" Coincidence  not luck would be the main principle " , in stock investing . Though, despite of  the technical jargons ,current events  charting , historical performance and future forecast means a lot to the investors , it still the major reasons in winning the game of chance like stocks investments , the word to watch is 'coincidence".Quoting off the logic of the analytical data's and intuition all the right feeling of mode would serve the investors a guiding compass in choosing the right mix of the stocks to invest. 

"Ano domini" 1961 back in England when I discovered the first " Aha" of stocks investing . During that time stocks stock investing is course through the banking system in England. " I bought my first stocks investments products through the Bank of Loyd's . Its was the stocks related to a company in Nigeria with an operation of the securing data's and information . The major source of information then was the print and newspaper. 

Going all around the world for leisure , business and jobs related consultancy in UNEDO, ILO and UNESCO what sticks to my habits of stocks investment  is in the hegemony of the Philippine markets. The Philippine markets is unpredictable  at is  like today " the traffic in EDSA". " So what will you do if you caught in the midst of the traffic?, the transpacific stocks investors literally ask me?

My replied " just make the most of the moment" where ever you have been stranded". If you are inside the bus ,get hook and watch the television ( movie, news, mexican , korean telenovela, japanese anime) or get updated with with your  playlist of songs  via mobile down loaded apps .

Philip Turner on his practical views of Philippine Stock Investing , who personally quoted  Henry Ford, " History never repeat itself" in the arts of technical analysis of the stocks performances . The basic requiem of " buy stocks when it is low, and sell when it is high", is still applicable when a an investors is in hurry of making a profits. But if the investors objective is safekeeping a certain company stocks for long horizons the basic mantra would be still be applicable , however one must be ready for its consequences. To have a presence of control in the company ,pivoting a gateway of investing in minority shares ( common or preferred) is a different subjects to consider. 

However in the Philippines today, once the company were not able to maintain its  SEC (securities and exchange commission and other regulatory bodies ), PSE ( philippine stock exchange) benchmark of the good standing company when it come to reportorial requirements , capitalization standards the company is delisted. Once the company is delisted and you still hold the stocks of the delisted company, the investors is in trouble in disposing his stocks in a profitable margin. His recourse might be on the secondary markets . The stock investors would experience the difficulty of looking a sound minded persons who will invest in the delisted company in a reasonable price. And if the stock investors managed to clinched a good margin out from this delisted stocks , still he cannot escaped the capital gains tax  out from the transferring the stock ownership which is quite higher, which is usually  quoted not in the originally stock price ( par value ) , but in the prevailing market price . 

Mr. Philip Turner, first foray in the Philippines stocks investing  was in 1973 . Blue chips stocks then was the AYALA stocks as was he said.

Blue chip company , for Mr. Philip Turner is when the company passes his acid test benchmarking.

Does the company has a great potential to deal with? Does the management of the company have the right sets of goals and visions for the company? Then , Mr. Philippe Turner finally said , " I will invest only in the company with a clear future".

Mr. Philippe Turner warns investors in the technical jargons differentiation in stocks investing . Similar with the " hardballs "   program titled of the ANC ( ABS-CBN)  programmed channel ,formatted exclusive for the hard talk , with a niche viewers of guys who are sporty , or fun of the hard talk related with the manly decision makers. 

Mr. Philippine Turner , expounded the " hard balls", talks to sports jargon as a metaphorical , idiomatic expressions denoting sure balls.This leads to our conversation  as to what is  the definitive meaning of the soft balls ,footballs and base balls in the American , European and Philippines point of view.

In America the soft ball game is done  by kicking the ball  for which in Europe and Philippines technically the sports categorically  called it  " foot ball", just by the manner of treating the ball. 

Whilst , the  base ball in the Philippines is done by "butting the balls ", I am just curious on how the Americans name and treat it as one of their major past times. Oh !!!, who can forget the New york Yankee team?

In effect, stocks investing is hardball talk for the novice investors even to the season investors alike, the same with sports as we concluded the talk over stocks investing .
