“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the
LORD, plans to prosper you and NOT to harm
you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
You will be the head and not the tail. You will
lend to many nations, but you will not have to
borrow from any. Excerpt from Deut. 28
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will
crown your efforts with success. Excerpt from
Proverbs 3:6

where your money is working hard for you (stock
market).

a very common misconception. (A Little Extra: Bo

13. 
I want to be a part-owner of Jollibee.

I can’t go to the owner and tell him I
want to be one of his partners.


By investing in stock market, I can do
that!
That’s how stock market works, we buy
shares of stocks and when they make profit,
we’ll have our share of money too (profitsharing)!

14. There are 2 ways to earn from the
stock market:


Capital Appreciation
Price (per share) of Jollibee last 2010 was
Php 47.50, today’s price is Php 125.00
Dividends
Ayala Land, Inc. issues Php 0.50 dividend
per share.
Between the two, capital appreciation is
a major way to earn in stock market.

15. Assumption is you purchased Jollibee shares last 2010
and you leave it for 3 years. That’s it.
