INTRODUCTION

Stock market today, specifically in the Philippines experiences a price fluctuation due to the fact that the economy of the Philippines is growing. Now, the challenge for the students is to come up with a more precise trading plan and strategies in the absence of any possibility of loss.

The student’s strategy is to purchase stocks of firms which are thriving these days. And as soon as the price increases, the student will sell the purchased stocks immediately so that the student will gain profit. The student’s believe that ‘Patience is a virtue” which incorporates the idea that dealing with stocks needs patience since the price is always changing.

Knowing the risks of buying or selling stocks will help the students to minimize the risk or the loss of stocks. Moreover, it affects the students by not buying overvalued stocks. The initial expectation of the stocks that the student purchase will increase and definitely attain great profit.

The three investment strategies that are going to be useful in studying virtual stocks trading are 1.) Buy and Hold strategy wherein the students believe that investing in stocks and saving them for a long duration of time can give them reasonable returns in spite of the erratic characteristics of short-term periods. 2.) Technical Analysis is an investment strategy which focuses on the use of charts to acknowledge current price patterns and market trends for the purpose of forecasting future patterns and trends. 3.) Growth Investing is about reflecting what firms, consumers and investors are all doing at the same time in thriving companies and gaining higher expectations of future growth of the stocks CITATION Thu19 l 1033 (Thune, 2019).
