    Looking back to March... makes me wish I was more aware of the stock market situation and I had the foresight to borrow from our company co-op at 12% p.a.

    Liquidate all cash from all bank accounts to raise $100m then get $100m from co-op.

    Buy $DITO at $1.00/share and sell starting $8.00/share

    Buy $NIKL at $1.50/share and sell starting $9.00/share

    Make $200m into $3.2b and pay $112m.

    With $3.088b I can buy Apple products as frequently as I want without any logic or rhyme.

    Heck, I'd give away all my tech and cars at home and just get all the 2020 models.

    I'd still drive a Honda or even a Mazda but ideally a hybrid.

    Buy an 1,000sqm empty lot with the backyard facing a golf course and build a modern house with an all solar panel roof and power wall.

    Whole home will have inverter AC

    6 Ford Ranger-length car garage

    I'd even pay to transfer Philmug to AWS for a decade

    If this is OT please remove.

    For car insurance, do you buy cover for acts of nature?

    Meh.

    It’s easy to be in the .1 if the standard of living of most everyone in the country is so bad.

    It's actually more difficult to break into the top 0.1% if you came from zero.

    There are about 63 million Filipino adults of which 0.1% is equivalent to about 63 thousand who have a wealth of over $1 million.

    To break down the top 0.1% into brackets is to look over 2020's Forbes Philippines' 50 Richest
    • 1 out of every 3.5 million Filipino adults have a wealth of more than $1 billion

    • 1 out of every 1 million Filipino adults have a wealth of between $100 million to $1 billion

    Anyone who bought DITO at 1 peso and cashed out above 11 pesos?

    If you bought €1 million worth In March you’d have more than €11 million today.

    Buy 20 million share of DITO at ₱1/share and sell at ₱14.5/share would get you a
    • 1,332.79% gain
    • ₱267,345,500 net profit
    • ₱287,345,500 total
    If you spent ₱10k/day you'll exhaust all that money by 11 September 2099

    When will DITO hit ₱20/share?

    If I had 10 million in April 2014 this is what I would do.

    [​IMG]

    Give or take 1 billion by this month.

    If January's unrealized were to occur would you cash out or stick it in there?

    I actually had to remove $MM as its % gains was too low relative to the other stocks I selected.

    Two stocks gave dividends, one is political stocks and the last was really cheap to buy and % gain was pretty awesome.

    Fantasy is really nice... imagine being that large of a share holder. A dividend so big that it's sufficient to cover you up to year 2100.

    I'm fine with being the fantasy largest independent shareholder of those companies. ;) Having four fantasy board seats is pretty sweet. Splitting my time among the 4 of them.

    Though I may have a fantasy conflict of interest with $FNI & $NIKL as these are the #2 and #1 nickle mining companies in PH. So maybe $MM would have been a better substitute to $FNI?
    • #3 Telco company
    • #1 mining company
    • #1 clean energy company
    • #2 supermarket-specific company
    Hopefully I get a fantasy dividend of $20 million/year.

    Mm..Converge finally turned positive since ipo. 18.72 today. Yay!

    Trimmed half my position to lock in some profits.

    Doing well with MEG and BPI. Almost escaping the massive ipit on AGI. Bought a lot at 5.50 to average down my position from18.00 a few years ago. Now it is at 10.80. A few more and I m out of AGI.

    Foreign funds are still out of the market. We are not enjoying the run up from neighboring bourses. Ignore mode ang hot money. Until they come back, we are range-bound.

    DITO shares bought at less than 3.33/share will become 20.xx/share by March

    A classmate I was helping with stock trading kept sending me bad news about DITO going down. So I sold at 10.xx/share when 2021 low was 10.70/share

    If I held onto it onto March I would gotten a 500% gain.

    If I bought 10m shares of DITO at 1.00/share last March 2020 and sold all at 20.xx/share I'd net 198.21m
