For several weeks now, I saw the Philippine Stock Market on a downward spiral. Though there were a few trading days when I see the market make a rebound, I see it as an opportunity for bargain hunters to buy shares of great companies at a much cheaper price. After bargain hunting, shares plummet once again on the following days.
Others view the current downtrend in the Philippine Stock Market as political. However, based on the global news, it seems to boil down to global economy. The impending increase in the federal tax rates is being anticipated with bated breath.
To long term investors, crisis like this is a great opportunities to accumulate shares since the prices are cheap. This is the time to be greedy since a lot has been so fearful. Fearful because some entered the market when it is going up. For those who waited on the sideline when the market is up, I imagine that they are now like kids buying candies of different variants from candy store. There are lots of cheap companies left and right.
One piece of advice though my friends, always make sure that you buy shares of great companies only. You must invest your hard money on companies which will be around for the next 10, 20 years. Do not put in your hard earned money on penny stocks. Later on, you will become penniless.
Invest wisely. We invest because we think about the future. Live in the present but always plan for the future.
Have a nice day!!! :)
