How stock markets ‘crash’
Many experienced investors do not understand the trading and pricing system of a stock market. In this ignorance, they do not understand how a stock market can suddenly go down or up by a large percentage.
What are the financial markets responding to?
April 11 ended with the peso going back to 49.58, while the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) reached 7,601.40. At these levels, the peso has already appreciated by 1 percent and the PSEi has gained 11.4 percent year-to-date. Just about two weeks ago, investors have been jittery over the sideways and lackluster movement of the PSEi and the seeming freefall of the peso toward 51. What is happening with the financial markets? Usually, they move in relation to economic and political news. The most recent economic data that came out points to some weakening to the otherwise strong growth performance last year. Specifically, unemployment rate for January 2017 rose to 6.6 percent of the labor force, up from 4.7 percent posted in October 2016 and from the 5.7 percent in January 2016. Inflation, meantime, reached 3.4 percent, the highest in the last 30 months. The peso breached 50 to $1 in mid-February and the recent pronouncement of Credit Suisse that the country’s current account is reaching deficit levels and that could lead the peso to breach 51 in 12 months.

Dow 20,000: What does it mean and where does it go?
With the Dow Jones industrials above 20,000, it’s natural to ask what’s going on and what, if anything, investors should do. Here are some answers to common questions that people have about the stock market.
Investment choices
WE all know that we need to set aside money for a rainy day. However, keeping large amounts of cash under your bed is probably not the smartest thing you can do. Aside from the vulnerability of the money being stolen or lost to fire and other calamities, it also does not earn interest. Another risk is, of course, the government decides to demonetize the paper bills you are holding on to and you forget to exchange it.
