Ready ka na ba mag-invest kaya lang hindi mo alam pa paano mag-umpisa?

If that's the case, panuorin mo itong video na ito

dahil tuturo ko sa inyo ano ba yung pinakamabilis

at saka pinakasimpleng paraan kung pa paano mag-umpisa mag-invest.

Before we get started, I just want to say that

nothing I say is considered financial advice

and I'm just doing all of this for information and entertainment purposes only.

And please do your own research.

Unang-una, why do we invest?

Importante na nag-iinvest ka ng pera mo habang maaga pa

para lumaki yung value ng mga assets mo.

Kasi pag inibon mo lang siya as cash,

bumaba ba ang halaga nung pera mo.

Kaya importante mag-invest in assets like stocks.

Next, where should you invest?

Ako marirecommend ko sa inyo is to invest in the U.S. stock market

and for several reasons.

Unang-una, it's better to be able to hold U.S. dollars

kasi alam naman natin that it's the global reserve currency

at it holds its value kumpara sa mga iba't-ibang mga currencies.

Mas maganda yung value ng U.S. dollar kesa sa Philippine peso.

Another reason is that the U.S. stock market is a big market

so very liquid siya. Maraming pera pumapasok doon.

That also means mataas ang trading volume niya.

Maraming trades going in and out.

And also, marami kang choices ng mga stocks na pwede mong bilhin.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

How do you invest in the U.S. stock market

from the Philippines and being a Filipino?

Ngayon, marami ng mga apps that allows you to invest

in the U.S. stock market from the Philippines.

Ang ginagamit ko mismo is RockFlow app.

The reason I use RockFlow is because I want an app

na mabilis gamitin at simpleng gamitin.

And when I tried RockFlow, I was actually impressed

at how easy it was to use. Kaya yun ang ginagamit ko.

I'll share with you guys my link if you want to use RockFlow.

So this is what you do.

If you want to trade in the U.S. stock market,

all you have to do is open an account

with a trading app like RockFlow.

Next, deposit money into the account

that's going to be converted into U.S. dollars.

Pag na-convert na siya to U.S. dollars,

you're ready to start investing.

Okay, so this is the fun part.

How do we pick a stock?

When buying stocks, my recommendation

is to pick companies that you're familiar with.

Huwag kang bumibili ng mga kumpanya

that you have no idea what they do,

how long they've been around,

kailan mo ba yung brand na yan o hindi.

You should really pick mga stocks or companies

na familiar ka or nagkagamit mo.

And pick companies that are big companies,

companies that have been around for a while.

So ano ba yung mga kumpanya that you're familiar with?

Think about it.

Like for example, Apple, Tesla,

or mga car companies,

or companies that we use every day.

Amazon, Google, yung mga ganyan.

Facebook.

So those are companies na familiar tayo with

and those are easy investments

because alam naman natin that

they're fairly future-proof.

And that's what makes them a safer investment

that has the potential to grow in the future.

Now may mga iba sa atin,

we need more help in picking a stock

and we don't know how to pick a stock.

My recommendation is actually

pumunta ka sa Rockflow app.

Meron sila dun na feature called TradeGPT.

TradeGPT is an AI-powered investment tool

na pumipili ng mga stocks

based on all the data out there

on a particular company.

Tapos a-analyze sila

at bibigyan nila sa iyo

yung kanilang rekomendasyon.

Dahil it's AI-powered,

it's going to have a lot more information

and be able to analyze the information

better than us humans can.

Okay, now I'm gonna give you guys

a simple investment strategy

that works flawlessly.

Una-una, set a goal.

Maglagay ka ng goal kung magkano

ang gusto mong ma-earn in one year.

So from there, sabihin natin,

for example,

ang goal natin in one year

is to have $1,200 invested.

So that means we're gonna be investing

$100 a month.

In pesos, that's P5,600 per month.

Ngayon, pwede mo namang

i-adjust yung amount din

depende kung magkano

ang sweldo mo buwan-buwan.

If you're somebody that earns

about P50,000 to P60,000 a month,

you can invest about P5,000 to P6,000

in the stock market.

Ngayon, kung ang sweldo mo

is about P20,000 to P30,000 per month lang,

pwede ka naman mag-start

with P2,000 to P3,000 per month.

But for the sake of this video,

ang gagamitin natin example

is $100 a month

or P5,600 per month.

Now, once you've set your goal for the year,

what you have to do now

is make a commitment

and be consistent.

Ibig sabihin noon

is that on every payday,

ilalagay mo na

that you're going to be investing

$100 at the start of every month.

And do not miss it no matter what.

And make sure that you check it off every month

when you've made your investment.

And make sure to be disciplined enough

to be consistent.

Yun yung pinaka-importanting key dito

ay consistency.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking.

Paano kung umiba yung presyo

by the time you buy again?

That's called dollar cost averaging.

So, it doesn't matter what the price is.

Basta every month at a certain time,

bumili ka lang.

Whether the price goes up

or it goes down,

bumili ka lang

kasi after one year,

mag-a-average naman yung presyong yan.

And to complete the strategy,

make sure to do this.

Once you buy that investment,

hold it.

Kailangan hawakan mo lang yung investment na yan

for a long term

because time is on your side.

Because most of these stocks,

the longer the time is,

the higher the value of these stocks.

At yan ang isang investment strategy

to make sure

that your assets are now growing over time.

So, ngayon na meron ka ng investment portfolio,

what's next?

If you want to level up your investment game,

you can start trading.

Ang objective naman ng trading

is to be able to earn a profit

on a short term basis.

And here are my trading tips.

Number one,

only trade 10% to 20%

of your entire investment portfolio.

So, let's say for example,

nakapaglagay ka na ng investment

of $1,200.

Ang ibig sabihin nun,

you can now trade with $120 to $240

and keep it there.

And keep the 80% to 90%

in your long term investments.

Ngayon, the kind of trading

I would recommend you do

is called spot trading.

Spot trading is basically

buying and selling stocks.

And the strategy is simple.

Buy low and sell high.

So, kung binili mo yung stock

at a price of $100 for example,

tapos tumasa siya to $120,

ibenta mo na and you've made $20.

It's that simple.

And to be able to decide

kung anong stocks

ang pwede mong bilhin

on that particular day,

gamitin mo yung trade GPT

at tignan mo kung bullish siya.

Kasi at that point,

alam mo that it's a good time to buy

and you know that it means

that the stock is most likely

gonna be going up.

And you know that

that's a good time to come in

and be able to buy that stock.

And after that,

you can just wait for it to profit.

Once it profits,

you can sell it again.

And then basically,

just repeat that cycle

all over again.

And this is the best

and simplest way

to be able to start investing.

At ngayon na marunong ka

na mag-invest at mag-trade,

I would suggest that

you increase your

trading and investment knowledge

by reading a lot of the materials

on trading

and watching a lot of videos

like this one

and even taking some courses

on investing and trading.

And I also recommend

you play around with the RockFlow app

kasi ang daming pwedeng gawin dun eh.

For example,

may copy trading dun

where you'll pick a profitable trader

and just copy their moves.

You can also check

yung mga iba't-ibang

mga investment lists

that they have there

under the Explore tab.

And make sure to join

the RockFlow Telegram group.

Para dito,

makikilala mo yung RockFlow team

para pag may tanong ka

o kailangan mo ng tulong,

they can give you

the assistance you need.

And also,

meet other traders.

And that's it.

Sana nakatulong

itong video na ito

para makapag-start ka

na mag-invest.
