Random Thoughts…10202011

Last Thursday morning, we took a break from our weekly meeting schedule, preparing and leaving our homes earlier than usual, anticipating the dreaded Makati traffic, to be at the Philippine Stock Exchange in Ayala Tower 1 by 8:30 AM. We were a contingent of about 30 Rotarians and friends - who took the tour of the stock trading floor, see the electronic trading board - some of us for the first time, witness the ringing of the bell that signified the start of stock trading for the day, and attended a half day seminar on Stock Market Investing 101. The seminar had three great speakers and ended with a sumptuous lunch provided by the PSE. This Rotary activity was made possible by ‘FDG’ Benny Pe as a fitting project for Vocational Service month.

District 3800 big wigs, I mean top brass were with us at the PSE tour/seminar namely PDG Jun Farcon, DDG Pablito Bermundo, and CP Manny Reyes.

Right before the start of the activity, we were joined by RCSJ charter member Ramon Avecilla who chanced upon us while he was on his way to his stock brokerage seat at the Makati bourse. Mon posed with us for a few pictures.

Everyone who attended the seminar had fun and clamoured for more such activities in the future. We congratulate ‘FDG’ Benny Pe and Pres Nan for spearheading this project.

Cheers and enjoy RotaryJ

  1. Well, the platform hardly matters whether you choose NSE stocks or BSE stocks; both BSE and NSE companies perform as per changing market scenario. What really matters is your level of experience, how informed the person is and how deep you may swim along. stock market tips
