Market Volatility And Economic Turbulence – Would You Be Comfortable?

LiveJournal Tags: Philippine Stocks , Philippine Economy , Money devaluation , Inflation , Price Increase Turbulences such as shocks, bumps & shakings are almost inevitable things to experience in each of our lives. These are aspects we need to face on, as long as we are breathing. However there are shocks and shakings that can be detrimental, destructive and fatal such as high intensity quakes that may knock down buildings and bridges. They are not frequent though. So, why in the world do you think engineers and builders do care enough to lay down  a solid foundation for their structures? Spend much money, time in planning and engineering for this foundation? Intensive quakes happen very rare or maybe not in some places. I think you knew your answer. Then why on earth when it comes to people’s Personal Economy, plenty of us doesn’t care enough building a solid Financial Foundation? or doesn’t even care whether the ground where they build their finances is stable from withi...

Paper Money Can Make or Break YOU.

Image
It Can Either Work FOR you or Work Against You. One morning a few days ago, my wife was disappointed to see the outer sole of her shoes stripped off again just a day after she fixed it with rubber cement. As I take look at it later, I found out that the way she applied the rubber cement was improper – the surface was not cleaned well before applying and she did not allow to let it dry first before gluing the surface together. That was why the optimum and desired result of the fix was not attained, although rubber cement has been known and tested to be an efficient rubber adhesive. Well, a lot of things around that if used properly will make our life easier and better or even saves us energy and resources. However, no matter how effective and usable a thing would be if it is used improperly and messed up with it, that “useful” thing may cause us trouble or problem which may lead to disappointment, stress and dismay. The same is true with our “Paper Money” – the “money” we per...

Are You Prepared Enough Regardless of Where this Economy can Go?

Image
We are generally governed by natural laws like cause & effects, sowing & reaping, etc…but in our recent time, there are many things invented that can be controlled and manipulated according to our preference. A lot of them had been successful and efficient such as our cars, appliances, and so on and so forth. Same is true with this modern economy – It has been invented, created and now evolved into a complex structure that needs to consider several policies, measures and controls in order to achieve growth and sustain it i.e. manipulating these inputs will determine the future of any economy. However, how does this form of mechanism appear when it comes to its long-term effectiveness? I can recall the pages of history of the worst nuclear accident in Ukraine in April 26 of 1986 – the Chernobyl disaster that as they conducted the test of their cooling pump whether it can function still with low power in case the auxiliary electricity supply should fail. They started the...

You Think You CAN’T Loose Everything in the Philippines? Think again!

This drawing on the left is the interpretation of my 9 year old daughter when I asked her to draw a person who lost his all – his business, job, savings and wealth. How it appeared to my daughter was a picture of a man scratching his head in wonder and in great grief of what had happened. Now, how it would looks like to you? What if it is you? Do you think it can’t happen here this country? think again.   Throughout history, great and powerful governments almost always conform to the usual playbook – a time tested pattern i.e. when the “Once Powerful”  governments is in decline and as bankruptcy gets nearer, it will always resort to imposing controls over everything – from wages, prices, capitals, trades, exports even unto its people: Everything! and this idea can be traced back even from the dawn of human Civilizations. From the 3rd Dynasty of Ur in the Ancient Mesopotamia, where they did trade as like modern future contracts on their clay tablets and sold it to the seconda...

Miss this - And Your Financial Bucket Will End-up EMPTY!

Think about this - Can You Live a Single Day Without Water?  Two days ago, we ran out of water in our subdivision because of the submersible pump failure. It was early in the morning when we were about to wash the dishes after breakfast when the over head tank ran out of water and there’s no more water goes out of the faucet. Fortunately, it was raining then and so I gathered all the pails and basins and start catching water from the down spout. It took few hours to fill the bigger basin since the rain was not that heavy. Each of us realized that it was so difficult then for us to adjust living without water. Each of us became more concerned on water wastages and even tries to recycle the used water. We sacrifice taking a bath just to conserve water we gathered until the water supply comes back to normal. There was really discomfort in our part e.g. not taking a bath for two days for example & heaping laundry at the laundry bar, etc… and we got to wait for the pump to get fixe...

The Greatest SCAM

Image
Hello, Bong Bungalan Jr. here and I'd like to ask you a serious and disturbing question.  Have you ever wondered why life gets tougher (Financially) as the days gone by?   I used to think before that this is life (normal) and I used to believe that's it  but now I'm so grateful that I see - I was SCAMMED! How do you feel the moment you realized that you've been scammed? Of course you'll be as angry and furious as I did 3 years ago. I saw myself & my family bounded by the system, struggling and chasing hard for that mysterious "thing" just as the donkey pursuing the carrot being set in from of her by her master who is riding behind her back. Thanks to Robert for striking me with the idea. As a normal consequence to SCAMS & Scammers, they must face their ultimate end : Demise - though they may do within their very means to protect their interest and hide their schemes.   Economically, YES we are scammed!  We are scammed & set up by these people ...

Financial Independence? Refuse To Conform The MATRIX!

Image
(Part 1) Matrix (mey-triks, ma-) -  from: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/matrix Something that constitutes the place or point from which something else originates, takes form, or develops: The Greco-Roman world was the matrix for Western civilization. Matrix is everywhere and most likely, it is always operating subtly and insidiously – Unnoticed and perceived as a just, normal & reasonable matter to the majority of human’s average logical thinking. Whether natural and/or forced matrices, usually it follows a predictable outcome or patterns that would “over and over” happen after a certain stimulus or circumstance and looking back on human history,  it could be observed that human nature tends to adopt and accept the accepted norms & patterns of the society without questioning its logic and reasons. Economically, perhaps there is a matrix that have been crafted and engineered (subtly) since the dawn of the civilizations - developed and thrived over many ...
