A logistics professional with nearly two decades of experience has diversified his investment portfolio by engaging in the stock market, particularly focusing on ASEAN and US markets, including the NYSE and NASDAQ. Initially encouraged by a colleague to invest rather than keep savings solely in banks and properties, he began trading in the Philippine stock market in 2014. His early investments were concentrated in well-known blue-chip companies, but he has since expanded his holdings across various sectors, including banking, telecommunications, retail, and logistics, as well as US-based companies.
In 2020, he entered the US market, learning about it through a family member’s trading account before establishing his own. His motivation to write for Seeking Alpha stems from a desire to share insights and deepen his understanding of the US market. He currently maintains long positions in shares across different sectors, including banks, hotels, and logistics companies, and employs comparative analysis between US and Philippine markets.
