Hi Filipino Investor Admin,

I'm John and I happen to come across your blog. I got interested with investing in the stock market a month ago and I can't help but read and learn everything I can. The thing is I am in Qatar working. I started saving enough to start my investments. Any advise you can give? More powers!

Regards, John

Hi John,

Thank you for query. I think a lot of new guys to investing have the same questions. Having this said. I'll answer your question through a blog post (and here it is. Haha).

The following are more of a general rule of thumb that I followed in the last 4 years of investing the PSE and it has served me relatively well. I hope you learn something valuable in one of them.

How to be a successful trader

I've read a lot of  stuffs on how to become a successful trader and investor in the stock market and perhaps this is one of the best.

I think Faceless Trader nailed it on this one.

More than studying the charts or the company’s fundamental positions, the more important thing that trading entails is the aspect of knowing yourself and complementing that personality to the unique trading system that you’ll eventually use to enable yourself to be a better and consistent trader. - Faceless Trader

Know your self. Find a strategy that works and makes sense to you. Stick with it.
