   Hi,

   Paano naman po if instead of Bid price yung kukunin mo is yung ask price? same procedure lang po ba? but this time mas mabilis? And with regards po sa board lot, fix po ba yun? or may chance na magbago din sya?

   Thanks.

   Hi Omeng. This tutorial is sooo easy to understand and is really very helpful for newbies like me. I was trying to download a copy but couldn’t… Grateful if you can send a copy of this ppt presentation to my email please so I can follow it step-by-step when I place my first stock orders. Thanks so much in advance!

         Hi Grace, you cannot compare it. Mutual Fund is an investment instrument. Another investment instrument is stocks.
         To Trade means to buy (and later sell) an investment instrument – meaning you can “do trading” with both stocks and mutual fund.
         You can learn more about difference of Philippine mutual funds and stock market here.

    Sir Omeng, do I have to wait for days before po mag reflect sa COL account ko ang money na i’ve deposited? I’ve deposited 5k to open a starter account last week. I really wanted 25k to be my initial investment. So I deposited 20k today. How many days po will I have to wait? Also, how do you determine the bidding price?

    Hello po Sir Omeng, Im reading about your blog for quite sometime now..gaining as much knowledge before I test the water.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to common people like us.. and I have question..I was confused about the “MATCHING” part. Do our orders need to be matched? how about if it is just partially matched or remain unmatched? Will it affect our order? Thank you

          Sir Omeng,based on your tutorial video on buying stocks.You look at the bid price of the stocks and you chose the highest Bid price which you put it on your order.But upon viewing other tutorial video on youtube done by j3 Patino and Manny Villoria they look at the Ask price and from that ask price value they chose it to put on the order amount price to buy,which is a conflict on your video..Maybe I’m not on a right perspective here..So I ,just want to clarify it and I’m glad to see your feedback here.Thanks a lot 🙂

    Edison Ugale Jr you can use the off-hour (O-H) option available in COL's menu. ATO (at-the-opening) and ATC (at-the-closing) means you'll use the market opening and closing prices respectively in your order.

    @ian
    If your order didn't match, then it's just like nothing happened.
    you can post new orders on the next trading day.

    if partially matched, then you only have that partial transactions done.
