NAVPu how do I get thee?

Let me count the clicks. (Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.)

PNB

1.

2.

BDO

1.

2.

3.

BPI 

1. The home website of BPI is https://www.bpiexpressonline.com/. And, yes, watch out for the fake one.

2.

3.

4. Once you click any of the above, you will be transferred to https://www.bpiassetmanagement.com

Metro Bank

1. 

2,

Security Bank

1. This is the default page. And the tab for investment is clear enough. But click on it and you're lost already.

2. This is the page where you can scroll down and click on buttons to get the NAVPUs of the funds offered by Security Bank. But there is no way, at least for me, to get from the above page to this. I got here only by googling the link.

That's Megan Young on the home page. Many investors say she is why Security Bank beat the market in 2014-2015. I'll go into that in an upcoming post.

Non-reason for saving

Parents save for their children's education.

Some parents save for reasons other than that. Take it from Washington Sycip.

My children also go to concerts of their favorite popstars. I do not save so that they may do that, of course. They save from the pocket money I gave them so they can go watch.

Doesn't that violate the principle that no one is allowed to do indirectly what he is prohibited to do directly?

A newbie explains UITF better than most

Here's a good explainer about  UITF from a certified newbie on a Facebook group that I follow.

Non-reason for investing

Many would save up and invest in order to have funds in the future to visit Paris, Tokyo, etc.

Me, I have always been fond of answering people with lines from a song which says:

One paddle, two paddle, three paddle
Four to take me home
Fourteen on the right, fourteen on the left,
Take me to Hawaii nei, no ka best.
I went away a long time
Such a long time, a long time ago
Seen enough cities to last a lifetime
Goin' away no more 

I've seen Cebu City, Mandaue City, Lapulapu City, Danao City, Talisay City, Carcar City, Naga City, Toledo City, and Campo 7.
