(I should go and thank sir Vic again).  Not bad - 10 days processing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While waiting for my BPI Trade account to be enrolled in my existing BPI expressonline accounts (which will make funding the trade account much convenient), I will familiarize myself with the BPI Trade platform. Really, I can not wait. I even can trade in mutual funds and fixed income through the platform. Yay! So excited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a screen capture of my account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J0ItlVNMuDA/SZJMaFP8hVI/AAAAAAAAAL0/aKoFz9PfraM/s1600-h/BPI+Trade+Platform.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 420px; height: 162px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J0ItlVNMuDA/SZJMaFP8hVI/AAAAAAAAAL0/aKoFz9PfraM/s400/BPI+Trade+Platform.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301383722337862994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is an excerpt of the email.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Begin BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302%26bid=498888" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com"&gt;pay per click&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- End BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The excerpt:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Greetings from BPITrade!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Welcome to BPITrade.

What most people don't know is that the exact opposite is true! Not only can you save money by "going green", but you can also prosper by taking advantage of the new "green wave" in investing. In &lt;em&gt;Go Green, Live Rich&lt;/em&gt;, David Bach takes you by the hand and shows you how to do just that. Let David Bach show you a whole new way to prosper - by going green! &lt;/p&gt;           &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_49478139" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=49478139&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=49478139&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=49478139&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_49478139" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

I know this for a fact. I would not be able to trade stocks and other financial instruments without the know-how on when to buy and sell.&lt;br /&gt;Hence, I have committed myself to master finance. I am sitting for the Chartered Financial Analyst Level 3 exam this June. After which, I earn the right to use the CFA designation (after the satisfactory evaluation of relevant 4-year experience. &lt;a href="http://www.cfainstitute.org/index.html"&gt;CFA&lt;/a&gt; is gold standard in the finance profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Begin BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302%26bid=498888" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com"&gt;pay per click&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- End BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from the 4-year relevant experience requirement, a candidate needs to pass three exams: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. This June I am taking the last Level. Sure, the exams are very difficult, but a candidate can take the exams as many as necessary [until he or she passes]. One must strive to pass at the first take - the exam fee can go as high as US $1,000.&lt;br /&gt;For those who are not interested in the Charter, a commitment to read a business book every month is enough. To help you get started, here is a link to a &lt;a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/196476871/Confessions_of_an_Economic_Hitman.pdf"&gt;FREE book&lt;/a&gt; I have found on the Net.

Now, is it 'shopping time?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A resounding YES! Let me explain why it is time to buy stocks NOW. I will show you WHY by using illustrations from the Philippine Stock Exchange.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miko Sayo said, when he talked about stocks in one of my MBA classes, that generally The Philippine stock market shows a cycle of boom-bust in 10 years. He said this in the early 2006 AND he said that time that 2007 will be a bull market in the Philippine stock market - looking back, he was right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Begin BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302%26bid=498888" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com"&gt;pay per click&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- End BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Shown below is the Philippine Stock Exchange's index (PSEi) from 1996 - 2008. It is an interesting study of a typical stock market volatility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J0ItlVNMuDA/SY14q9m2eiI/AAAAAAAAALQ/v0iWgSnptgQ/s1600-h/PSEi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 464px; height: 289px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J0ItlVNMuDA/SY14q9m2eiI/AAAAAAAAALQ/v0iWgSnptgQ/s400/PSEi.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300025015972297250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The above graph shows that stock investments are best be done with long term in mind. If an investors want to trade through the stock securities volatilities, then an active portfolio management and perhaps, complicated trading processes, are NECESSARY. But for average investors like me, long term is the way to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let's take for example the stocks of Philippine Long Distance Company (PSE: TEL). A year ago, it traded at P3,000, now it is trading at P2,200 AND four months ago, it even traded as low as P1,850! A decline of almost P1,200 in the stock's value!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once my &lt;a href="http://myfirstmillionpesos.blogspot.com/2009/02/myfirstmillion.html"&gt;BPI Trade account&lt;/a&gt; is activated, I am buying TEL and so much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Folks, it is shopping time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;[PSEi image from http://finance.yahoo.com/]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_89110347" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=89110347&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=89110347&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=89110347&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_89110347" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

Buying a house is not as difficult as before - the government has established support financial institutions for the average Filipino to be able to own a house. However, it is STILL a long term commitment. [I pay for my condo not until the next 15 years]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;when you retire, you have a rent-free house to use.

The bank offers to buy the house for you, then asks you to make monthly payments until you pay off the debt. At that time, the bank will transfer the title of the house to your name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you'd rather buy a brand new house here are useful links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/419214/bookmark/233146/House+Construction+in+the+Philippines+-+Design+Ideas%2C+Cost+Estimates%2C+Construction+Methodologies+and+Procedures"&gt;ABGarcia Const.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/1110012/Affordable+house+and+lot+in+Antipolo+City+2-3+bedroom.+P4%2C989+Monthly"&gt;Affordable houses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/1093166/RENT+TO+OWN+HOUSE+AND+LOT+IN+ANTIPOLO+CITY"&gt;Rent to own&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;[Image from www.daasgallery.com]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_41266523" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=41266523&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=41266523&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=41266523&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_41266523" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

<title type='text'>what happened at BPI today =&gt; i went &amp; registered a BPI Trade account</title>
<content type='html'>All over the world, financial markets are down - the stock markets, the futures markets, the commodities markets - whatever market you can think of, it's down!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, the million dollar$ question is, is it the RIGHT time to buy? &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;[This I will address in the next issue]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Begin BidVertiser code --&gt;The point is WHETHER it is the RIGHT time to buy, a prudent investor should always be ready. Hence, I am readying myself to be able to take opportunities the moment they arise. **Imagine a frog flicking it's tongue immediately (at the blink of an eye, eherm, tongue) at an insect when it appears** That is my how I picture me now (still far from looking like a frog though). Better yet this picture says it ALL. That is ME celebrating *wink*wink*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J0ItlVNMuDA/SYbPZg-jEII/AAAAAAAAAJw/67YZ-WFdVqI/s1600-h/Filipino+Trader.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J0ItlVNMuDA/SYbPZg-jEII/AAAAAAAAAJw/67YZ-WFdVqI/s320/Filipino+Trader.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298150048903925890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302%26bid=498888" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;noscript&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com"&gt;pay per click&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- End BidVertiser code --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday, I signed up in the Bank of the Philippine Islands' stock trading platform. It is called &lt;a href="http://www.bpitrade.com/trade/"&gt;BPI Trade&lt;/a&gt;. I promised someone to share my experience in opening the account, but before that let me tell DDDDD reasons why I choose BPI Trade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;BPI has the best online banking platform and processes. It is much better than BDO's which is just a step up from traditional banking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;I have heard good things about BPI Trade from friends who have been using it. Using the platform actually made these friends invest more, and hence save more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;I like it that trascations in BPI Trade will directly be credited/debited to my BPI account unlike traditional brokerages where you have to wait for the brokers to send you the check for the stock proceeds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Now, so yesterday, I filled up the application online and the Web site instructed me to print the form AND together with other documents (photocopy of passport, SSS ID, or any 2 allowed ID) submit it to my BPI Branch. My Branch is the one in Cubao Supercentre - the one in front of Shopwise and beside AliMall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I went there and it was a very FUNNY experience. The branch doesn't know about BPI Trade. Yay! A good thing the branch manager was there and very accomodating. I explained to &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sir Vic&lt;/span&gt;, the accomodating branch manager, the BPI Trade - BPI branch relationship. Mainly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I need to submit to the branch the printed form which I filled up online.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;This is for the branch to verify my signatures (total of 5 in the BPI Trade application form)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If I am not an existing BPI account holder, then I need to open an account right there and then.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;But since I am a cardholder, the branch needs to attach a photocopy of my account's signature card to the BPI Trade application form&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Then the branch has to forward the complete form to BPI's Fulfillment Banking (whatever that is)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;It was fun though. Funny that I have to inform the bank about one of its products. Sir Vic promised to send the form right after I submitted it to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, let's wait and see how fast BPI's Fulfillment Banking works and how soon I get my BPI Trade account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Thanks Sir Vic!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM);--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_UnitID = 14 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_PublisherID = 19496 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_adprod = 'ADL' ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/KonaLibInline.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM) --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;[Image from www.telegraph.co.uk]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_251663099" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=251663099&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=251663099&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=251663099&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_251663099" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

<title type='text'>Clicking your way to million$$$</title>
<content type='html'>Whew! The title is a misnomer though.&lt;br /&gt;I have tried, but honestly clicking my way to million$$$ seem far fetched unless I buy referrals. This means investing in my PTC accounts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do understand the logic though. Like in any other money making scheme, initial investment is necessary. The realization here is that there can never be a truly FREE way to make money online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes hard work and a lot of time, and of course, money, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BDV-856145-BDV&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM);--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_UnitID = 14 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_PublisherID = 19496 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_adprod = 'ADL' ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/KonaLibInline.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM) --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- You will NOT be able to see the ad on your site!

<title type='text'>What is the best way to earn money on line?</title>
<content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;A lot of people are obsessed with earning money online, but is there really an easy way?&lt;br /&gt;I believe there is NONE. Those people who have been successful in generating extra streams in income through their online activities have INVESTED a lot of TIME and HARD WORK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if you are into PTC, you might thought that clicking ads is a SIMPLE way to earn extra CASH. Think again! Say, you get paid $0.001-$.005 per click and to EARN than you are required to wait 30 seconds before closing the browser. So, how many seconds would it take for you to earn the minimum pay-out? 30,000 - 150,000 seconds OR 8.33 - 41.67 hours!!!! for a $5 pay-out. Whew! If you really do the math, PTC with you clicking alone is NOT profitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From these numbers, you are better off doing odd jobs in your neigborhood, say, walking dogs for that old lady who lives around the corner. That can earn you $5-10 an hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who earned a lot in PTC, or so they say, buys or rents referrals. To do this, you have to have initial investment. It does take money to ear money. But most PTC members, dont bother buying or renting referrals. They rather be patient and ask everyone they know to register with them as the referral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I tried this online earning opportunity. I registered in 10 PTC sites. My plan is to earn enough - usually a dollar - then USE that to rent referrals. I will, of course, tell you how everything goes. I tell you, it is difficult!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the list of the PTC I joined:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Neobux&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Taketheglobe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Earnmybux&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;centbux&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ariaptc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ara-bux&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;chillbux&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;citiclick&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;clicksense&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ppclix&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Well, if you WANT to be a member also, my user name for referral purposes for all these PTC sites is lizagaspar. ~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy clicking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM);--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_UnitID = 14 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_PublisherID = 19496 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_adprod = 'ADL' ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/KonaLibInline.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM) --&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_60931723" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=60931723&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=60931723&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=60931723&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_60931723" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

<title type='text'>Paying It Back for Mang Meliton a.k.a "Mang Milton" by Mike</title>
<content type='html'>Meet Meliton Zamora, a &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231071061_1"&gt;retired University of the Philippines&lt;/span&gt; janitor and my hero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For forty-five years, he swept floors, cleaned up trash, watered plants and did odd jobs at the University.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met him when I was active with the UP Repertory Company, a theater group based (then) at the third floor lobby of the Arts &amp;amp; Sciences (AS) building. He would sweep and mop the hallway floors in silence, venturing only a nod and a smile whenever I passed him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back then, for me he was just one of those characters whom you got acquainted with and left behind as soon as you earned your degree and left the university for some big job in the real world. Someone whose name would probably ring a bell but whose face you'd have a hard time picturing. But for many UP students like me who were hard up and had a difficult time paying their tuition fees, Mang Mel was a hero who gave them the opportunity to finish university and get a big job in the real world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The year was 1993 and I was on my last semester as a Clothing Technology student. My parents had been down on their luck and were struggling to pay for my tuition fee. I had been categorized as Bracket 9 in the recently implemented Socialized Tuiton and &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231071061_2"&gt;Financial Assistance Program&lt;/span&gt; (STFAP). My father had lost his job and to supplement my allowance, I worked part time as a Guest Relations Officer at Sam's Diner (back when the term GRO didn't have shady undertones) and took some odd jobs as a &lt;span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231071061_3"&gt;Production Assistant&lt;/span&gt;, movie extra and wardrobe mistress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be eligible for graduation, I had to enroll in my last three courses and pay my tuition fee. Since my parents didn't have enough money for my matriculation, I applied for a student loan hoping that my one of my &lt;span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231071061_4"&gt;Home Economics&lt;/span&gt; (HE) professors would take pity on me and sign on as a guarantor for the student loan. But those whom I approached either refused or were not eligible as guarantors. After two unsuccessful weeks of looking for a guarantor, my prospects looked dim, my future dark. And so, there I was, a downtrodden twenty year old with a foggy future, crying in the AS lobby. I only had twenty four hours left to look for a guarantor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mang Mel, with a mop in hand, approached me and asked me why I was crying. I told him I had no guarantor for my student loan and will probably not be able to enroll this semester. I had no hopes that he would be able to help me. After all, he was just a janitor. He borrowed my loan application papers and said softly, "Puwede ako pumirma. Empleyado ako ng UP." He borrowed my pen and signed his name. With his simple act of faith, Mang Mel not only saved my day, he also saved my future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I paid my student loan the summer after that fateful day with Mang Milton and it has been 15 years since then. I am not filthy rich but I do have a good job in the real world that allows me to support my family and eat three meals a day. A few weeks ago, a friend and UP Professor, Daki, told me that Mang Mel recently recorded an album which he sells to supplement his meager retirement pay, I asked another friend, Blaise, who's taking his &lt;span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1231071061_5"&gt;Master's degree&lt;/span&gt; at UP to find out how we could contact Mang Mel. My gesture of gratitude for Mang Mel's altruism has been long overdue. As fate would have it, my friend saw Mang Mel coming out of the shrubbery from behind the UP library, carrying firewood. He got Mang Mel's address and promised him that we would come over to buy his album.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together with Blaise and my husband Augie, I went to pay Mang Mel a visit last Sunday. Unfortunately, he was out doing a little sideline gardening for a UP professor in Tandang Sora. We were welcomed into their home by his daughter Kit. As she pointed out to a laminated photo of Mang Mel on the wall, she proudly told us that her father did retire with recognition from the University. However, she sadly related to us that many of the students whose loans Mang Mel guaranteed neglected to settle their student loans. After forty-five years of service to the University, Mang Mel was only attributed 171 days of work for his retirement pay because all the unpaid student loans were deducted from his full retirement pay of about 675 days. This seems to me a cruel repayment for his kindness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a cybercall to anyone who did not get to pay their student loans that were guaranteed by Mang Mel.. Anytime would be a good time to show Mang Mel your gratitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mang Mel is not asking for a dole out, though I know he will be thankful for any assistance you can give. So I ask those of you who also benefited from Mang Meliton's goodness or for those who simply wish to share your blessings, please do visit Mang Mel and buy his CD (P350 only) at No. 16-A, Block 1, Pook Ricarte, U.P.

The introduction or background should be able to give the uninitiated reader general information on the research topic. After reading the introduction, the average reader should have enough information to understand the analysis and conclusion sections of the research paper. Generally the background section should answer the following questions: What is the research paper all about? How did the research topic evolve? What is the research topic? Simply, the introduction “may discuss the history, status, and significance of the research” (Harper 325).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The analysis or discussion section of the paper must be able to give the readers a complete picture of the research topic. For example, if the purpose of the paper is to persuade readers to take a side in a debate, then the research paper should present both sides of the debate and not show bias towards any side. All sides should be presented to give the readers an unbiased opportunity to decide by themselves. &lt;span style=""&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;Furthermore, if the background section was a general discussion on the research topic, then the analysis portion is more detailed and extensive. In this section the researcher tries to accomplish the objectives of the paper. He persuades by presenting the different viewpoints of the research topic.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;The last portion of the research paper – the conclusion or recommendation section – although last is not the least important. As a matter of fact without this section the readers will have a difficulty synthesizing the information given in the previous sections of the paper. This section provides a closure in the sense that the researcher presents his opinions on the topic. Here the researcher integrates the information he gathered into his own opinion. Of course, he should also present a summary of the previous sections of the paper.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Lastly, for a research paper to be good the researcher should write clearly – concise, straight to the point and free from grammatical and typographical errors. The lack of grammatical and typographical errors shows the level of commitment of the researcher, that he had devoted considerable time and resources in the writing of the paper. Simply, the researcher should write with style (Lane 64).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;Works Cited&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 6pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;Harper, F. “Writing Research Reports and Scholarly Manuscripts for Journal Publication: Pitfalls and Promises.” &lt;u&gt;The Journal of Negro Education&lt;/u&gt; 75.3 (2008): 322-340.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 6pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;Lane, J. “Making Sense: A Student's Guide to Research and Writing.” &lt;u&gt;Journalism History&lt;/u&gt; 33.1 (2007): 64-65.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM);--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_UnitID = 14 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_PublisherID = 19496 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_adprod = 'ADL' ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/KonaLibInline.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM) --&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_243927019" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=243927019&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=243927019&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=243927019&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_243927019" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

<title type='text'>a world gone crazy</title>
<content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;As I read the news, I can't help but think that the world has gone crazy. However, I also can't help thinking that beneath all that is happening across the global financial markets there is logic. &lt;/span&gt;Logic in the sense that what is happening is, as cliche as it may sound it is appropriate for now, 'written in the stars.' Businesses are all about takings risks, calculated risks. Experts have written books, articles -- scholarly or otherwise, news features about risk management for no reason. Risk management had evolved and is continuing to evolve as one of the specialized knowledge in finance and finance management.&lt;br /&gt;The problem with this logic, predestined or nor, is not further analysis can't seem to find a credible conclusion on when will the chaos end. Hence, governments and central banks are scrambling to form their own bailout/rescue packages. In our own region, papers and proposals are being produced right and left -- papers and proposals on how our governments and central banks should provide for the inevitability of our economies being affected by the U.S. economic recession.&lt;br /&gt;Closer to our territory, financial analysts are predicting that the PSEi will slide as low as 1800. So there goes my condominium fund. Seriously, I think that 1800 is still a high mark. It is election year in the US, and drafting a more comprehensive and IMPRESSIVE bailout plan is close to impossible. Whoever wins needs time to know the ropes. This crisis will last as long as another year perhaps. A year is bad for our local market. It means that foreign capital will continue to be expatriated. Most likely the index can go as low as 1600-1700.&lt;br /&gt;Individually, the sectors will do differently. Personally, I think the property sector will do better than the rest as OFW money continue to pour into the country with their higher peso-value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;form style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 3px; text-align: center;" action="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=2548650', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enter your email address:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input style="width: 140px;" name="email" type="text"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;input value="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~e?ffid=2548650" name="url" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="myfirstmillion" name="title" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input name="loc" value="en_US" type="hidden"&gt;&lt;input value="Subscribe" type="submit"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Delivered by &lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/" target="_blank"&gt;FeedBurner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; line-height: 0pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/blogspot/wOPB/%7E6/1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/wOPB.1.gif" alt="myfirstmillion" style="border: 0pt none ;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 5px; padding-top: 0pt; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/headlineanimator/install?id=2548650&amp;amp;w=1" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'haHowto', 'width=520,height=600,toolbar=no,address=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars'); return false" target="_blank"&gt;↑ Grab this Headline Animator&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM);--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_AdLinkColor = 'blue' ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_UnitID = 14 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_PublisherID = 19496 ;&lt;br /&gt;var dc_adprod = 'ADL' ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/KonaLibInline.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- Kontera ContentLink(TM) --&gt;&lt;map name="bdv_RSS_Ad_257550091" &gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="poly" coords="0,0,467,0,467,45,315,45,315,59,0,59" href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=257550091&amp;click=1" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;area alt="Feed Ads By BidVertiser.com"  shape="rect" coords="315,45,467,59" href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref.dbm?Ref_PID=80302&amp;Ref_Option=main&amp;source=112749172" target="_blank" /&gt;&lt;/map &gt;&lt;p &gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.bidvertiser.com/performance/bdv_rss_rd.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=257550091&amp;click=1" target="_blank" &gt;&lt;img src="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=80302&amp;bid=498891&amp;PHS=257550091&amp;rssimage=1" border="0" usemap="#bdv_RSS_Ad_257550091" /&gt;&lt;/a &gt;&lt;/p &gt;</content>

However, Gilbert said in his article “An Introduction to Real Options” that using either of these valuation methods is inappropriate for investment options with expected future cash flows characterized by significant uncertainties and wherein “management have the flexibility to respond to these uncertainties” (2004, p. x). He suggested the use of real options (RO) valuations for investments with these characteristics – these investments include, but not limited to, high-tech ventures.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;First, Gilbert set the ground rules in order for an investment option to be considered a real option by listing two things that need to take place, at the same time, for real options to exist. These are:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;“There must be uncertainty in      terms of future project cash flows, and &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 6pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;“Management must have the      flexibility to respond to this uncertainty as it evolves” (2004, p. x).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;Boer defined real options by making an analogy between real options and financial options (2000). In a financial option&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;“one can purchase a call option on a common stock. One makes an initial investment to purchase the call. The option may be exercised at a pre-agreed "strike price," which involves a second, but optional investment. The stock is then delivered by the seller of the call and can be liquidated for cash” (Boer, 2000, p. x).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;“For example, one might purchase a call on a stock selling at $100 for $5. If the stock rises to $110, one next exercises the call paying $100. If the stock is liquidated, the second transaction nets $10 and the entire transaction $5” (Boer, 2000, p. x).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;Furthermore, Gilbert claims that “One of the key differences of the RO approach when compared to the NPV approach from a management perspective is that RO focuses attention on identifying sources of uncertainty and forces management to consider the question of ‘when does a project have sufficient flexibility?’” (Gilbert, 2004, p. x). Hence, the main point in using real options in valuing investments is the techniques used are directly based on the valuation techniques developed and used in financial options pricing. These valuation techniques include “analytical solutions (or approximations) such as the famous Black Scholes model as well as numerical methods such as the Monte Carlo and binomial lattice approaches” (Gilbert, 2004, p. x).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;One of the key reasons why NPV, CAPM and other cash flow models have been becoming obsolete in valuing technology-based and related investments is the seemingly widening gap between the cash flow model valuation of a technology stock and the high premium prices. Technology stocks “that are losing money (and hence cannot be valued using price-earnings ratios or multiples of EBIT or EBITDA, and for which there are minimal physical assets, are being valued instead at huge multiples of revenues or projected revenues” (Boer, 2000, p. x). This is in complete contradiction to the principles underlying cash flow-based valuations. For example, in the computation of the net present value of an investment option the investment decision is usually based on how high the net preset value of the investment is which depends on how high the expected future cash flows are.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;Another reason is pointed out by Smith and Amoruso (2006). High-tech ventures’ value is based on intangibles (Smith &amp;amp; Amoruso, 2006, p. x) and intangibles are rarely included in computing for a company’s net present value or discounted cash flows. However, with all its advantages as a valuation method, real options model does have its disadvantages. Tiwana, Wang, Keil and Ahluwalia argued that “little field research has been conducted to test whether [management] suffer from systematic biases” in using real options in valuing investments (2007, p. x). The authors, based on their study, concluded that management “associate real options with value only when a project's easily quantifiable benefits are low, but fail to do so when they are high” (Tiwana, Wang, KEil &amp;amp; Ahluwalia, 2007, p. x).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 200%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;            &lt;/span&gt;From my readings, I inferred that real options valuation is not a complete avowal from net present value – it is an extension. As a matter of fact, Gilbert says that “[the] valuation of real options starts with the identification of the traditional NPV model” (Gilbert, 2004, p. x) because the NPV model aids in the identification of uncertainties and in the valuation of the real options themselves. From this I can say that using real options is not so difficult because the underlying principles and valuation techniques of the theory are not too complex. From this simplicity, I agree that real options theory is one of the best approaches for valuing new high-tech ventures. However, I believe that this is not the real issue: the valuing technique and tool is not the end, but the means to an end. The real issue here is how the investor synchronizes his business objectives with the investment vehicles he chooses to invest in.&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;br /&gt;References&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 6pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.5in; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12;"  &gt;Boer, F.
