Ayoko na mag-invest at mag-trade sa Philippine Stocks and Philippine Stock Market.

And bibigyan kita ng 5 reasons kung bakit ayoko na sa Philippine Stocks.

Unang-una, trading hours.

Hanggang ngayon, ang Philippine Stock Market ay nag-trade lang between 9am to 3pm.

Ang ikli ng trading hours sila.

And I just found out na meron pa pala silang lunch break between 12pm to 1pm.

Grabe, sobrang old school naman talaga itong Philippine Stock Market natin.

At kailangan nalatanggalin yan lunch break at habaan yung trading hours sila.

Pangalawa, low trading volume.

Alam mo ba that the daily value turned over sa Philippine Stock Exchange is only about 3 to 5 billion pesos.

That's roughly 50 to 90 million dollars per day.

With a high of only 10 billion pesos per day.

Which is about 176 million dollars.

Now, kumparayan sa US Stock Market, ang baba sobrang ng trading volume na yan.

The NASDAQ alone in the United States does 350 billion dollars a day.

Kung ganyan kababa ang trading volume dito sa Pilipinas,

it's going to be difficult to see much significant movement to make money on the stock market for traders.

At alam mo ba gano'ng kalit yung market cap ng buong Philippine Stock Exchange?

It's only 270 billion dollars.

I know that sounds big.

Pero kung kinumpere mo yan sa New York Stock Exchange, that has a market cap of 25 trillion dollars.

Halos 1% lang ang size ng market natin kumpara sa New York Stock Exchange.

And think about this ha.

Yung buong Philippine Stock Market is smaller than the top 20 companies in the US Stock Market.

And that's the whole Philippines.

O bago ko sabihin yung other 3 reasons kung bakit hindi na ako nag-trade ng Philippine Stocks.

Gusto mo ba mag-trade?

Gusto mo ba mag-trade ng US Stocks o kaya Commodities, Forex, or Indices?

At ito trade mo lahat yan on one trading platform.

And you get to trade it against Bitcoin.

Kung naintriga ka dito, check out the newest all-in-one trading platform called Zeros Markets.

And I'll share with you the link right here for the full video walkthrough of Zeros Markets if you're interested.

And I'll also share the link for the sign-up in case gusto mo na mag-sign-up.

Okay, let's go back now to the last 3 reasons.

Kung bakit ayoko na mag-invest at mag-trade ng Philippine Stocks.

Number 3, lack of trading options.

Alam mo sa Philippines, it's called vanilla trading.

At it's called vanilla dahil ang plain niya talaga.

Ibig sabihin, ang pwede mo lang gawin dito ay spot trading.

Pwede ka lang bumili ng shares at ibenta yung shares kung kumita ka na.

That's it.

Wala siyang mga derivatives, options, wala siyang mga futures, perpetuals, walang ganon.

It's so simple, you can't even sell short.

Well, hopefully, I heard, nababaguhin na daw nila yun at mag-a-allow na sila ng mga short selling.

Let's see what happens.

But for now, it's vanilla trading and there's nothing you can do with the trading in the Philippine Stock Market.

Tapos, idagdag mo pa doon na there's literally only about 10 stocks that you can really trade.

The trading volume of everything else is so low na it's useless to try to even trade it.

Number 4, I have this belief that the Philippine Stock Market is highly manipulated at ang daming insider trading nangyayari.

Dito, sa stock market natin.

And only the big players are gonna be the ones that are able to benefit from this.

The rest of us, the retail traders, good luck.

At sana masakyan mo na lang yung wave at kumita ka.

Pero if you're not in the know, there's a big chance you might even lose your money.

And the number 5 reason bakit hindi na ako nag-iinvest at nag-trade ng Philippine stocks,

it's the currency devaluation.

At kahit na kumita ka sa Philippine Stock Market, talo ka pa rin dahil yung Philippine Peso ay pababa ng pababa ng value.

At dahil doon, you're at a disadvantage.

You're at a disadvantage no matter what you do here in this stock market.

And those are the 5 reasons kung bakit hindi na ako nag-iinvest sa Philippine Stock Market.

But I am still hopeful that the PSC will be able to see how they can evolve and improve the trading and investing landscape in the Philippines

to be able to attract again retail investors to invest in this market.

There are a couple of things na pwede pa nalang gawin to be able to improve that.

Number 1, take out the trading hours.

Make trading 24-7.

Number 2, they should really consider going on the blockchain.

Number 3, which they're already talking about, is offering different trading options.

Derivatives, leverage trading, futures, and all of that.

Number 4, improve regulations and monitoring para walang insider trading at mabawasan yung mga manipulative trading.

And number 5, ito hindi ko alam kung ano magagawa nila with regards to the Philippine Peso's devaluation.

Maybe they should consider trading the Philippine stocks against a more stable currency.

And that way, they'll be able to open it up not just for Filipino retail investors,

but possibly even if regulations allow.

The entire world.

And that's it. I hope you guys learned something from this video.

At kayo, ano sa tingin nyo?

Nag-i-invest pa ba kayo sa Philippine stock market?

And if you do, I'd love to know kung bakit nag-i-invest pa kayo sa Philippine stock market

and what do you think can they do to improve their services and their offerings.
