I agree on the insights of most people that investing in
stock market is very risky. This was mainly due to the volatility and unpredictability
of the stocks prices in the stock market.
Most investors who have been
successful in the stock market investments understand very well these behaviors
of the stock prices. Their success was largely correlated to their profound
knowledge of the stock market behavior capped by the scientific methods and
techniques they have employed to predict the market trends and volatility to
work to their advantage.
Most people who were unsuccessful in the stock market investing were people who don’t understand these nature of the stock market. They have relied solely on their
intuition to predict and guess the outcome of every trend of the stock prices.
For novice investors who wanted to invest in stocks, one of
the simplest and best way to start investing in the stock market is to invest in equities which
gives regular dividends to its shareholders. Receiving dividend for your stock
shares is like receiving an interest with your deposit with a bank. However,
the stocks you must invest into must have a very strong financial fundamentals
and proven track record of regular dividend payout.
In the Philippine Stocks Exchange, among the top seven (7) securities
which gave regular dividend payout to its shareholders are the following:
- Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (TEL)
- Dividend History
- Semirara Mining Corporation (SCC)
- Dividend History
- Globe Telecom, Inc. (GLO)
- Dividend History
- Aboitiz Power Corporation (AP)
- Dividend History
- Aboitiz Equity Venture (AEV)
- Dividend History
- Universal Robina Corporation (URC)
- Dividend History
- DMCI Holding, Inc. (DMC)
- Dividend History
These companies have weathered and gone through the worst financial
crisis that swiped the stock market. Among those noted is the 1998 financial
crisis.
Steered by the best managers in the industry and the ability to
diversify to cope with the challenges brought by the changing times, these
companies will surely give its shareholders modest returns for their hard-earned PISO through dividends
yearly.
