Capital Growth/Appreciation

One reason that motivates an investor to invest in stocks is capital appreciation. They want their money to grow in
value over time. An investor is looking to buy the stock at a low price and sell it at a higher price at some point in the
future.
Example: Mr. Investor purchased 100 shares of ABC Corporation at Php100.00 per share on March 15, 2016. On
April 30, 2017, Mr. Investor sells his 100 shares of ABC Corporation for Php200 per share, realizing a profit of
P100.00 per share, or Php10,000 on the100 shares. 

One of the reasons why we invest in stocks is to take advantage of the power
of compounding. The challenge is to find these stocks that when held for a
long period of time, will give you a decent rate of return for your money.
Looking for stocks with a reasonable compounded rate of return is tough to
find. But if you know the qualities and quantitative factors of a good stock to
hold, making investing decisions will be easier than it sounds.
One of the stocks I think that every investor should look and consider in their
portfolio is Banco De Oro (BDO).

Banks are good businesses and BDO is a bank that you'll never go wrong.
BDO is the Philippines' largest bank with ₱2.33 trillion of total assets. It's a
full service universal bank with one of the widest distribution networks
consisting of 1,119 operating branches and over 3,600 ATM's nationwide. It's
also part of one of the country's largest conglomerates, the SM Group of
Companies.

These are good reasons why BDO is a good investment. Let's see if the facts
are supported by numbers.

I like BDO because the people managing the bank is doing a good job in
increasing shareholder value by using their retained earnings as efficient as
possible.
They also have maintained a predictable earnings figure which is crucial if
we want to invest in safe and growing companies. BDO is also recommended
inside the Truly Rich Club.
I'll be investing in this stock soon since the price today looks fairly attractive
in my point of view.
 Quite simply, the reason that savvy investors invest in stocks is that they provide
the highest potential returns. And over the long term, no other type of investment tends to
perform better. On the downside, stocks tend to be the most volatile investments.
