Video interview with seasoned local investor Kit Guerrero on January 13, 2017 by Rom Cumagun via facebook messenger and aired live over facebook. Kit has been a diligent student of stocks investing ever since he took over his father’s dwindling funds and turned around its fortunes. He has been combining reading books, interviewing experienced investors and actual online stocks investing. Because of his persistent efforts, he is now able to diversify his investments into real estate.
“Stocks investing is not for the fearful,” he warned before he shared his thoughts on stocks investing 2017, “because it is money that you have saved and don’t want to lose. 2017 can be a make or break year for the Philippines. You might get a shock in 2017.
Despite the warning I still encourage first time investors to invest in Philippine equities. I encourage them because they are buying a business; they become part owners no matter how tiny.
The Philippines is economically and politically positioned to go up in the next several years. We have an interesting president who has moved in so many areas within three or four months — accomplishments equal to 1.5 years of work.
Let us continue to pray for Pres. Duterte… that he brings us to the right decisions: international alliances, trade partnerships, keeping the incumbent head of the Banko Sentral… ”
Kit so generously promised that he will be constantly available to guide followers of this blog in the learning process of stocks investing.
