Top Three Investment Lessons for Beginners in the Philippines: Our Insights


#1 A part of all I earn is mine to keep.

PAY YOURSELF FIRST is the more direct version of this statement. The first step to investing is to accumulate capital or equity. One approach to achieving this is through a savings program. The advice from the book Richest Man in Babylon is to save 10% of our cash inflows in preparation for the next lesson: investing.


#2 To be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.

Warren Buffet is one of the most successful investors in the world and is often quoted for his nuggets of wisdom about investing. Our second lesson is lifted from his 1986 Letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. In application, we are now adopting, as our overall investing principle, of buying stocks when others are selling, and selling our stock position when others are buying.


#3 The mind could produce anything the mind could conceive and believe.

Our third lesson teaches us to have a plan first to guide our investment decisions. Everything starts with the plan. And plans are conceived in our minds. The first step to reaching our investment goal is to formulate an investing strategy of some kind that we believed in and that we could hold on to persistently until we succeed.

Marginal Investor Notes

This article was first published in March of 2009. However, we would like to inform you that we have changed the name of our blog to "The Starter Investor" as of April 5, 2023, to eliminate any ambiguity surrounding the term "marginal" in the realm of stock trading. We encourage you to read our revised "About Us" page.


This blog seeks to provide a comprehensive exploration of the concept of marginal investors and the valuable lessons they can teach us. The term "marginal" is defined by the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary as being close to the lower limit of qualification, acceptability, or function, or barely exceeding the minimum requirements, among other definitions. In the context of this blog, marginal investors are those who are on the verge of financial hardship but are leveraging their circumstances as a catalyst for achieving financial freedom.


Our focus extends beyond savers or stock traders to encompass the wider category of investors, who are committed to building wealth through intelligent investments. We aim to gain a deep understanding of the rhythmic swing of the universal pendulum, which is in perpetual motion, and how it influences the financial markets.


Although we strive for a fresh start in all areas of our lives, we recognize that our Online Trading Cycle Strategy continues to be a fundamental principle of our approach. This cycle serves as a model that illustrates the correlation between risk, return, and liquidity in investments and is crucial to comprehend how to construct an effective investment portfolio.

In essence, this blog is a meticulous examination of investing, exploring the principles and insights that can be utilized to attain financial prosperity. By grasping the interplay between risk, return, and liquidity, we strive to furnish our readers with the requisite knowledge to make informed investment decisions and achieve their financial goals.
