Have you ever asked yourself, "What is stock?" Do you ever wonder what
it feels like in investing your excess cash or savings to the stock market? Have you
ever tried to become a shareholder of a company, well-known or not? Did you tried
to browse what it would be like when you invested or purchased stocks in a stock
market? Do you even know what the basics of stocks are? Well, this would
probably help you as a guide in your beginner’s journey in the stock market.
Stocks are said to be the shares held by the shareholders, the holder of the
stock certificate who has a claim to be a part of the corporation’s assets and
earnings. History has proven that investing in stocks has been one of the most
effective and efficient way for individuals to build wealth and raise their passive
income. Investing in stock is complex. Hence, stocks are still misunderstood by
some people. There are factors that must be taken into consideration before
investing in stocks such as the company where to invest and what type of stocks
to buy. Thus, stocks usually have two types: the common stock and the preferred
stock. When people talk about stocks, they are generally referring to the common
stock. In fact, great majority of sock is issued in this form. It represents a claim on
profits (dividends) and confers voting rights. On the other hand, preferred stock
usually doesn’t come with the voting rights. Also, they are given a guaranteed fixed
dividend unlike with the common stocks which give variable dividends that varies
along the profits or earnings of the corporation for a period.

PART I. STOCK INVESTMENT 101
The stock of a corporation is partitioned into shares, the total of which are
stated at the time of business formation. Additional shares may be authorized by
the existing shareholders and issued by the company. In some jurisdictions, each
share of stock has a certain declared par value, which is a nominal accounting
value used to represent the equity on the balance sheet of the corporation. In other
jurisdictions, however, shares of stock may be issued without associated par value.
Classes of Shares
A business may declare different types (or classes) of shares, each having
distinctive ownership rules, privileges, or share values. Ownership of shares may
be documented by issuance of a stock certificate.
2
A stock certificate is a legal document that specifies the amount of shares
owned by the shareholder, and other specifics of the shares, such as the par value,
if any, or the class of shares.
2. Preferred Stock – generally does not have voting rights, but has a higher
claim on assets and earnings than the common shares and is legally entitled
to receive a certain level of dividend payments before any dividends can be
issued to other shareholders. For example, owners of preferred stock
receive dividends before common shareholders and have priority in the
event that a company goes bankrupt and is liquidated.
Aside from those two classes of shares stated above that are of common
nature and both frequently used in investing in the stock market as the major
classes of shares of stock, there are still some categories or classifications of
shares of stock that one should be knowledgeable in order to have a background
and idea of what investing really means.

Different Types of Stocks and Stock Classifications
This is the most basic parameter for classifying stocks. In this case,
the issuing company decides whether it will issue common, preferred or hybrid
stocks. There are two different types of stock that investors can own. They
have different ownership rights and different privileges.
a. Common Stock
4
b. Preferred Stock
a. Blue-Chip Stocks

investments, they don’t have as much room to grow. This usually
results in steady stock prices, but less upside for investors. As a result,
historical returns for very large companies have trailed the returns of
smaller companies.
b. Income Stocks
c. Value Stocks
6
In other words, they are underpriced when compare to other
similar companies in the market. Sometimes this is a result of distress
or financial problems. Other times, it may be due to investor behavior
and cyclical trends.
d. Growth Stocks
3. Based on size
7
Investors usually categorize companies under one of these labels –
although there is not universal agreement on the exact cutoffs.
For this reason, many investors choose to allocate more of their portfolio to
small or mid cap stocks, also called a “tilt.” Again, this results in slightly more
risk.

How Are Stocks Created and Why Do They Exist?
Stocks exist for several reasons but among the most important are the following:
• Stocks allow companies to raise capital (money) to turn good ideas into
viable businesses, which ultimately benefits civilization. Without capitalism
and well-functioning capital markets, most of the modern comforts you take
for granted wouldn't exist or be available to you.
• Stocks provide a place for investors to potentially earn satisfactory returns
on capital that might allow them to achieve their financial goals more quickly
than they otherwise could.
• Stocks separate ownership from management, allowing those who have no
interest, ability, or time to run an enterprise to still participate economically
and through voting rights, resulting in a more efficient allocation of
resources, including human capital.

A stock market is a venue where buyers and sellers of shares meet and
decide on a price to trade. Some exchanges are physical locations where
transactions are carried out on a trading floor, but increasingly the stock exchanges
are virtual, composed of networks of computers where trades are made and
recorded electronically.
Stock markets are some of the important parts of today’s global economy.
Some countries around the world depend on a stock market for their economy’s
growth. Nowadays, stock markets have become the driving economic force in a
country.
The first genuine stock markets didn’t arrived until 1500s, however, there
are some markets that really exist which are similar to stock markets. For example,
it was found out that France had a system where couriers managed agricultural
debts throughout the country on behalf of banks. This can be seen as the first
major example of brokerage because the men effectively traded debts.
10
In addition to that, merchants of Venice, in later years, were credited with
trading government securities as early as the 13 th century. Soon after, bankers in
the nearby Italian cities of Pisa, Verona, Genoa and Florence also began trading
government securities.
Before investors yelled across trade floors and threw order forms into the
air, they conducted business in coffee shops. Early stocks were handwritten on
sheets of paper and investors traded these stocks with other investors in coffee
shops.
As the volume of shares that has been traded increased, the need for an
organized marketplace to exchange these shares became necessary. As a result,
stock traders decided to meet at a London coffeehouse, which they used as a
marketplace. Eventually, they took over the coffeehouse and, in 1773, changed its
name to the "stock exchange." Thus, the first exchange, the London Stock
Exchange, was founded. The idea made its way to the American colonies with an
exchange started in Philadelphia in 1790.
In other words, coffee shops were the first real stock markets due to the fact
that investors would visit these markets to buy and sell stocks. Before long,
somebody realized that the entire business world would be more efficient if
somebody made a dedicated market place where businessmen could trade stocks
without having to order a coffee or yell across a crowded café.
This how the stock markets formed as similar as today’s stock markets.
11
purpose was solely for governmental purposes and for arranging debts of the
country to some other countries. In other words, stocks are left unknown until 1817.
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has been created in 1817 which serves
as an important moment in the history. It has traded stocks since its’ very first day.
NYSE is one of the world’s leading equity markets and combined with the NYSE
Group family of exchanges, trades more U.S. equity volume than any other
exchange group.
However, contrary to what some may think, the NYSE wasn’t the first stock
exchange in the United States. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange holds that title.
But, NYSE became the most powerful stock exchange in the country due to the
lack of any type of domestic competition and its positioning at the center of U.S
trade and economics in the New York.
Nowadays, every country has its own stock market. Stock markets
can be found around the world and there’s a greater emphasis on the global
importance of the stock markets. Every day, trillions of dollars are traded on
stock markets around the world and they are truly the engine of the capitalist
world.
12
In around the world, there are lots of stock exchanges or stock
markets. Here are the top 10 stock markets in the world today ranked by market
capitalization:
2. NASDAQ
5. Euronext
In June 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted the
PSE a “Self-Regulatory Organization” (SRO) status, which meant that it can
implement its own rules and establish penalties on erring trading participants (TPs)
and listed companies.
13
The PSE implemented on March 25, 1994 an automated trading system
linking the two exchanges. The system resulted in a single trading price for all listed
securities and the consolidation of the Makati Stock Exchange and the Manila
Stock Exchange into the PSE. Stock trading activities are now conducted by the
PSE on two trading floors: one in Makati City and the other one in Pasig City.
In December 15, 2003, it has listed its own shares on the exchange and
traded under the ticker symbol PSE).

Stockbrokers are also classified into two: traditional brokers or online
brokers which will be discussed as follows:
The online brokers compete with the traditional brokers. The online brokers
offer lower costs, increased speed and a better guarantee of transparency and
anonymity. The only real advantage of traditional brokers is the gathering of
information. In online brokers, the time needed for traders to react to new
information is reduced. In traditional brokers, it’s advantageous in a manner that
they have the ability to collect and supply information, and that is what may make
their survival possible.
Figure 2 shows an online poll, conducted and closed on February 06, 2016
at exactly 04:26 am, which aims to know and identify which between traditional
broker and online broker is at of the preference of the investors.
The figure shows the preferences of the investors of whom between the two
types of brokers (traditional vs online) is more convenient to use and is more
helpful. Thus, online brokers got 95% while live brokers only got 5% of the total
who responded in the poll.
Individuals typically buy and sell shares through a licensed brokerage firm
or broker who makes the actual trade. Historically, stockbrokers were hired only
by wealthy individuals and families, but today a wide range of brokerages exist for
all price ranges.
15
So-called “full-service” brokers offer a suite of research, opinion, and expert
advice and can offer a personal relationship between the broker and the client.
However, there are clients who look for a brokerage firm that would give them
some services with respect to their budgets. In line with this, there are some
brokerages that offer and asking as low as Php5,000.00.
The following brokers are some of the brokers that are part of the list of
accredited online brokers in the Philippines:

3. Buy and sell stocks using your brokerage account.
Stock quotes obtained online are often real-time quotes that confer second-
by-second details, and online quotes also often include charts and interactive tools.
Stocks are quoted by their ticker symbol, for example, for Ayala Corporation (AC)
and for Megaworld Corporation (MEG).
Thus, the interpretations for every element of a stock table will be discussed
based on their respective columns as follows:
21
STOCK TABLE INTERPRETATIONS
Any financial paper has stock quotes that will look something like the image below:
Columns 1 & 2: 52-Week High and Low - These are the highest and lowest
prices at which a stock has traded over the previous 52 weeks (one year). This
typically does not include the previous day's trading.
Column 3: Company Name & Type of Stock - This column lists the name of the
company. If there are no special symbols or letters following the name, it
is common stock. Different symbols imply different classes of shares. For example,
"pf" means the shares are preferred stock.
Column 4: Ticker Symbol - This is the unique alphabetic name which identifies
the stock. If you watch financial TV, you have seen the ticker tape move across
the screen, quoting the latest prices alongside this symbol. If you are looking for
stock quotes online, you always search for a company by the ticker symbol.
Column 5: Dividend Per Share - This indicates the annual dividend payment per
share. If this space is blank, the company does not currently pay out dividends.
Column 8: Trading Volume - This figure shows the total number of shares traded
for the day, listed in hundreds. To get the actual number traded, add "00" to the
end of the number listed.
Column 9 & 10: Day High and Low - This indicates the price range at which the
stock has traded at throughout the day. In other words, these are the maximum
and the minimum prices that people have paid for the stock.
22
Column 11: Close - The close is the last trading price recorded when the market
closed on the day. If the closing price is up or down more than 5% than the previous
day's close, the entire listing for that stock is bold-faced. Keep in mind, you are not
guaranteed to get this price if you buy the stock the next day because the price is
constantly changing (even after the exchange is closed for the day). The close is
merely an indicator of past performance and except in extreme circumstances
serves as a ballpark of what you should expect to pay.
Column 12: Net Change - This is the dollar value change in the stock price from
the previous day's closing price. When you hear about a stock being "up for the
day," it means the net change was positive.
STOCK PRICES
The price of a stock represents the “value” of the corporation. At its most
basic level, this value is computed by dividing the value of the company, known as
the market capitalization (or “market cap”) by the number of shares outstanding.
For example, if ABC Corporation is valued at P1,000,000 and it has 100,000
shares outstanding, the price of each share is P10.00.
What does a company’s value represent? A company has stuff and sells
stuff. The stuff it has are buildings, machineries, patents, money in the bank, etc.
– constitutes its book value, or the amount of money a company would get if they
sold all the stuff at once.
Investment Gains. One of the primary benefits of investing in the stock market is
the chance to grow your money. Over time, the stock market tends to rise in
value, though the prices of individual stocks rise in value, though the prices of
individual stocks rise and fall daily. Investments in stable companies that are able
grow tend to make profits for investors.
23
They are the best way to stay ahead of inflation. Historically, stocks have
averaged an annual return of 10 percent. That's better than the average
annual inflation rate of 3.2 percent. It does mean you must have a longer
time horizon. That way, you can buy and hold even if the value temporarily
drops. (Source: "What Are the Advantages of Investing in Stocks for
Retirement?" CNN.) Compare stocks, inflation, and gold prices in Gold Price
History.
Easy to buy. The stock market makes it easy to buy shares of companies.
You can purchase them through a broker, a financial planner, or online.
Once you've set up an account, you can buy stocks in minutes. For more,
see How to Invest in Stocks.
You make money in two ways. Most investors intend to buy low and then
sell high. They invest in fast-growing companies that appreciate in value.
That's attractive to both day traders and buy-and-hold investors. The first
group hope to take advantage of short-term trends, while the latter expect
to see the company's earnings and stock price grow over time. They both
believe their stock-picking skills allow them to outperform the market. Other
investors prefer a regular stream of cash. They purchase stocks of
companies that pay dividends. Those companies grow at a moderate rate.
They are easy to sell. The stock market allows you to sell your stock at any
time. That's important if you suddenly need your cash in a hurry. Since prices
are volatile, you run the risk of being forced to take a loss.
24
Stockholders are paid last if the company goes broke. Preferred
stockholders and bondholders get paid first.
It requires a lot of time. You've got to research each and every company
to determine how profitable you think it will be before you buy stock. You've
got to learn how to read financial statements and annual reports, and follow
your company's developments in the news. You've also got to monitor the
stock market itself, as even the best company's price will fall in a market
correction, a market crash or bear market.
25
PART II. BEGINNER’S GUIDE IN STOCK INVESTMENTS
When you invest in the stock market, you would be thinking about the
steps required, necessary documents, account information, and a lot more.
Thus, it is difficult to purchase stocks in the market without the help of any
broker. As what have been discussed in this document, there are several
steps and requirements in applying for a broker. Further, the class chose an
online broker based on the poll or an online survey arriving to the 95% of
respondents who prefer to have an online broker rather than traditional or
live broker. Furthermore, it is inconvenient for students, like us, to have a
traditional or live broker because it will costs more fees, such as
transportation expenses when you had a meeting with your chosen broker,
coffee or food you’ll incur while waiting or when the meeting wasn’t started
yet due to some reasons, brokerage commission and so on.
26
requirements: at least 2 valid IDs with present address
and landline or postpaid numbers, proof of billing under
your name or barangay clearance with picture indicating
your present address with dry seal from the Barangay
where it was issued. (BDO)
a. Passport
b. Driver’s License ID Card with validated O.R
c. Philippine Postal ID
d. Voter’s ID card
e. Recent School ID with Registration Form
f. Government Service and Insurance System
(GSIS) Ecard
g. Social Security System (SSS) ID
h. Senior Citizen ID Card
i. Overseas Workers Welfare Administration

j. Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) ID
k. Seaman’s Book
l. Alien Certification of Registration (ACR)/
Immigrant Certificate of Registration (ICR)
m. Government Office and GOCC ID
n. Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) ID
o. Certification from the National Council for
the Welfare of Disabled Persons (NCWPD)
p. Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) Certification
q. Company ID’s issued by private entities or
institutions registered with or supervised or
regulated by the BSP, SEC or IC
r. Tax Identification Number (TIN) ID
s. Barangay ID
t. PhilHealth ID
27
As required by BDO, you have to bring with you your
money for payment of at least the maintaining balance required
to open a savings bank account. Particularly for Tagaytay-
Rotonda Branch, we paid Php 2,000.00 maintaining balance
plus Php 1,000.00 of extra funds just to make sure of the
continuance of the account.
ii. Next, you’ll just go directly to the nearest bank from your
place. We suggest BDO branch as compared to BPI
branch because it only requires you a maintaining
balance of Php 2,000.00 in contrast with Php 3,000.00 of
BPI’s maintaining balance for a savings account. When
you’re there, fill-up the necessary forms, including the
signature card, related party questionnaire (individual),
ATM Claim Stub (you’ll have to bring this with you in
claiming your ATM card), customer information record,
terms and conditions governing deposit accounts, and so
on.
iii. Right after, you’ll just have to present your valid IDs and
give your payment when asked. After some minutes, they
will give you the ATM Claim Stub, together with the
payment slip.
iv. Finally, you just have to wait for some working days until
you get your ATM card (may be delivered directly to your
address or may be obtained through going to the bank).
Now, you already have your savings bank account and
the account number will be used in filling-up the forms
required by Col Financial Group, Inc.
d. Next, fill-up the forms. Attached with the forms are your valid
IDs for presentment and verification of your identity.
e. You may send it directly to Col Financial Group, Inc. at their
head office or you may send it through couriers. In our case, we
send our documents through LBC – Ayala Serin Branch. If you
will do the same, they will give you the receptacle sticker with
from and to sections. For from section, you just have to write
your full name, complete address and contact number/s while
for to section, as per with the full name, write “Col Financial
Group, Inc.”, as per with complete address, write “24/F East
28
Tower, Philippine Stock Exchange Centre Exchange Road,
Ortigas Center, Pasig City, 1605 Philippines, and as per with
contact number/s, write “+632 651 5888”.
f. After 2-3 working days, you’ll be receiving an e-mail from Col
Financial Group, Inc. which tells you to have some time (2-3
minutes) for video call with their staff for processing of the data
received. You’re the one to set the date of the online interview
(video call). The date you will set should be 2-3 counting days
after your date of settlement (for example, you are about to
reply to their email on September 30, 2017, you must have to
put the date of interview as October 3 onwards. Note: You must
have to bring with you your school ID (for students) and/or valid
IDs.
g. Next, after the online interview, a message will be sent to your
e-mail which gives you your account number for final
processing.
h. Finally, you may proceed with funding of your account which
may be through online banking, over-the-counter and so on.
i. After 2-3 working days, they will send another message which
tells you your log-in information so you can now access your
COL account anytime and purchase or sell stocks without any
costs aside from the fees to be discussed in this document.

PART III. PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
tree a long time ago.” Around July of this year, our final output in Management
knowledge we have earned through a seminar. Majority of us don’t have that much
experience much less a clue on what stock investment is, so stock investing comes
had assigned different committees. One for food, logistics, research, registration
and the like. We assigned groups per week of who’s going to monitor the stock
became tactful in investing, until we did the activity. We never knew until then that,
stock prices drops because of many reasons, such as company scandals and
issues, interest rates fluctuating and the like. We absorbed so much about
investing that all of us has considered doing it in the future – and we hope through
the seminar we had done, the audience might feel the same.
Investing in stocks is one of the few things people can do to multiply their
money while still learning. It is one of the best ways to prepare for the future. As
30
what Warren Buffet stated in the quote above, if we prepare for the future, we can
put our minds at ease because we made ourselves ready. Investing in stocks is a

WEEKLY STOCK PERFORMANCE REPORT
This report is submitted on August 19, 2017 to give a detailed report and an
analysis of the performance of the stocks purchased by the fourth year students,
taking up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) and Bachelor of Science in
Accounting Technology (BSAT), as part of their final output in both subjects,
Management Accounting II and Financial Management II.
In line with this, the section planned to have groups in charge with
monitoring the stock performance within six weeks, until September 22, 2017.
Thus, in each group, they have a leader who will collect daily reports from his/her
groupmates and then, properly manage how to come up with the interpretations
and how to arrive at the required weekly stock performance report.
This stock report gives relevant information regarding the important matters
that affect the stock investment per week. Thus, this report, in particular, is for the
First week of Monitoring – August 14, 2017 to August 18, 2017
(Tuesday-Friday).

STOCK PERFORMANCE MONITORING
August 14, 2017 – August 18, 2017
First Week
Introduction
Starting from the month of July, the class started to research on the possible
companies where to invest in especially to the ones which will be worth investing
for. Everyone has different insights and opinions about their own preferred stock
investment. Therefore, it was hard for the class to come up with one or at least two
companies where the money will be put at. And since the class has to take into
consideration the available money for this investment which is only limited to
₱5,000, it made more difficult to choose which stock will be worthy to invest
in.
Having such confusion about which company to choose, the class came up
have chosen Filinvest Land Inc. (FLI), Double Dragon (DD), BDO Unibank (BDO)
and Jollibee Food Corporation (JFC) as the possible options for this investment.
The potential investors have three options. The first one will be Double Dragon
alone. The second will be the combination of Jollibee Food Corp. and Filinvest
Land Inc. And lastly, the combination of Jollibee and BDO Unibank. As a result of
the voting, majority of the class vote for JFC and FLI.
During the first day of the stock investment, the bid price of the FLI stocks
was ₱1.79 and JFC was ₱222. So, the class started to invest in FLI at a price of
33
₱1.79 at a board lot of 1000 shares. Also, as of that day, the price of the
stock of JFC has increased, therefore the investors loses its opportunity to
invest in this stock. As a result, only one investment was granted, which is
In this report, the stock performance of FLI for the first week starting from
August 14, 2017 to August 18, 2017 will be presented together with the stock table

stock of FLI because the stock price of other companies that the class would like
to invest in is still high compared to the minimum price it can be paid for.
The group has decided to retain the stock investment in FLI, considering
the possible change in the equity value if the stock would be sold to purchase
shares of stock from another company.

STOCK PERFORMANCE MONITORING
August 28, 2017 – September 1, 2017
Third Week
Introduction
Since we purchased the FilInvest Land Inc., it had performed outstandingly
and resulted into a gain in total account equity value of P5,020.20 as of the end of
2nd week of stock performance monitoring. As compared to our initial total account
equity value of P4,975.00, we had gained an amount of P45.17 which is
considerably high with respect to the stock’s fluctuation rate of .05%.
The first week became exciting, enjoyable and fun. Since it was our first
experience in handling stocks by ourselves only, or rather without any help of
traditional or live brokers, we had fun and gained memorable experiences. In the
first week of stock performance monitoring, the stock reached 1.93 and fell down
to 1.75, its highest and lowest value as of the first week. Thus, the total account
equity value risen up to P4,990.35, with a portfolio gain/loss of P15.32.
The second week became more exciting, enjoyable and fun. The stock
market value consistently risen up. As compared to the first week, it has a .01
difference in its highest stock value with 1.92 per share while its’ lowest stock value
climbed up to 1.83 per share. The stock performance during the second week of
the monitoring activity can be described as constantly improving. Our total account
equity value climbed up to P5,020.20, with a portfolio gain/loss of P45.17.
As of this week, the third week of stock performance monitoring activity, we
already experienced the buy-and-sell transaction. We sold our stock with FilInvest
Land Inc. at a market price of 1.91 per share and immediately purchased stock of
Double Dragon at a market price of 33.60 per share. The discussion of the third
week stock performance monitoring activity will be imparted through the remainder
of this paper.
Since the start, the section really want to purchase Double Dragon stock
because of the suggestions of other people, may it be in the internet or websites
or through the word-of-mouth. Also, the section decided to purchase Double
Dragon stock when its amount reaches the lowest value as of the month.
Based on our observation in our FLI stock, when the price of the stock turns
high, the value of our investment also turns high. However, due to its small
fluctuation rate, it increases minimal amount. This is the reason why we are
pursuing Double Dragon up until now. We want some change. We want our stock
investment to become higher so we decided to invest in a risky type of stock
investment.
43
Double Dragon has 0.05 fluctuation rate as compared to 0.01 fluctuation
rate of FilInvest Land, Inc (FLI).

As shown in the Table 4 and 4.1, the group decided to have buy-and-sell.
Since, the stock investment in FilInvest Land, Inc. turned 1.91 for two consecutive
days, we had resulted to sell it and purchase shares of stock of another company
to try for something riskier.
As of the week, FLI stock reached 1.93 as its highest price while its lowest
price is 1.89 for three consecutive days. Since Double Dragon, as compared to its
previous prices, it became 43.60, its lowest amount as of the month, we already
sold the FLI stock and immediately purchased DD stock.

51
Figure 7. Stock Performance – Fourth Week of Monitoring
Also, there had been minimal fluctuations in the stock prices and it is
favorable on our part as investors. Stock prices change every day as a result of
market forces. One of the reasons is because of supply and demand. If more
people want to buy a stock (demand) than sell it (supply), then the price moves up.
52
Conversely, if more people wanted to sell a stock than buy it, there would be
greater supply than demand, and the price would fall. The price of a stock doesn't
only reflect a company's current value, it also reflects the growth that investors
expect in the future.
The group has decided to retain the stock investment in Double Dragon
because the performance of DD was moderate. Although we incurred a loss, we
are expecting that the stock price of DD will to increase on following week.

STOCK PERFORMANCE MONITORING
September 11, 2017 - September 15, 2017
Fifth Week
Introduction
On the fourth (4th) week of monitoring, the shares in the Double Dragon
Corp. were purchased. It was chosen over the Filinvest (FLI). For the first week of
investing therein, it already incurred a loss. Everyone in class is hoping it will
recover from a loss, especially in the fifth week of monitoring its performance. But,
as expected from Double Dragon, it continuously incurred a loss until September
14. On the last day of monitoring, September 15, the Double Dragon provided a
gain. It is as if it has regained its confidence and has already recovered from certain
circumstances.
Why the Stock prices of Double Dragon did continuously goes down?
The Double Dragon provided certain cases when their stock prices
can be affected.
• News releases on earnings and profits and future estimated earnings
• Announcement of dividends
• Introduction of a new product or a product recall
• Securing a new large contract
• Employee layoffs
• Anticipated takeover or merger
• A change of management
• Accounting errors or scandals
• Stock prices can also fluctuate when they are publicly offered (IPO), and
corporations that issue the new stocks can dilute the shares and potentially
cause their value to drop.
Note: An initial public offering (IPO) is the first time that the stocks of a private company
are offered to the public. IPOs are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking
capital to expand, but they can also be done by large privately owned companies looking
to become publicly traded.
55
Connecting Explanations
The Double Dragon, led by Chairman Edgar “Injap” Sia II (founder of Mang
Inasal) and Co Chairman Tony Caktiong (founder of Jollibee), had a vision of
accumulating the 1million sq-m of leasable space by 2020 wherein 700 sq-m of it
was in market under its subsidiary City Mall, and 300 sq-m of it was in two offices
projects in Metro manila, particularly in DD Meridian Park in Bay and Jollibee
Tower in Ortigas. By 2020, it goal is to achieve the 5.5 billion net profits from 4.8
billion. During the operation, there have been a change of plans. Its goal, as of
now, is to accumulate 1.2 million sq-m leasing space by 2029.
In order to achieve this goal, the Double Dragon now decided to go further.
It’s not only attracting the local investors, but it also now attracts
foreign/international investors. In line with this going internationally, the Double
Dragon previously had a public offering which can be the reason of the fluctuations
of stock prices.
Table 8 and Figure 6 will provide the summarized information for the fifth
week of monitoring.

Table 6. Stock Table – Fifth Week of Monitoring
As shown in the Table 6, from the last day of monitoring of the fourth week
up to the fourth day of the fifth week (September 8- September 14), it can be seen
that the losses are continuously incurred, and at the last day of the fifth week of
monitoring, it finally had a gain.
56
Figure 8. Stock Performance – Fifth Week of Monitoring
The last four (4) days of the fifth week, (from sept. 11- sept. 14), we are
hoping for a recovery from loss. During sept. 15, the stocks prices of DD opened
for 39.85. it’s highest and lowest prices were 41 and 38.9 respectively, but it closed
for 40. During the opening of stock market, the DD already incurred a positive day
change of .15, which is good news for us investors.
57
CONCLUSIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS
After the fifth week of monitoring the stock prices of Double Dragon & Co.,
the members of the Group 5 can conclude that investing in stock market is really
a gamble. No one can tell when it will incur a loss, or a gain, or when it will be
stable. We, the investors learned that it is good, once in a while, to hold on and
wait, even though the results we’re receiving aren’t that good. It is for the reason
that we can never know what will happen until we do it and experience it. In line
with this, it is concluded, as for the perspective of investing in stocks, that a sudden
loss is not a signal to give up on your investment (provided it doesn’t reach your
allowable loss percentage), but a time to give chance for the company you’ve
invested to recover from sudden changes and circumstances that has happened
in the company and its environment.

For the succeeding weeks
Over the past weeks that we have invested in and monitored the stock
market, we learned how investing in certain companies can be risky and proper
research about the companies are detrimental before buying stocks. Double Dragon
is one of the companies that are very risky in stock investing. It gains rapidly in a
large amount of price and in contrast, it also drops in a big price. Students had
already experienced gaining a bigger amount of profit but on the other hand, we also
experienced continuous losses for the consecutive weeks. Students are still hoping
even though they incur losses, they are expecting that they will obtain profit from it.
For us, it is not all about the money that we should consider in investing stocks but
also, we want to experience not only gaining profit but also, to experience some

CONDUCTING A SEMINAR
“Don’t work for money, Let your money work for you”, a striking quotation in
the seminar held on October 21, 2017 at St. John Paul Conference Hall in
Rogationist College. The Seminar was facilitated by the Bachelor of Science in
Accountancy and Accounting Technology (BSA/T 701) Students in corroboration
with its theme: “Resourceful Mind Yields Lifetime Credit”. The seminar aims to

Present in the event were Mr. Mher Anthony A. Ampo, MA the Business
Science Cluster (BSC) Head, Mr. John Rick Gatdula, CPA, Accounting Professor,
and Ms. Anjelyn Hernando, CPA, the facilitators’ adviser in Stock Investment.
There were 24 participants who attended the event which came from
different clusters in Rogationist College and outsiders.
This seminar is all about the introduction and basics of stock investing and
also the personal experiences that students encountered before, during and after
the actual stock investment. The objective of the seminar was to give the exposure
and understanding of stock investment to the students and was introduced to
students for participation.
Investing in the stock market is very much like any other businesses where
you buy a product to sell to someone else at a profit. Too many investors treat their
stock market investing more like gambling at the casino. Successful and profitable
investors know the difference. The stock market is a great equalizer where people
with small amounts of money can earn the same way that the big time players do.
It does not matter how much you start with if you use sound business techniques
for your investing. What does matter is how you make your investing funds work
for you. While knowing the basics and strategies from the seminar, participants are
encouraged to research and start investing. This seminar will take the attendees
to make them feel like they are on the business setting where they can actually
decide just like buying and trading of stocks in the market. From having no idea
67
into a business minded one, participants will gain knowledge and confidence as
they learn how to design and strategize their stock investments. This seminar will
teach them on how to think like a business owner and not a speculator, different
important factors that should be considered before, during and after stock
investing, introduction about stocks, how you will benefit, and more.
The seminar started with an opening prayer inspired by the video of Five
Loaves and Two Fishes, led by Ms. Felicia Paula Satparam, then followed by the
opening remarks of the Program Chair of Business Science Cluster, Mr. Mher
Anthony A. Ampo, MA, introduced by the masters of the ceremony, Ms. Cristine
Abela and Ms. Ara Aterrado, who gave a wonderful and inspiring message and
introduction about stock investing, and after that, the seminar proper begun. The
first speakers are Ms. Jesilyn Chavez and Ms. Sherlene Yap wherein they
introduce the terms and basics of stock investment. Participants at first doesn’t
have any idea about it. But eventually, they asked the speakers on what part they
are not cleared with it. Speakers also presented videos related to their topics for
additional information. Questions are being entertained after the discussing the
topics. Secondly, Ms. Rensie Mae Garcia and Ms. Michelle Alvarez were the next
speakers that tackled about understanding more on stocks. The speakers
continued to discuss the first part of the seminar and deepen the understanding
towards stocks and other terms. After the first half of the program, Ms. April
Bornalo, Ms. Jenica Vidallo and Ms. Ederlyn Cabeltes were the leaders for the
Chicken dance that served as the energizer of the participants to prevent boredom
from listening to the seminar. After that active dance number, snacks are given
and the second half of the program started as well. The third speakers are MS.
Krissia Dimailig and Ms. Hydee Deligero wherein they discussed about the basics
in stock investing. They even encouraged the participants to invest in the stock
market and presented the importance of investing their excess cash in purchasing
stocks. The speakers actively interacted to the participants. They frequently ask
questions to them about the topic. They are also scenarios in which participants
were involved in decision making for stock investment. Speakers used different
68
quotes and sayings as their way of inspiring and encouraging people to invest on
stock market.
After that wonderful talk, they have a simple yet exciting ice breaker for the
participants called “Ahasin mo ako”. It is the common game rock-paper-scissor but,
participants need to provide one peso and this will be given to the winning player.
In our case, the BSA/T 701 provided one peso for each participant. It is called
“Ahasin mo ako” because all the players who lost in the game will go at the back
of the player who won until all the players will go at the back of the winner. This
game is like investing on sticks wherein you will sacrifice an amount of money to
invest and you will use strategies to win the game. Mr. Redickson Loriaga was the
winner and he won 30 pesos.
Finally, the last speakers are Ms. Nicole Lamagan and Ms. Kendy Salazar
wherein they present the actual processes and personal experiences of the
students on stock investing.
After the talk, Ms. Anjelyn Hernando, CPA, the professor of the subject,
Management Accounting 2 and Financial Management 2 of the BSA and BSAT
Students, gave an inspiring and marvelous closing remarks wherein she
expressed her deepest gratitude to the participants for attending the seminar and
most especially, congratulated the students for a great job on conducting the
seminar. The masters of the ceremony presented and awarded the certificate of
appreciation for the participants and gave the evaluation forms to assess the whole
program. And after that, the food and registration committees gave foods to the
participants before leaving the venue.
The conference hall was filled with laughter and learning which were
brought by the speakers who have discussed about the basics of stock investment,
the considerations, steps in investing, the tips on a successful investment,
managing risk in investment, as well as the actual journey of the class (BSA/T 701)
on their Stock investment.
