Investment Management: Success Rate of Filipino Investors in the Stock market
Today was day 1 of my Investment Management class and our professor shared something very interesting. He gave us the percentages of the success rate of investments made by Filipinos (in the stock market). I don't know where he got his data or how accurate it is but trust me when I say he's not the type to make things up. He gave us the following figures:
- 90% of the investors lose money
- 7% of the investors break even
- 3% of the investors gain / make a profit
It was shocking to hear that 90% of the investors actually lose money! And only 3% actually gain from it! With these figures, one might say that investing in the stock market is not that much different from gambling. I wonder what possible reasons there are that brought this about. I hope to be able to figure these out and eventually be able to share these reasons with you.
