5 things to avoid when investing in stocks

November 6, 2021


Take control of your investments by watching out for these mistakes and tendencies


 
No matter what the season, investments are always a good idea. You’ll want to grow the money you have by making it work for you, and one of the most common ways to do that is investing in stocks.
But before you start pouring your money into different stocks in the market, it’s best to make sure you know exactly what you’re doing. Stories of people making profits with large one-way bets and winning moves in the market make investing sound easy and effortless, but the truth is, successful investing comes from a lot of patience and research. 
You must try to avoid certain tendencies and temptations when investing. It’s easy to lose control and even easier to lose a lot of your finances when you overextend yourself in the market. Fortunately, EastWest FVP and Head of Trust and Asset Management Group, Raul Victor de Guzman, is all too familiar with these investing mistakes with his extensive experience in the field. “You may think you’re right, but the market is never wrong,” says de Guzman. 
He shares five common mistakes to watch out for in order to improve your chances of success when investing, especially if you’re quite new to the stock market.

Mistake Number 1: You let your emotions decide
It’s really easy to panic or get greedy whenever you look at the market at any given time. It could result in quickly selling losing stocks or holding on to winning stocks longer than you should. Doing so might minimize your profits. It’s best to be rational and steady your hand. “When investing, you should be very objective and call a spade a spade” advises de Guzman. “Never fall in love with your stock position.”

Mistake Number 2: You don’t understand what a company does
While you can technically invest in any company listed on the market, it’s also your responsibility to understand what the company does and how they make money. Not doing this due diligence can end up in a lot of wasted investments, costing you your hard-earned money. De Guzman suggests that you should be at least able to understand the industry that the company is operating in and be able to explain how the company is making money before you begin investing in it.

Mistake Number 3: You don’t diversify
The best portfolio is a diversified portfolio. As long as you have the resources, it’s always a good idea to spread them out over various issuers, sectors and even asset classes. Depending on how much time you can spend monitoring and managing your own portfolio, as a general rule, try not to invest more than 5% to 10% of your money to any one investment. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” says de Guzman. “Collect, then select.”

Mistake Number 4: You overdiversify
Although diversification could be good for your portfolio, overdoing it may hurt your long-term returns. The trick is knowing enough about the market so that you can make strategic investment plays that would generate consistent returns over time. “Too much of a good thing can’t be all that good,” says de Guzman.

Mistake Number 5: You’re not patient
A lot of stories of investment wins seem to promise a lot of money in a short period of time, but that’s actually the exception to the rule. Getting good returns on your investments take a lot of time, and anyone who promises you a get-rich-quick scheme is usually a recipe for disaster.

"All great things take time and commitment to build,” says de Guzman. “When investing, the amount of time you spend in the market is better than trying to time the market and pick the market highs and lows. Rome was not built in a day." 
Fortunately, you don’t have to make your investment decisions alone. A bank like EastWest has experts and advisors who can help you reclaim your life and help manage your finances by investing the right way. EastWest can help you choose a diverse set of investment products which are consistent and suitable with your risk profile and designed to make your money work for you to generate the returns you deserve.

TECNO’s ‘Movie Master’ CAMON 18 Premier Receives International Certifications from TÜV Rheinland

November 3, 3021


TECNO CAMON 18 Premier, which launches in November, bagged two international certificates from TÜV Rheinland - Low Blue Light (Hardware solution) for eye protection and Safe Fast-charge Systems. 

 Premium smartphone brand, TECNO Mobile, recently announced that its latest smartphone to be released in November, the “Movie Master” CAMON 18 Premier, has received two new internationally recognized TÜV Rheinland certifications for Low Blue Light (Hardware solution) and Safe Fast-charge Systems, respectively. This will provide consumers with better eye protection, and ensure safety of fast charging for long-time phone usage.



The negative damage to eyes caused by blue lights from computer and mobile screens has become a heated topic in recent years, especially with increasing hours of smartphone usage in daily life among heavy phone users, including teenagers and children. According to various industry research, blue light penetrates all the way to the retina, and too much exposure to blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina and may even lead to permanent vision loss. While blue light can technically be found everywhere, it is most excessively present in computer and phone screens, as well as fluorescent and LED lights. TECNO’s CAMON 18 Premier, with its Low Blue Light Certification from TÜV Rheinland, aims to be a smartphone that provides consumers with the best eye care possible.




TÜV Rheinland is a world leader in laboratory testing and product certification according to ISO, IEC, and other international standards. The TÜV Rheinland eye comfort certification is accredited by TÜV Rheinland for a variety of relevant technologies including low blue light and photo biological safety for smartphones. As a TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution) certificated product, CAMON 18 Premier can shift the peak of blue light outside the range of 415nm-455nm, which is considered to be the strongest and potentially the most dangerous blue light wavelengths, to provide comfort for your eyes all day long and reduce overall power consumption. To make sure that no compromises were made to the display of the CAMON 18 Premier, wide color gamut testing was conducted to ensure that users can enjoy both low blue light for eye protection and vivid colors.



Along with the eye protection from Low Blue Light, a safe fast-charging system will provide consumers with a worry-free smartphone experience with fast, efficient, and reliable charging, while sustaining the phone’s battery life. With 33W flash charge, the CAMON 18 Premier promises more than 64% in just half an hour, and a full charge in under 68 minutes. 

TECNO is a rising star of international smartphones, and the brand is designed to serve young consumers from global emerging markets who will never stop pursuing better opportunities for the future. With “Stop At Nothing” as its brand essence, TECNO is committed to unlocking the best contemporary technologies for these progressive individuals, giving them stylishly designed products that inspire them to uncover a world of possibilities.

With its soon-to-launch CAMON 18 smartphone series, TECNO makes it possible for all Filipinos to experience mobile technological innovations that can help improve the way they work, learn, play, and live, at a fraction of the price offered by other brands. CAMON 18 is already being called the “Movie Master”, and CAMON 18 Premier’s Stabilized Gimbal Camera is definitely a feature to watch out for. Through this latest offering, TECNO Mobile stays true to its commitment to bring innovation to global emerging markets, as the premium smartphone brand for all. 

The pre-order period for CAMON 18 Premier with Stabilized Gimbal Camera is from November 6-10, 2021, while pre-order for CAMON 18 and CAMON 18P with ultra clear and steady camera is from November 6-19, 2021. The CAMON 18 Series will be available online via the TECNO Mobile PH Official Store in Shopee Mall, TECNO Mobile Flagship Store in Lazada, Kimstore, MemoXpress, Rulls, Ephone Shopee, Ephone Lazada, and Wirecomm.

Enjoy exciting pre-order benefits when you purchase your CAMON 18 from the official TECNO Mobile Stores on Lazada and Shopee during the pre-order period. There will also be a Spin & Win Activity at the TECNO Mobile Official Store on Shopee beginning November 7, where you can win discount vouchers to use when you shop.

LG Philippines launches #LGStyler for Complete Clothing Care

November 1, 2021

Coming into the second year of the pandemic, cleanliness and safety is still the number one priority for families. Even as vaccinations are slowly rolled out, nothing beats preparedness in keeping sickness at bay. Worldwide innovators, such as LG, have been hard at work to provide tools to help in the new normal. Its newest product, the LG Styler, is designed to keep clothes fresh and clean without needing to launder it excessively. 





LG Brand Ambassador Stephanie Zubiri


In a recent online event, LG introduced the Styler to the local market. Hosted by LG Brand Ambassador Stephanie Zubiri, the event showcased the different uses the LG Styler has for individuals from all walks of life. LG envisions the Styler as the future of wardrobe management, especially with the Philippines’ unpredictable weather. Normal clothes are easy to wash, but some, such as outerwear like jackets, or dresses with fragile fabric, are a different story. This is where the LG Styler comes in.



With the Styler, all you need to do is put your clothes inside and it’s good as new in minutes - no fuss and definitely, no damage. You can also do this to shake off wrinkles and odors. You can take care of suits, dresses, sweaters and more with the touch of a button, so you and your clothes will always look at your best. Shake off odors, leaving your clothes fresh and clean. You don’t have to worry about special fabrics. The LG Styler prevents shrinkage and damage courtesy of its Heat-Pump Technology. Gently dry clothes that require special care without worrying about shrinkage or damage. No more dampness or accidental damage - only fresh, clean clothes as they were meant to be.

Victor Basa, actor and fashion Blogger 


During the event, event host Stephanie, who’s a mom and a journalist, shared how she loves using Styler to sanitize her kid’s stuffed animal toys. She interviewed Victor Basa and Dra. Vicki Belo who both shared their unique perspective on how the Styler helps them at home and at work. Victor, actor and fashion blogger, appreciates great clothing and the transformative power they possess. “I have these prized menswear pieces that really make you feel good wearing, a custom suit, Italian bespoke trousers, heirloom barong, and they all deserve the proper care and longevity. The LG Styler is definitely a game changer. I often have to bring out my seldom used clothes like my barong out of the closet for my hosting gigs and so I don't need to get out for dry cleaning! It’s like having your own valet or gentleman’s gentleman at home, specifically responsible for my clothes. It also looks great in my interior because of the reflective mirror finish and sleek design.” 


Dr. Vicki Belo, Belo Medical Group founder and medical director 


While Dra. Vicki Belo, founder and medical director of Belo Medical Group, the pioneer and number one medical aesthetic clinic in the country, was elated with her new home dream machine and all it’s amazing features. “I’m obsessed! Thanks to LG Philippines for bringing it here. I saw it in Milan around 3 years ago. The first thing I loved about it is the ease of use! I’m not that techie so this one I can easily operate after unboxing. I also like the fact that you can practically use it every day. We wear PPEs as doctors in Belo clinics so as soon as I remove it, pasok agad in the Styler. It feels as if I have a whole new wardrobe in my walk-in closet because I have a lot of delicate items that I wouldn’t wear as often, like the couture dresses, so now I can freshen them all up. Also, lahat na we wanna put inside the LG Styler, and not just the clothing, even the stuffed toys of Scarlett.” The one-of-a-kind appliance can effectively prolong the life of not only clothes but a whole variety of household items.

At the core of Styler is the patented LG TrueSteam™ technology, which eliminates over 99.9 percent of the germs and bacteria found in clothing and toys and is approved as asthma and allergy friendly® by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). Clothes placed on the moving hangers shake out wrinkles and unpleasant odors while the Gentle Dry cycle removes moisture quickly and thoroughly. Heat Pump Drying reduces energy consumption by recycling heat from the hot, moist air inside Styler, and Pants Crease Care creates a crisp crease-line without an iron. 


Laureen Uy, fashion blogger 




In addition, style icon and fashion+travel blogger Laureen Uy with 1M followers on Instagram posted about how amazing is her new LG Styler. Representing a new way to care for her designer clothes and other accessories, the Styler boasts many practical uses and thoughtful features including a mirror-like finish that fits her snazzy space and chic personality. 





Aside from being functional, it’s sleek, stylish, and blends well with any interior. Whether you’re living by yourself or with a family, the LG Styler is a key piece in anyone’s wardrobe. With it, you can refresh clothes in the comfort of your home. From unpleasant smells, harmful pollutants, dripping wet, wrinkles, seasonal clothes and even difficult to clean items - effortlessly remove them quickly and effectively at your home. 

LG also remains committed in providing smart solutions for its appliances. The Styler can be controlled using your smartphone. ThinQ™ app lets you operate or monitor precious garments from anywhere, anytime. You can use Cycle Download to add newly developed care cycles.


L-R: Sungjae Kim, LGEPH managing director, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, Young Park, LGEPH product director for Air Sol


Knowing the need to efficiently eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses in the community, LG recently donated Styler and Wearable Air Purifiers and more than 2000 hygiene kits to the local government of Pasig City through Mayor Vico Sotto. LG has always been a long and ardent supporter of the LGU where the LGEPH headquarters is located. Over the past months, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, LG also donated washing machines, refrigerators and digital signage displays to help out city frontliners and its constituents. 


Sungjae Kim, LGEPH managing director 



Seungjae Kim, LG Philippines’ Managing Director, shares his piece on how the LG Styler can benefit Filipino families and the community. “The LG Styler provides a fast and easy way of disinfecting your clothes, which is crucial in the time of COVID. It helps keep you and your family safe. It is also a perfect addition to any household, whether you’re living alone or with a family. We also believe that the CSR initiatives we have done, including the recent Styler donation will make a difference in helping out Pasig City’s civil servants.”

Shopee Introduces Audio and Video Call Feature on Shopee Live to Elevate Seller Engagement for the 11.11 - 12.12 Big Christmas Sale

November 1, 2021


Sellers now have more ways to interact with Filipinos shoppers online 


Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, continues to push for innovations that aim to improve the e-commerce experience for both the seller and consumer. With sellers preparing for some of the biggest holiday sales of the year such as Shopee’s 11.11 - 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, Shopee introduces the ‘Livestream Call’ feature on Shopee Live to enhance customer experience and improve engagement during a live stream session. During a livestream call, sellers can entertain inquiries via audio or video call while other viewers listen in. 

Shopee Live has been a go-to for sellers on Shopee to connect with users and attract more sales. With the pandemic driving the digitalization of businesses, Shopee pushes for innovation that will help local MSMEs adapt to the evolving global retail landscape. E-commerce continues to gain momentum in the Southeast Asia region, with a projected value of US$132 billion by the end of 2021 - and it is expected to double after five years.  With more consumers turning to online platforms for their needs, entrepreneurs strive to adopt digitalization to sustain their businesses and capture opportunities in the new digital economy.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “The needs of our sellers are always evolving, and we are committed to providing the necessary tools for them to improve their methods of engaging with shoppers. As more shoppers turn to livestream to learn about brands, products and interact with sellers, we are glad that the new Shopee Live features will also enhance their shopping experience. We will continue to innovate and make improvements on existing tools to support the growth of businesses on Shopee.”

Shopee launched several initiatives that aim to further improve the overall e-commerce experience for sellers and shoppers with Shopee Live. Earlier this year, Shopee rolled out the co-streaming feature which allowed live stream hosts to co-stream with one of their viewers for a more interactive streaming session. The Livestream Flash Sale was also introduced to help sellers gain more viewers and boost their sales during streaming sessions on Shopee Live. With this, sellers can promote their discounted products, attract more views, and boost orders during a live stream. The In-app Business Insights features gave live streamers access to the number of unique and total views, total likes, and confirmed orders from the live stream, letting streamers gauge what their audience wants.

11.11 - 12.12 Big Christmas Sale 
Shopee continues to bring more joy to Filipinos with the Shopee 11.11-12.12 Big Christmas Sale happening today until December 12, 2021. Shoppers can enjoy over two months’ worth of exciting promos such as ₱1 deals, free shipping with no minimum spend, and 10% off daily vouchers at Shopee's biggest sale of the year.
