The No.1 Investment Mistake You Do on or before 2009

[lorenzoleo]

---

stocks is someway a gamble gehapon kay you really don't know or can't tell if mukita ba ang imung ge invest nga stock.. i don't really now much about stock market kay i don't really invest in it kay we lost 8.5million in investing stock market that's why i can't say na mura ra cya ug gambling.. we really learn our lesson dira that's why, we don't invest so much in stocks but in realty and businesses nalang.. besides, now a days, i don't think nindot kaau i invest ug stock market karon because dili pa kaau stable ang economy.. that's my opinion lang...

Now is the best time to buy stocks. It's true you can't predict the fluctuations but if you apply the Cost Averaging technique and do it long term, I'm sure you can gain. Ayawg bultoha ug invest bro, gamay2x lang pero kanunay ka cge butang. Kay dili jud na mataganan pero kung gamiton lang nimu ang Cost Averaging, payter kaayo na na technique. Tell me if I'm wrong.

This is my principle "Everytime there is a disaster or crises, there is an oppurtunity."
"Everytime the ecomoy shakes, buy more stocks"

This sounds funny, abnormal and ridiculus but a lot of successful people came from being ridiculed and criticized.

I follow Warren Buffets' principle in investing. Investment is good for long term.

When the economy crashes, it is the best time to buy.

"Buffet stops buying stocks when the stocks begun to rise"

i don't invest in stocks kay first of all i don't know much about it.. secondly, i invest nalang in realty where barato kaau ang mga properties and plan namu is magtukod ug mga apartment lain... maybe stock market isn't really for me lang jud.. basin para na sa uban.. but for me, i stick to business where i know na that is my strong points jud..

Good Points taken from ckice:
1. chinese generations of wealth...
1st generation starts the business and grows it
2nd generation grows it even more
3rd generation stops growing and starts spending
4th generation keeps on spending
5th generation spends everything and goes broke
...after the 5th generation its back to square one.
This is SO TRUE. I have seen a lot of examples of Chinese families on this side of the boat.
Though in some way they have good business traits.. but the way I see the long-term scenario of their business..the toils of the patriarchs are really unvalued by the new generations. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the borrowing. But as to my evaluation, its how good business traits are being passed as well.


2. a business cant become big overnight and there is no such thing as a quick buck.
its harder to spend hard earned cash than to spend a quick buck.
When I earned it hard, its so hard for me to spend it on things which are indirectly sensible to my business or wealth plan. I'd rather invest it on things which will boost my business more


3. regarding stocks, i've been playing with the market since 1987. its a quick way to make a buck but its also a quick way to lose it. you can get burned bad.
I guess this is a good advice from somebody who's been there. Indeed, experience is a good teacher... But wiser men take heed from best teachers (who have experienced it).
No matter how you twist it, stocks trading is a form of gambling shroud in a white cloth of "invesment"


4. you hear about everyone making money but never hear about the loses... same as the casino. manghambog sa daug hilum sa pildi!
hehehe..You got that right!

Accumulation of shares is all you need to succeed. Do it long term. Tell me if i'm wrong.

casino is gambling. stocks isn't. so they're not the same. stocks are longterm tools to grow money, if u use the longterm vehicle for short-term purpose, u will get burned most of the time because it's in how u use the vehicle. plus lack of education might be a factor too. so better use the right tool for the right purpose.

as of businessmen, try to read gokongwei's story. something went wrong when his father died, .... find out for yourself. most chinese learn from each other's mistakes that's why they persevere in business. the business is just the vehicle, where do they really put their profit? - not necessarily in stocks, nor in pieces of land. find out what's common with those people... i'll give u a clue, their kids / children all have this small booklet, the parents all have "special papers" that they keep in their safe...hehehe

re-post.some pipol seem not to get it the first time. hehehe

I agree with jess... Istoryans I will give you a short message from _________.

"I am your ________.

You and I have similar purpose in this world.

It is your job to provide food, clothing, shelter, schooling, medicine and other things for your loved ones. You do this while I lie in you safe deposit box.

I have faith and trust in you. Out of your earnings will come the cost of my upkeep. At times, I may appear insignificant to you - but someday (and who knows when) you and I will change place.

When you are laid to rest, I will come alive and do your job. I may provide food, clothing, shelter, schooling, medicine and other things your family will continue to need - just as you are doing now. When your work and labor are done, mine will begin. Through me, your hands can carry on.

Whenever you fell the price you're paying for my upkeep is burdensome, remember that I can do more for you and your family than you will ever do for me.

If you do you part, I will do mine.

Sincerly yours,

Your ____________."
