I have more than 15yrs experience in investing in Philippine stock market, unit investment trust funds, and mutual funds. I also trade forex and CFDs. I am also a financial advisor.

When I started investing, there are very few references similar to this blog. In my small way, i wanted to share my experiences by combining classical approaches to modern technologies. Mixing both my interests in personal finance and behavioral economics. Insights would come from my engineering, management background, and readings.

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham (Book Recommendation)

The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham as my first read book for 2013 is a fusion of my interests in non fiction books and stocks. For the past 8 years of monitoring PSE, valuations were never been as high as the past year and early this year which should trigger better research and understanding "Mr. Market".Graham teaches strategies for both aggressive and defensive investors, balancing portfolio thru common stocks and bonds, cost averaging, reading and comparing financial statements which proves the comment of Warren Buffet "This is by far the best book on investing ever written."

Pixar’s Inside Out and the Stock Market

Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (Book Recommendation)

"Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman introduced two fictitious characters in this book, the intuitive system 1, which does the fast thinking, and the effortful and slower system 2, which does the slow thinking, monitors system 1, and maintains control as best it can within its limited resources. Kahneman presented the use and limitations of each system thru research and experiments. System 1 reminds us of the Gladwell's "Blink" and their limitations touches by Taleb's "The Black Swan". It took me long time to finish this book to absorb the essence of each chapter especially in economics, risk management, and investments.
