Steps on How to Achieve Your Financial Goals Successfully

1. Write them down
Write your personal goal in a piece of paper. Do you want house and lot? Do you want your dream car? All you need is to list it down. Make a checklist. It also helps you become more motivated.



2. Make them as detailed as possible
You need to make your goals to be specific like "What you want to acquire?", "What do you want in life?", "What things you need to be yours?" You need make it as clearly as possible. The more clearly you visualize, the easier it will be manifested.



3. Picture them clearly in your mind as already done
Visualize your dreams and personal goals as if it's already done. Try to visualize it early in the morning. Manifestation will help you to materialize your goals.



4. Then double them

5. Then double them again

6. Then double them yet again



7. Do that until you are the farthest edge of your imagination
Do some meditation to enhance your imagination. It's recommended to do meditation when you wake up early in the morning. Focus your imagination on your personal goals. Ask yourself on HOW you are going to accomplish it and WHY you need to accomplish it.



8. Decide what kind of person you need to become in order to make it happen
Think of a HERO. What is hero in life? It doesn't mean superhero like Superman, but a hero that you admire the most and you want to become that hero. Like for example, my heroes are my biological parents, Bill Gates, Will Smith, Warren Buffet, etc. It will easy for you to materialize your goal when you are inspired to do so.



9. Start taking the steps necessary to become that person
You need to TAKE ACTION! It is the most crucial step to materialize your goal in life. Do work it with FULL PASSION. Always do what you love! Be brave. Be Courageous. Just persevere. God is always there to help you. With God, anything is possible.



10. Don't let anything stop you
You can do anything that you want and need in life. You need to BE PATIENT. Just keep going. No one can actually stop you, except YOU. You can materialize your goals as long as you have patience, courage, guts, and determination.



BONUS REMINDER!!!

ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE, and BE HAPPY. Success will chase you. :)

As of December 2015 - Philippine Stock Updates


What is Stock Market and How Does It Work

What is a Stock or Share?

When you're going to buy a stock or share, you are buying a piece or a part of the company. When a company needs to raise money, it issues shares to the investor. This will be done via an initial public offering (IPO), which the price of shares is set based how much the company is estimated to be worth, and how many shares are being issued. The company gets to keep the money raised to grow its business, while the shares (also called stocks) continue to trade on an exchange, such as the Philippine Stock Exchange.

How Does it Work?


There are lots of people who get scary when it comes to stock market, because they don't know what's really the true nature of stock market. There are people who think that investing in the stock market are gambling. But when you know how stock market works, it will make you interested to invest in a right manner. 

By the way, the common questions are "What is stock market? How does it work?" I will be explaining how the stock market works. 

There are 2 types of people in the stock market: the Trader and the Investor



The trader is a person who invest money in a short term, which means they are the ones who buy stocks today and sell it tomorrow or on the other week. These people use the "Market Timing" strategy. 



On the other hand, the Investor is a person who invest in the stock market in a long term, which means they are the people who invest or buy stock today and sell it for 20 years or more. They are the people who use "Buy and Hold" strategy.

CALCULATING EARNING PER SHARE(INCOME STATEMENT), BOOK VALUE(BALANCE SHEET), P/E RATIO AND P/BV RATIO

CALCULATING EARNING PER SHARE(INCOME STATEMENT) AND BOOK VALUE(BALANCE SHEET)



Given:
Market Price: 100,000
Net Income: 20,000
Equity: 7,000
Shares Outstanding(referring total # of shares) = 10,000
Market Price = 10 per share

Answer: Earnings(ESP): 2 ; Book Value: 0.70 ; PE: 5

Basic Solution
EPS(Earnings Per Share) = NET INCOME / SHARES OUTSTANDING = 20,000/10,000= 2
BOOK VALUE (Equity per share) = EQUITY / SHARES OUTSTANDING = 7,000/10,000 = 0.7

CALCULATING P/E RATIO and P/BV RATIO:




P/E Ratio = Market Price / EPS = 10/2 = 5


Here's the BASIC VALUATION TECHNIQUES


P/BV = Market Price / BV = 10 / .70 = 14.29

RULES IN VALUE INVESTING:
- A GOOD STOCK MUST HAVE P/E < 15
- A GOOD STOCK MUST HAVE P/BV < 1.5

SIMPLIFY THE GOOD STOCK
P/E * P/BV = <15 * <1.5 = <22.5

CONCLUSION:
A good stock value must be < 22.5, otherwise it is a bad stock..
