How it all started


I enrolled in the elective subject, Investment and Portfolio Management for my MBA-Regis degree in Ateneo Graduate School of Business (http://www.gsb.ateneo.edu/index.php?p=367). As a course requirement, our Professor, Mr. Lito Biacora, instructed our class to invest in any stocks from the PSE. (I attached the picture of our class taken during our culmination lunch.)
After doing some research of the different online stock brokers, i decided to invest with Citiseconline (http://www.citiseconline.com/) because of the comprehensiveness its site. I bought shares from EPCI (now BDO) prior to the announcement of the acquisition of Banco de Oro. I immediately made a return of almost 10% in less than a month after the merger announcement. This encouraged me to get into stock market investment until it made me decide to borrow more funds to add to my investment. Thats how I started margin trading.
