jlamela @jlamela (4898) • Philippines 24 Jun 12

I understand that there's a big difference between stock trading and forex trading when it comes to risk and return. I want to know which among these two types of trading is more profitable. Risk is always part of the investment...

chriskoh I think different stock brokerages have different minimum deposit requirements. Usually they would ask for $10,000 as a basic account. Good and credible brokerages I know are Interactive Brokers, Etrade, and American Trade. Some of them also have a free trial...

chriskoh Very huge! I agree with the threadstarter here. You can breathe fresh air here coming from the sea. One of a kind experience. Your feet will get tired walking and walking throughout the real estate property. I think a lot of filipinos from abroad don't miss to...

zaga_cleuth @zaga_cleuth (1407) • Philippines 24 Jun 12

I'm thinking of investing my money, because it's been six month and my money in bank seems to be idle. It's moving and increasing yes, but not what I want. It's very minimal. First I was thinking of putting my money into time...

chriskoh You can earn more in the stock market but you have to educate yourself more about it. Time deposits can earn you 5-7% each year but if you are well educated in the stock market you can even earn your money 20-30% in a good year. Usually rookie traders lose...

chriskoh It all boils down to oil. There are trillions of cubic feet of natural gas there. It could even make us a First World Country if we drill that. That is why China is very eager to get the whole of South China Sea.

Invasion in Mylot

mikyung @mikyung (2232) • Philippines 21 Jun 12

No, it is not actually an invasion. We are peace-loving citizens, right? We are just Filipinizing things here. I see a lot of Filipino contributors in this site and it makes me wonder that it is increasing. I'm so delighted to see...

chriskoh Yes, I am suprised to see a lot of Filipinos in Mylot. There would be more filipinos if these goes viral in the best sites like Facebook and Twitter. Imagine we already enjoy interacting and then we sill get paid for these? Cool!

chriskoh Very brave move by President Aquino, but I think it is better if we have helped more the poor because we are not a First World Country. Our people need more help. A lot of people live below the poverty line. I think it is around 40%. So what is Aquino's...

chriskoh Spain won because of their favorite tikitaka game which is to play with the ball at all times. It reduced France into mere spectators just watching the ball. That is why the French complained that they lost because Spain "bored" them to death. What if the next...

chriskoh At least it's only $6. When you send abroad some money it would cost you a whooping $35 by wiretransfer. So this is a big discount for you already. You should be contented about it

chriskoh Yeah some would want it to be changed into Rizalia by the Rizalistas which I think is a cult. There are also those nationalist who want it changed because they say that the name Philippines was given by the Spanish. It's like Burma being changed into Myanmmar...

what is the biggest problem of the Philippines right now?

jsae29 @jsae29 (1120) • Philippines 21 Jun 12

In my opinion, the biggest problem of the Philippines right now is having too many HIGHLY-INTELLECTUAL people. There's always clashing of ideas and opinions. Always drawing suspicion. As a result, we always end up with nothing.
