Protect Yourself Online Buying and Selling on The Web

Taking cue from the diverse experiences of scamming victims and tips form website operators, there are multiple ways to  prevent you from falling into fraudulent transactions. Here are some of them:

Photo: Getty

1. Never Pay in Advance.
The seller may give various reasons on why they need the money in advance, but you have to be firm with your policy of paying upon delivery of the product. Should they insist on their payment terms, walk away and look for a reasonable deal.

2. Look At Warning Signs During Negotiation.
Negotiation is an integral part of dealing with buyers and sellers. If the other party agrees to one-sided agreements like 50-percent down payment prior to delivery and shipping and other terms that would be grossly disadvantageous and risky, it's usually an indication that the scammer is interested in getting a smaller reward to escape the risk of detection.

3. If The Price Is Too Good To Be True, It Probably Is.
The fairly common scam lures eager buyers who fall for below-market prices for goods sold. Buyers are then easily convinced to pay the amount in full via payment facilities like Smart Money and GCash only to find out that the sellers have disappeared with the cash deposit. In these situations. it pays to check the profile of the seller and if possible, retrieve feedback on past history.

4. Distance Matters.
Although it is actually possible to have a seller live miles away, it is often an excuse for the scammer to facilitate alternative means of payment like bank deposits and mobile payments, that do not make use of any tracking facility, much less receipts. As a rule, always buy items from someone withing your immediate vicinity and make arrangements for cash-on-delivery payments. This applies to both buyers and sellers.

5. Some Sleuthing Pays Off.
It is easy to assume a different identity online and all it takes is a little bit of Googling to find out more about the authenticity of the buyers identity. Buyers and sellers should be wary of notorious usernames, modus operandi and bogus identities mentioned in countless grievances aired by scam victims online. Likewise, if the information provided at last listing website is not consistent with the search results, alarm bells should sound. It is important for users of online listing and auction communities to be aware of potential risks of online transactions. However, these practical steps shouldn't deter users from enjoying the online shopping experience.-JC Medina

Smart Investing Some Tips

Being well-informed increase your chances of gaining profit.

By: Francisco Colayco

The first rule of successful investing: Avoid losing. The second rule: Do not lose. The third rule: Go back to rule number one. But how do you make sure you do not lose?

All investment have the potential to make or lose money. You just need to carefully study how to increase your chances of making money and decrease or even prevent incurring losses. You worked hard to earn your money;work harder to keep it. Some tips:

1. Do not be blinded by big earnings and instant wealth:
In fact, some investments are really meant to lose in the beginning before they start making money. However, there are also some investments that may not be able to recover from the initial loss. You have to understand the principles behind the business before investing.

2. Investing is not like betting on a horse race:
You don't have to pick the fastest. Choose "horses" that consistently finish the race in the top half of the lot. Get good information as to the track record of the business you are investing in, or the history of the company you are interested in.

3. Investing is a long-term commitment:
Be prepared to keep your money invested for at least five years. More importantly, in order to manage risk and stabilize earnings or gains, you should invest regularly.

4. Expect to lose at some point or another:
Be prepared to handle that loss. IF you plan well, your loss will only be temporary and you can recover quickly, or at worst, over a reasonable amount to time. This also means that you can identify the causes of your loss because you can compare what you had planned to do against what you actually did do, and what happened as a result.

5. Recover your losses:
By losing one peso, you end up with one less peso you can invest or use. You first need to recover that lost peso to bring you to "no loss, no gain." Then you will need to earn another peso in order to have money to invest again. In short, losing one peso means you will need to earn two pesos just to get back to where you started.

YOUR OPTIONS:
Stocks are the most volatile securities you can invest in,and this is why investing in stocks must be more long term. The longer your investment time horizon, the lower the risk and, potentially, the higher return. The stock market is bullish now but it could dive down just as fast. Thus, stock investments should be limited to the better companies that you can hold on to on matter how the market moves. Going in and out of the martin in short periods (week or moths) is not investing. It's trading.

I prefer to advise most savers to invest in mutual funds or unit investment trust funds (UITFs). If your personal financial plan, depending on your age and goals, will allow you to invest in equities, then equity mutual funds are a good option. However, you should choose the better-managed funds. Diversifying into fixed income and balanced funds is also a good strategy to spread your risk.

Managers of the better mutual funds and UITFs know how to ride with the ups and downs of the market. This is why you can stay invested in a mutual fund or UITF for at least three to five years. There's no need to time your buying and selling like you would if you were buying directly into specific stocks.

A couple reminders when investing in mutual funds and UITFs:

1. Buy shares with a fixed budget on a regular basis, whether the market is up or down. When the market is up, buy fewer shares. When it is down, you will be able to buy more shares for the same amount. In fact, during a downtrend, you may even increase the amounts of investment. This will give you a good low average cost per share.

2. Set your own target annual rate of return. For example, if your target is to earn 15 percent per annum, you can sell during the time when the market price of your accumulated shares already provides you this yield. Note that it is not only the price that is important, it is also the number of shares that you have accumulated that will give you the gains you have set as your goal.
