Should you invest in the stock market?

Posted by: myrobert

Interest rates are at their lowest level these days. A time deposit may only give you 4.5% for a one million placement. Last year, the Philippine stock market performed spectacularly with a 42.3% increased from 2005. What a good way to start investing in the stock market with a figure like that!

Be forewarned though, the stock market is not for the faint of heart. While your principal can go up 42% in one year, you can also loose the same. Invest only your extra money and learn the basics of stock investing through the PSE website. At the current level (which is the peak), wait for corrections before investing.

The stock market will probably continue its bull run towards the end of 2007. Its very hard to say though which stock to buy. For the risk averse people, you can always invest in equity mutual funds of balanced funds.

How to get that Php 1 Cebu Pacific Fare

Posted by: myrobert

Cebu Pacific’s website became stable over the weekend allowing me to view fligth schedule and rates. If you wish to get the One Pesos fare, try searching within weekdays where there are few tourist. The most busy dates are the weekends.

I am disappointed with the schedules I saw and unable to book any flights. Good luck to you though!

The promo has caused a lot of travellers to checked out their website. Here’s the message you get when you try booking “Oops sorry! Cebu Pacific’s online booking engine is currently busy”. “

New Year, New Home, New Look

Posted by: myrobert

It’s been 5 months since I last blogged. I got so busy with wedding preparation and a new chapter in my life that I have neglected to update my Sikap Pinoy blog.

Now that things have settled, I am here again with a new look and new blog platform.

Will be coming up with more interesting post in the next few days.
