New and Views: PH and Japan Economy

PH Economy
For the first time since 1998, our country, the Philippines, have a budget surplus. In short, the government save some money (finally, our government became a role model to all the Filipinos). This is a sign of good governance and if sustainable will be translated to growth. Economic growth means more jobs and more jobs means more money for the common people. Some of these money, hopefully, will be invested to our stock market....Hurray!!!

Japan Economy
Every single day since Friday last week, news about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan are bombarding us nonstop.
In reaction, stocks are starting to plummet and traders were on panic selling and liquidating their shares due to potential nuclear meltdown. Well guess what, it's not yet the end of the world and even if it is do you think you will survive with your cash?

I'm still a newbie in stocks investing but I'm very much aware of the lessons of 2008 Economic Crisis....that is "In every calamity there's an opportunity".  With this principle in my mind, I managed to  earn big bucks from 2008 Economic Crisis, 2009 Ondoy Typhoon in the Philippines, 2010 Greece/European Debt Crises, and in the most recent 2011 Egyptian Revolution I already posted 15%-20% gain of the stocks I purchased during the sell-off in February.

Besides, Japan has experienced Nuclear disaster already during the World War II and I'm quite sure they can stand on their feet in due time.

Below is a very interesting article about the impact of the recent disaster in Japan
