Stock Alert: Sell SMPH, Buy SECB (10 March 2016 - Thursday)

As emailed from Truly Rich Club

SMPH (SM Prime Holdings) has hit our target price of P21.70, so you can
sell.

From your proceeds of this sale, you can divide to our other recommended
SAM stocks.  If it's a huge amount, divide into 3 to 6 months and deploy
each month.

You can also buy SECB (Security Bank).  We like that its Board took in the
Bank of Tokyo as a strategic partner.  The Bank of Tokyo bought 20% of
SECB, buying at 2.8 times its book value.  Pretty cool, right?

Note: SECB has gone up in the past two days, so please see to it that you
buy below our Buy Below Price of P154.20.

Our Target Price for SECB is P185.

Maximize your return

If your starting point for investment is just $1, life is easy!  You can only go up.  

Realistically, most people start in the middle – about $10,000 to $20,000.  But with the overload of financial information in the marketplace, people sometimes prefer to do nothing because they fear to lose their money due to a bad investment decision.  In the end, most people end up leaving their money in the bank.    

Where's the best place to put that money?  What are the ways to make the most of your money?

Your financial adviser will say that the "best investment" for your money will depend on the risks you're willing to take.  

However, in today's unpredictable stock markets, chasing short–term returns is only for people who can afford to lose.  Therefore, the prudent thing to do will be to take a long–term strategy that tries to minimize risks and provide reasonable returns.

That's where long term investment would come in.

Wesleyan Apartment Building 1 - 28 October 2014

What we have here is a bunch of pictures that was shared by the contractor. Showing the project's progress at this stage.

Note: This is an apartment project at the back of Wesleyan University of the Philippines, Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.

Bank Financing Comparison : BDO versus East West Bank

I have accounts on this 2 banks so I decided to compare on which would be more cost effective in terms of interest.

The loan will be used on an apartment building in Cabanatuan City just at the back of Wesleyan University of the Philippines.

We have the budget but a bit short of a mil to start kicking off the project of additional 4 door apartment building.

We are supposed to delay it for another year to boost up our funds and we also thought of getting a loan (haven't done this before). Just looking up some figures on the respective bank's website below are the figures.

BDO 

EASTWEST BANK

This is the computation from East West Bank

East West is a bit high with a few hundreds but I haven't look at yet on the processing side of things which is also a part of the consideration.
