A Beginner’s Guide to Investing in 2015

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - Tired of relying solely on your paycheck (or your relatives) for your day-to-day needs? The moment you enter the workforce, your new priority should be achieving financial independence. And unless you’re 100% happy with your current industry and earning potential, living from paycheck to paycheck for years on end can lose its appeal. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcMHqm06KN84RK2sH6azC2kFdPYUOmhEc2Sb3iq40NzEO70B45R-OxFlMSwbJZbWxdEg9uUppNYcmhG0jH99oVR0k-cfNsU9oTLuYQlkUUpVgcu4HR5AQ0dn7XEwOdPe83F5H1uhwzN1Fk/s1600/Investment-2015-philippines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Beginner’s Guide to Investing in 2015" border="0" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcMHqm06KN84RK2sH6azC2kFdPYUOmhEc2Sb3iq40NzEO70B45R-OxFlMSwbJZbWxdEg9uUppNYcmhG0jH99oVR0k-cfNsU9oTLuYQlkUUpVgcu4HR5AQ0dn7XEwOdPe83F5H1uhwzN1Fk/s1600/Investment-2015-philippines.jpg" title="A Beginner’s Guide to Investing in 2015" width="560" /></a></div> If you’re really serious about growing your money, you might be thinking of dabbling in investments. The Philippine Stock Exchange has been operating since the early 20th century, after all, and dozens of traders have already made a mint there. If they can do it, why can’t you? Before you withdraw your life savings and head down to the trading floor, though, there are a few basic tips you need to take to heart first. Here is our newbie-friendly guide to investing this 2015: 1. Ask yourself if you’re ready. Investing can be a great way to bolster your net worth, but the truth remains that’s it’s not for everybody. First off, you need to have all of your basic finances in order before you consider dipping your toes in the stock market. That means having a stable source of income, little to no debt, an emergency fund, and enough cashflow to support your basic needs without compromising assets like your mortgage, healthcare, or <a href="http://www.moneymax.ph/car-insurance" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">car insurance policy</a>. Even if you’re in a good place money-wise, look into other viable alternatives like mutual funds or securities first before diving into investments. 2. Learn the basics. Think you’re ready to take that leap? The next step in your financial education is learning the essentials of good investing. Familiarize yourself with investor terminology and keep up with business news. Do your research on current business trends and investor behaviors. Take your time and don’t act like a know-it-all; ideally, you should have just enough working knowledge of the market to be able to tell the safe investment decisions from the risky ones. It might also be a good idea to consult an investment expert. 3. Set a doable goal. Since you’re still starting out, it’s best you don’t aim too high as far as your future investments are concerned. We’re not saying it’s wrong to dream of becoming the next Henry Sy or Jaime Zobel de Ayala, but aiming for a more realistic goal (like earning enough for your retirement or your children’s future) means you have less heartache to deal with should one of your investments go bad. 4. Start small. This is the stage where you start building your investment portfolio, a.k.a. the key to your future wealth. You could start by investing a fraction of your income in an established company or a “safe” market like commodities or forex trading. Once you’ve gained more confidence in your investing abilities, inch your way into investing more money or adding another company (or two) to your portfolio. Remember that you’ll be juggling a lot of risk at this point, and that you’re not investing for the sake of making a quick buck. 5. Diversify your portfolio. While maintaining your various stocks, remember that one of your main driving forces is protecting yourself from the effects of inflation. What may look like a large sum of money now may have less purchasing power years or decades down the line. Try your hand at investing in stocks from several different industries as backup in case of drastic changes in the economy. Or, to put it in more popular terms, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. An important bit of information many financial experts recommend is to <a href="http://youngpinoymillionaire.com/5-tips-consider-make-investing-decisions/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">never invest in something you don’t understand</a>. You may get tons of investing advice from friends, family, and other self-professed experts on how best to maximize your gains. Even if you trust their judgment, you must never jump at an opportunity without knowing exactly what you’re signing up for. Investing is ultimately a game of risk, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution that would make everybody a stock market superstar. What worked for the richest trader on the Fortune 500 may not work for you, so you should resist the temptation to slack off or take shortcuts. It’s your money at stake, after all.

ABS-CBN wins TV ratings game vs GMA-7 in January 2015

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - The country's biggest television network ABS-CBN wins January 2015 ratings game as it remains the most watched TV network with an average national audience share of 42%, or six points higher compared to GMA-7's 36%, based on data from Kantar Media. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPRq93_SSjuLytQI8ajNsP0AE90FgfD0UwVcwxRhE4yNkjSFpBMtC6JNGQt0qUN3BDT3Lszv1RlbtbRuiYWSPEUYYmr9ph0yoTPjWgMtuA8WpMMrBb6Hwy9OvyhH_yFqAQWG6F-hk79MC/s1600/January-TV-ratings_abs-cbngma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="ABS-CBN wins TV ratings game vs GMA-7 in January 2015" border="0" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDPRq93_SSjuLytQI8ajNsP0AE90FgfD0UwVcwxRhE4yNkjSFpBMtC6JNGQt0qUN3BDT3Lszv1RlbtbRuiYWSPEUYYmr9ph0yoTPjWgMtuA8WpMMrBb6Hwy9OvyhH_yFqAQWG6F-hk79MC/s1600/January-TV-ratings_abs-cbngma.jpg" title="ABS-CBN wins TV ratings game vs GMA-7 in January 2015" width="560" /></a></div> Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,609 in urban and rural homes that represent 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population, while the other ratings data supplier AGB Nielsen reportedly has only 1,980 homes based solely in urban areas that represent only 57% of the Philippine TV viewing population. Kantar said that ABS-CN continues its lead in key territories such as Balance Luzon (all areas in Luzon outside Mega Manila) where it got an average total day audience share of 45%, in the Visayas with 56%, and Mindanao with 48%. GMA, on the other hand, garnered 36%, 26%, and 31%, respectively. ABS-CBN continues its stronghold in the primetime (6PM-12MN) block with an average audience share of 47%, or 14 points higher than GMA (33%). The primetime block is the most important part of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers effectively. The supremacy of Kapamilya network’s Primetime Bida was strengthened by its top-caliber drama series such as “Dream Dad” (25.8%), “Forevermore” (24%), and “Two Wives” (18.9%). Also reigning in the hearts of TV viewers was ABS-CBN’s special coverage of Pope Francis’ visit last January 15-19. “Thank You sa Malasakit: Pope Francis sa Pilipinas” got an average national TV rating of 13.2%, which is greater than GMA’s “Ang People’s Pope sa Pilipinas: A GMA News Special Coverage” (10.9%). The Kapamilya network’s live coverage of the 63rd Miss Universe beauty pageant also won in the ratings game with a national TV rating of 16.8%. Meanwhile, ABS-CBN’s newest feel-good daytime TV series “Oh My G” was off to a good start as the Janella Salvador-starrer scored an average national TV rating of 14.4%, compared to its rival program on GMA “The Ryzza Mae Show” (7.5%). Also included in the top 10 programs in the country for January are “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (25.5%), “TV Patrol” (23.7%), “Rated K” (22.2%), “Home Sweetie Home” (21.9%), “Wansapanataym” (21.8%), “The Voice of the Philippines” (20.7%), and “Mga Kwento Ni Marc Logan” (18.9%). Kantar Media is a leading television (TV) audience measurement provider with capabilities in gathering TV viewing data in both digital and analog platforms. It is a multinational market research group that specializes in audience measurement in more than 80 countries, has 26 TV networks, ad agencies, and pan-regional networks subscribing to its ratings services.

Various reports gathered by TheSummitExpress reveals the organization has a promise to give money as high as one milion pesos from Marcos' Swiss account. Sources said that the community, which started operation in 2014 targets 11 million people to file applications for 'free' to be done in the mountainous area of Rizal. Those who have joined the organization will then wait for the cash card release and the alleged share from Marcos wealth to be deposited through CTBC Bank. However, the CTBC Bank of the Philippines in December 2014 officially released statement on FEM Community activities. "It has come to our attention that there are certain individuals claiming to be connected with 'FEM Community' (Ferdinand E. Marcos Community) who are allegedly distributing CTBC Bank Cash Card application forms and collecting fees to avail of the Bank's ATM or cash card product," CTBC said. The CTBC Bank urges the public not to give or send money to these alleged individuals or groups and reiterates that it does not authorize anyone to solicit money or collect cash-out fees or payments to avail of its ATM, cash cards and other products and services. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbihkLuh4x8VORkzmKMLNYgzyXYysXfC8P4Us1rmsa6UJmx0ReDkKjfnAmUOftctKkcqvUOLbdbzho-lXSA7QvDlP6ioW1NPOTW04H-CZWys7p4Epq7wWb_ncNOi67pkfGw1EqMdMrwgO2/s1600/CTBC-on-FEM-Community1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="CTBC Bank on FEM Community" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbihkLuh4x8VORkzmKMLNYgzyXYysXfC8P4Us1rmsa6UJmx0ReDkKjfnAmUOftctKkcqvUOLbdbzho-lXSA7QvDlP6ioW1NPOTW04H-CZWys7p4Epq7wWb_ncNOi67pkfGw1EqMdMrwgO2/s1600/CTBC-on-FEM-Community1.jpg" title="CTBC Bank on FEM Community" width="600" /></a></div> Aside from 'FEM', CTBC also informed it has no contractual dealings with other groups with similar activities such as Fullhouse Multi-Purpose Cooperative and Our Lady of Triumph for Indigenous People Consumers Cooperative. Meanwhile, some netizens challenged FEM to show their documents to prove their existence and legality. A quick check from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website reveals that the organization is not on the list of registered or reserved companies. As of press time, the authority is yet to issue statement and provide legal actions to answer queries of Filipinos if FEM Community is legit or scam?</div>

No one, including the host, knows what amounts are in the cases. Each contestant receives a new, randomly assigned set of cases. The prizes range in amounts from PHP1 to PHP2,000,000. The first Philippine franchise has started airing on June 5, 2006 on ABS-CBN with actress-host Kris Aquino hosted the game.</div>
