With the rise of online trading, investing in stocks has never been easy. In this post, I will teach you how to open a COL Financial account. But be warned, you should have the right mindset before you invest in the stock market.
In this post, I will show you how to get started in online stock trading through one of the most acclaimed stock market brokers in the Philippines: COL Financial. This is the most stable online stock market trading platform in the Philippines.
I am not connected with COLFinancial nor an affiliate of this website. I am just recommending something that I use so that I can provide valuable information based on experience, not from anyone else.

after mo mag invest nang 5k, magkano na monthly ihuhulog sa kanila?
Athena, it is not required to do it monthly but the minimum that you can deposit is Php 1,000. If you deposit below P1,000, a service charge applies.
meron po b rules if gusto mo n bawiin shares mo if di kumikita & pede mo ba encash earnings if ayaw mo ibili pa ng stock? tnk u
No rules. You can buy or sell shares and you can withdraw your outstanding balance absolutely ANYTIME.
But you can only withdraw your investment once you sell your shares.
As an example, I sold my San Miguel (SMC) shares last time and withdrawn the money I earned from it :)
