Can you believe three months have passed and the 1st quarter of the year 2017 is over?
Yes, time indeed flies fast and it’s now April and we’re already in a brand new quarter!
Let’s revisit what happened in Philippine stocks in the first quarter of the year.
PSEi vs. your Stocks Portfolio: Panalo o talo ka?
The 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) ended in positive territory, booking a decent +7.0% increase in the first three months of the year.
That means if you just invested in the index, your P10,000 would have earned you a return of P700.
Not bad, given a very unpredictable and sometimes chaotic daily trading in the past months.
How does your portfolio compare? Panalo o talo ka ba?
