 I. Virtual trading account opening and portfolio building

Day 1 (November 19)

a. Opening of virtual trading account.

For the first day, in opening the Virtual Stock Trading area, you need to open
the website or the link www.kisschart.com/trade.

For the second step, you need to sign in, whether on Facebook or google
accounts, in order to receive your capital which is Php100,000.

 b. Building-up my portfolio.

So, I started buying stocks from different companies like San Miguel
Corporation and other known corporations. As you can see in the picture, the profit
and profit ration were negative since the cost of the share that I’ve bought were
higher than the market value. Therefore, you need to have patience in monitoring
your stocks as to when it will increase in market value.

 The first step in virtual stock trading is purchasing or buying stocks from a
specific company. So, you have to choose a company first.

And tap on the “Buy” button and decide how many shares do you want to buy.

After deciding on buying some numbers of shares, proceed on pressing the

“@Buy” button, the green highlighted one. After several seconds, minutes, hours or
days, the market value of your investments might decrease or increase.

 II. Portfolio monitoring

Day 2 (November 20, 2020)

Below, on the picture or screenshot is the status of my portfolio. Two

companies had increased the market value (the one with the font color green) and
the rest stayed with being negative. But I’m still thankful for this happening since
there are still improvement that occurred in a short span of time. I had realized that I
should’ve invested more in this companies with faster growth of market value than
the other companies.

Day 3 (November 23, 2020)

Third day of trading, I had sold all my investment because I thought that all of
the stocks that I’ve bought should be sold (hahaha). But then, it would be okay if I
should just sell only those stocks that improve through the days it was invested.
Selling those stocks with greater market value than the cost it was bought lead to an
income in my portfolio.

III. Reflection Paper on Virtual Trading Experience.

Trading is a risky way to earn profit but I believe that the higher the risk, the
higher the income. You might be able to have income or loss. Stock Trading need
the best analyzation and understanding in order survive.

Virtual Stock Trading helped me to experience the world of trading stocks. It

guides me to deepen my understanding on a realistic way of what could’ve happen if
I was to trade in the future. It might be confusing in the first try but as the time goes,
you will understand everything in it.

Through this Virtual Stock Trading, I had realized that I should try to invest in
the stock market in the near future. Trying to invest would give some benefits
financially. This experience brought a big positive impact on the understanding of
everyone, in analyzing the best decision to create.
