial freedom.

Develop the skills and the right mindset necessary.

Yan lang ang dapat mo gawin at paulit ulit na panghawakan, sabi nga nila, don’t give up. Change how you think and you’ll change the results.

Naka-relate ka ba? Kung oo, I hope my story could help to open your eyes and treat this as perfect time to change. Hindi naman mahirap mag-invest, dedikasyon at yung WHYs mo lang ang kailangan mo to shift your mindset and improve your life for the better.

Salamat sa pakikinig kaibigan,

Simple yet Powerful Stock Market Strategies for Wealth Building

You probably already know that the stock market is a great source of wealth. After all, it has created millionaires out of ordinary individuals, and it’s also where your banks, fund managers, insurance companies and even pension providers grow your money. However, you probably (or should) also know that it comes with risks, but is that alone a good reason to not invest? Are you actually safer financially if you didn’t invest your hard-earned money in places like the stock market?

“In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” –  Mark Zuckerberg, Founder & CEO of Facebook

Here’s the reality – kahit wala kang ginagawa, nababawasan yung totoong purchasing power ng pera mo kasi tumataas ang presyo ng lahat ng bilihin. With inflation spiking to as high as 6.4% and the interest we get for our savings at 0.25% – 0.50%, the glaring reality is that we are losing money just by leaving ALL of it in our savings.

Here are some of the simple yet powerful ways the stock market can generate wealth for you, and what you’re probably missing out on if you haven’t started investing!

CO-OWN AND GROW UP WITH THE COMPANIES

Companies don’t grow overnight. The Pinoy-favorite Jollibee ($JFC) started as an ice cream parlor in Quezon City in 1975, listed its shares for the first time at P9/share, and is now a global fastfood chain with stocks worth P270/share. Kung ginamit mo yung P10,000 mo to buy 1,000 shares at P10 each, that investment could have grown to ~P257,000 if you held onto the stock for over 2 decades. Imagine the huge potential if you set aside P10,000 every month to buy even more shares of the company!

But this story is old news. The truth is, none of us are time travelers; there’s no guarantee in knowing who will be the winners in 3, 5 or even 10 years from now. Otherwise, we’d all be rich! So it’s important to know the growth plans of the company. At present, we have the likes of Wilcon Depot ($WLCON) who is planning 24 new stores by 2020, from its 41 home depots in 2017. DoubleDragon Properties ($DD) plans to grow its leasable space by 3.7x to 1,200sq.m. in 2020. Ayala Land ($ALI) plans P40bn net earnings from real estate sales & rentals by 2020, from P25bn in 2017. These are only some among hundreds of listed companies with a vision to grow their business, so DON’T MISS OUT on the chance to ride alongside their growth!

COMPOUNDING DIVIDENDS

Another perk of growing up with companies is you get dividends, or a portion of their earnings. Re-invest the dividends you earn to buy more shares of the company (a.k.a Compounding), your P100k investment could grow to P320,714 in 20 years, assuming the company gives an annual dividend yield of 6%. That’s already worth a decent school tuition, if you plan to have kids!

Just this 2018, Globe ($GLO) has declared P91 in dividends per share, to be given in tranches. Semirara Mining Company ($SCC)’s dividend policy is 20% of prior year’s net income (attributable to common shareholders), while Pilipinas Shell ($SHLPH) intends to give out 70%. While dividend policies can still change depending on the company’s needs for expansion, growing up with companies that consistently declare dividends means that while you wait, you’re slowly getting returns for your investment.

BARGAIN-HUNTING

Bilhin mo nang mura, benta mo nang mahal. It’s what dealers and vendors do when they buy from cheap suppliers like Quiapo or Divisoria, and that’s essentially what Bargain-Hunting or Value Investing is about. Pero sa stock market, hindi mo kailangan umalis ng bahay para maghanap ng deals. You just need your laptop/smartphone, steady internet, and the willingness to learn the process.

An example of a cheap stock right now is First Gen ($FGEN), a provider of renewable energy and clean fuel. Its stock was beaten down heavily from its peak of P30/share back in 2015 to around P16/share as of writing. PLDT Inc. ($TEL) might also be a good example of a heavily beaten stock ever since news of a 3rd telco player threatened its market leadership, bringing its share price down from ~P3,100 in 2015 to < P1,500. While there’s no absolute guarantee that they will be able to recover, we do think renewable energy is an inevitable trend and despite our complaints with internet speed, you can’t get rid of PLDT so easily, so watch out for these and other bargains out there!

THE GAP

At this point you might wonder, ‘If the stock market presents a lot of profitable opportunities, why aren’t many Filipinos richer?’

Financial literacy still has a lot of catching up to do, given that there’s still a prevailing misconception that you are financially safe by avoiding any form of risk. Less than 1% of Filipinos are invested in the stock market, and we need your help in spreading its importance in empowering more Filipinos to take charge of their own finances. That is the mission of 2TradeAsia, who strives to make the investing experience easier and more digestible for everyone. Aside from a fast, seamless and reliable investing platform, they also offer actionable walkthroughs and step-by-step tutorials for those who are willing to learn the ropes on being their own fund manager.

Journaling your way to Profits

Let me begin with a Story. Please bear with me.

“Noong Unang Panahon, mayroong Apat na magkababatang mga Traders.
Dahil Confidential, itago nalang natin sila sa mga Pangalang Bayap, Nokat, Jornalyn, at Narry G.”


“Isang araw, nagkita ang magkaibang Bayap at Nokat sa may pala-isdaan.”

Bayap : Pareng Nokat, Pareng Nokat. Bakit mo Binili yung mga Stock mo, eh ang papangit lahat namumula.

Nokat : Ha? Alam mo ba sa talangbuhay ko… sa Anim napu’t walong taon na pag-Ttrade ko eh ikaw palang ang nag sabi sakin niyan.Simple lang ang Strategy ko, basta nag cross na ang kwan, eh ibig sabihin Buy na Yan.

Kapag bumaba pa yan, ibebenta ko yung ibang ari-arian ko para makabili pa ko ng mas marami. No Cutloss, No Problem. Long Term Trader ako Bayap, Long Term Trader.

Bayap : Sixty Eight Years ka jan, eh Bente Siyete palang tayo. Isa pa malulugi ka lang jan sa style mo bakit hindi mo
nalang ako gayahin? Turuan kita, libre lang!

Nokat : Pareng Bayap, no Offense ha pero wala akong plano bumili ng Mahal na Stock. Hindi ako bilib jan sa Stock mong masyado ng mataas. Naalala mo dati, noong bumili ka, kinabukasan bumagsak hanggang ilalim ng lupa?

Bayap : Minamaliit mo ba ang ginagawa ko? Alam mo bang konting konti nalang, makakabawi narin yung Port ko? Eh kung itulak kaya kita jan?

Nokat : Ayokong makipagtalo sayo, mabuti pa, magtanong nalang tayo. Naalala mo ba si Jornalyn?

Bayap : Sino ba naman ang makakalimot kay Jornalyn. Maganda. Simple. Matalino. Kaya ang dami niyang Investagrams Followers eh. Isa ako sa mga Taga-Hanga niya.

Ganito nalang Nokat, puntahan natin siya at itanong natin kung ano nga ba talaga, sino nga ba talaga satin ang Tama.

~Patuloy lang ang pagkkwento ni Bayap ng mga alam niya tungkol kay Jornalyn.

“After awhile, nag-Decide na ang Dalawa na Puntahan si Jornalyn malapit sa Coffee Shop.”

Agad naman silang nakilala nito.

Jornalyn : Oh Bayap, Nokat. Long Time No See!! Kamusta kayo?

Bayap : Eto, umaasa parin.

Jornalyn : Umaasa?

Bayap : Umaasang mabigyan mo ng kasagutan, ang aming mga katanungan.

Nokat : Ganito kasi yan, nagtatalo kasi kami nitong ni Bayap. Gusto talaga naming malaman kung ano ba ang mas Magandang Strategy sa Pag-Ttrade nitong Stock Market.

Alam namin na mas bihasa at active ka dito kaya ikaw na yung gusto naming tanungin.

Jornalyn : Ganun ba? Sige, pero bago ang lahat. Sagutin niyo muna itong mga tanong ko: Kailan niyo Naisipan at Nasabing “Ah eto, eto na talaga yung Sistemang Para sa akin.”? at Paano niyo nalaman yung Effectiveness nito?

Bayap : Natutunan ko yan 3 years ago. Nang bumili ako nung isang Stock, tumaas ito. Umabot ng 150% yung kinita ko kaya naisipan kong magbenta dahil baka bumagsak pa at madami ding Nag-Tataasang Stock ng mga panahong yon.

Only to find out na makalipas ang Tatlong Buwan. Yung Binenta kong Stock, tumaas pa pala 1500% since that day na binenta ko. That’s the time na nag Decide ako na Hinding Hindi na ko magbebenta ng mga binili kong Stocks kahit malaki na ang Kita ko dito.

Lumipas pa ang mga Buwan, pero sa totoo lang, imbis na tumaas yung mga Stock na hawak ko. Lagi nalang nagbababaan, a Day after ko mamili.

Nokat : Yung akin naman, natutunan ko sa Lolo ko. Ang sabi niya kasi sakin, hangga’t may shares ka, okay ka hijo. Walang Kumpanya ang gustong malugi sila. Kinapitan ko naman yung mga sinabi niya kahit minsan ang sakit sakit na.. napakatagal ko ng Hawak itong mga Alaga kong Stocks.

No Cutloss, No problem ang Motto niya. Gusto lang talaga namin malaman, Anong Stocks nga ba ang Magandang Bilhin. Yung Pataas o Yung Pababa?

Jornalyn : Alam niyo, it doesn’t matter if a STOCK goes up, down, sideways, o magpa-ikot ikot. IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD TRADER, YOU CAN’T LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE STRATEGY, kahit ang tingin mo pa jan ay the BEST SYSTEM.

1. A Good Trader not only knows kung kailan nasa kanya ang Favor ng Market, he/she knows HOW TO ACT ON IT.

2. He/She constantly develop and improve yung mga Strategy na ginagamit niya.

3. They are ready and willing to Unlearn Things. It doesn’t matter kung sino pa ang Nagturo sa kanila nito. If it’s not effective, they remove it.

How’d they know kung Effective ba ito o Hindi?

They BUILD it, they TEST it, if it’s GOOD, they do their Best to IMPROVE it.

pero kung hindi ito gumana, they THROW IT AWAY.

You’ve heard that right.

They Test and Improve their Strategies overtime because the KEY to succeed in the Stock Market… It’s not the SECRET INDICATOR, it’s not the amount of TIME YOU PUT IN, and it’s not HOW DEEP YOUR WALLET IS.

It’s the SKILL to continuously improve your System no matter how much you believe in it.

Yung paulit ulit na pag-Basag mo sa Sistemang nakasanayan mo until makuha mo yung Cream of the Crop. The Best of the Bests for your PROFILE. Not one time, but continously until that day na Okay ka na at handa ka na mag-Retire from Trading.

The market evolves and you should evolve with it.


Pero paano nga ba ma-Improve yung GEARS and STRATEGIES?

It’s by RECORDING your Trades.

By doing this, you get to see your Trading Strategy better.

It’s like going to a high place just to have a broader perspective, titigan mo from that angle yung mga PAST Trades mo.

Which of these Trades made me the MOST MONEY?

Which of these Trades made me the MOST MONEY, consistently?

Magkaiba ‘yung nagbigay sayo ng Malaking Profit, at yung consistently nagbibigay sa iyo ng Malaking Profit.

Not only that, it will also help you ASSESS your MISTAKES. Dahil ang mga Mistakes, hindi dapat bini-BABY. If you really want to WIN in this Industry, you’ll have to Improve your Strengths and Fix your Weaknesses.

Most Traders overlooked these things.
They don’t realize na yung Konting Mali can actually cause a Big Impact in their Trading.

“HOW to start, gusto ko yan!”

If before, Traders have to write their Trades Manually on a Notebook kada araw just to see how their strategies perform.

This time, they can focus more time on developing their strategies! A much better way to Record your Trades is finally Available!

It’s called Investa Journal. Ano nga ba ito? (click the image below to see how this feature can help you in your Trading Journey.)

There are FOUR Kinds of Traders in the Stock Market.


Yung UNANG grupo (mga kagaya ni Bayap, repeat… BAY AP), these are the type of Traders na kapag may makitang Tumataas na Stock, eh bibili na. They are Hoping na Tataas pa yung Stock nila ng 1000% everytime.

Yung PANGALAWANG grupo naman (mga kagaya ni Nokat, forever hold, Nokat), they Trust their Stock so much or should I say yung analysis nila of that Stock.

Sometimes, we think na just because bumababa yung Stock, CHEAP na ito. We lay down the things na alam na sana natin. Our knowledge of the PRICE, the VOLUME, the Indicators, the Cutloss levels… The only thing we can’t let go is our EGO. Mali yung mga TAO, hindi nila nakikita yung Value nitong Stock na ito..

The THIRD Group (yung mga kagaya ni Jornalyn). These are the Traders who backed their Strategies/Systems with Data. They love improvements. Kung may butas sa System nila, they fix it right a way. They don’t wait until maubos yung Capital nila before they do something about the Leak. They are not PERFECT dahil kadalasan.. SILA yung mga dati nang nasaktan and ayaw na nilang balikan yung nakaraan, that’s why they want to create a better FUTURE.

Now, more calculated and more data-driven for them to have BETTER ODDS OF SUCCESS.

Malamang nagtataka kayo kung bakit wala yung FOURTH Group.
They’re so BUSY bashing Stocks, Ideas, etc. They don’t have TIME to Trade. Kaya wala sila dito.
