I think it is not difficult to know how to select a mutual fund for a better profit from the investment. Once if you are aware about choosing a mutual fund wisely, it is further easy to keep your income growing.
Hi Pinoy Investor,
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge in investing. I’m a newbie in investing and I find your blog very helpful. I bought EDC and SMPH last April but I find them very slow in moving up but since I’m planning to invest for the long-term, I guess I just need to learn to be patient for now. Like you, I’m also an OFW in Singapore. Now I’m reading and saving to buy a mutual fund. Have read your Philippine Mutual Fund Performance – 1st Quarter 2012 and I think I’ll get PHILAM STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND. I have added your site in my favorites, keep blogging

Hi Fisherman,
Thank you for dropping by in my blog.
I guess you miss the rally of the SMPH stocks on the 1st quarter of 2012. Anyway, EDC and SMPH are a company with good fundamentals and it may take time to move these stocks to a new high.
Good to know that you are planning to start investing in a mutual fund like PAMI (Philam Fund).
