Absolutely. If your time horizon for your investment is long term like several years, then mutual funds would be perfect for you. Mutual funds have different styles by the way depending on how risk averse you are. So a MF can be more on stocks and less on fixed income securities. Or the other way around.

If you want to handle your investment directly then that's when you can open a trading account and go with stocks. Stock investing may not be for everyone. You can potentially gain more by trading directly in stocks if you have a good trading system. But you can also lose more if you are careless. That's why for many people MF works better and actually can earn better if compared to typical earnings of the average stock investor even accounting for the management fees.

If you don't want to go for the trouble of managing money yourself, then MF is an excellent alternative. Hope that helps.

Im interested mag invest using EIP (easy investment program) sa citiseconline. Kinsa diri naa na ana? Unsa difference niya vs. kung apply ko like sa bpitrade and ako lang mag regularly palit using fixed amount sa mga blue chip stocks na ila gi recommend? Same raman diba? Kay para dili na hasol deposit sa banko kay online ra sa bpi.

Right now, the stock market is on sideways due to the impending bankruptcy of Greece. If Greece won't be bailed out by European Union, then chances are it would default in its obligations. Now, this would create a massive chain reaction against banks and businesses. Ultimately, the whole economy would suffer.

If I were you, this is a good time to invest in stocks. Look for deep dives. Buy low and sell high. Take advantage of cost averaging. But if you want to stay away from direct stock market trading, you can opt to "indirectly" invest in stock market through equity funds of mutual funds and UITFs.

Anyway, for newbies in the stock market, you can view my article on How Stock Market Works.

ang BPITrade murag pwede ra man ka online ani as long as naa ka bpi account. I have COL but I can't compare the two kay wala koy BPITrade. Basta ang ako ra nabati-an from somebody nga taga BPI, mas maayo daw ang COL Kusog daw mo hang ang BPITrade. Since ang imong focus is more on investing, dili ka affected sa kahinay sa ilang system. Siguro usa sa imong tan-awn bro is ang % commission or imong ma incur nga fees. Mao ra na ako ma share.

You can read about EIP on the website of Citiseconline bro. All your questions can be answered there. I know a lot who have used it. They're happy with the service and in fact, many of them ended up switching to a regular account because they got hooked on investing.

As for BPI, yes it does have its advantages in terms of the convenience of transferring funds from your deposit account to your trading account. However, in terms of actual trading features, citisec still beats bpi. So if you want to manage your stock investments better, I suggest you look up citiseconline.

Hope that helps

started investing in stocks last 2008 (the height of the recession) at only 25K. i only bought stocks online via citiseconline.com. some stocks ako gi resell and buy again, some i just left until today. so far naka ginansya nako og 20K. no idea if dako na or gamay. i think gamay ra kay stagnant ako money for 3 years and mao ra ang ako gain. not sure if i bought the right stocks. realized that i should've invested more on alcohol, kay paspas kaau ang taas during recession--seems like more people are drinking kung nagkalisod. but anyway, let's just wait out, the economy is still getting better.

also invested in Mutual Funds (philequity and phil. metro savings) and they seem to be doing better than my stocks. hehe
