I accessed the app this morning and immediately noticed a little "NEW" tag hovering over the "Tools" dropdown in the top navigation bar. I clicked on it, and it turns out DragonFi just rolled out a native Stock Calculator.

A lot of us usually rely on third-party calculators or spreadsheets to see the total order amounts with all fees included, so having this built right into the dashboard is a massive quality-of-life update.

The layout is very straightforward and visualizes exactly where your money is going. It divides your trade into clear segments:

• Gross Trade Cost: Your base capital before any deductions.
• Total Broker Fees: Computes the standard commissions and exact VAT.
• Exchange & Clearing Fees: Automatically factors in the PSE Transaction Fee and SCCP Fee.
• Taxes: Includes the Stock Transaction Tax on the selling side.
• Net Profit & Loss: Shows your exact absolute gain/loss and percentage yield after all frictional costs are paid.

Now, What is the Ticker of this Stock, Wrong Answers only.

Hindi ko alam kung para saan yung award pero basta masaya kayo ge lang.

MWIDE just released 2Q 2026 earnings and the numbers look strong on paper.

EPS jumped to ₱0.027 from ₱0.004 last year. Profit margin went from 0.2% to 6.9%. Net income at ₱267.3m.

Pero revenue actually dropped 12%. So the profit came from cutting expenses, not from growing the business.

The bigger thing na napansin ko: EPS has grown 137% per year over the last 3 years, but the share price only moved 13% per year. Malaking gap.

Either the market doesn't trust earnings that come from cost-cutting off a low base, or this is just being ignored.

Anyone here holding MWIDE? Is there something in the balance sheet na hindi ko nakikita, or typical PSE mid-cap treatment lang ito?

What's you thought?

I was watching YouTube earlier and saw a video about a Filipino-built EV, so I got curious and decided to check out their official website. I was expecting to see actual vehicle specs, local manufacturing plans, or proper photos…

Instead, I got hit with pure, unadulterated AI-generated slop.

May Caveman Beh. araymo.

I’ve noticed a pattern in my trading/investing psychology recently.

When the market starts dipping or crashing, instead of feeling stressed or sad about red portfolios, I actually get super energized and excited. It feels like FOMO, but in reverse, a genuine fear of missing out on cheap prices or buying the dip.

Normally, classic FOMO happens when a stock is flying to the moon and everyone rushes in out of greed. But for me, the urge to jump in aggressively only really hits when things are bleeding red.

On one hand, I know "buying low" is fundamental to long-term investing, and having a cool head during red days prevents panic selling. But on the other hand, I wonder if this "Reverse FOMO" can be just as dangerous as regular FOMO, like catching falling knives, running out of liquidity too early, or overexposing myself just because something looks cheap.

How do you guys view this mindset? Is it a healthy sign of a long-term investor, or just another psychological trap wrapped in a different package? How do you keep it in check so you don't exhaust your cash reserves too quickly?

The news that ERC ordered Meralco to refund ₱9.5 Billion to consumers over the next 6 months (around ₱0.3448 per kWh) after declaring their 5th regulatory period lapsed.

Given that MER has already been under selling pressure recently, do you think this regulatory hit will push the stock even further into bearish territory soooooo we can buy at the dip deepest dipsh?

Just saw the Q2 2026 earnings breakdown for Metrobank (PSE: MBT).

• EPS: ₱2.73 (down ~2.5% YoY from ₱2.80, missing analyst forecasts by a bit)
• Revenue: ₱37.0B (up 2.1% YoY, pretty much inline with estimates)
• Net Income: ₱12.3B (down 2.3% YoY)
• Margins: Dropped from 35% to 33%, mainly due to rising operating expenses.

Looking forward, revenue growth is projected at 10% per year over the next 3 years (slightly behind the 11% industry average for local banks). Over the last 3 years, their EPS grew around 8% annually while the stock price lagged slightly at 6%.

Are higher expenses just a temporary bump, or are you guys feeling a bit cautious on local bank stocks for the rest of the year? Are you buying the dip or holding off?

Will this affect the price tomorrow?

Hey everyone, I've been doing some research on Nickel Asia Corporation ($NIKL).

We all know about the recent Pax Silica Initiative, right?

• It's a US-led framework launched in December 2025 to build secure tech supply chains for semiconductors, AI, and critical minerals.
• A major, implicit goal of the initiative is to reduce global reliance on China's supply chains.
• The Philippines is heavily involved because we are the world's second-largest nickel producer and the largest global exporter of nickel ore.
• Our abundant nickel resources are essential for clean energy and tech, positioning the country as a key partner in this coalition.

If you look at the recent $NIKL stock movement, it feels like there is serious upside potential given this massive geopolitical push for our critical minerals.

But here is where I get stuck: the environmental destruction is heartbreaking, making the idea of investing feel wrong.

• Nickel Asia, via its subsidiary Hinatuan Mining Corporation, runs massive extraction projects.
• If you look at the map and the summary, the extensive deforestation and environmental scarring on Hinatuan Island are undeniable.
• Advocacy groups are already warning that the Pax Silica demand for critical minerals could accelerate this type of large-scale mining in other provinces, risking further deforestation and polluted watersheds.

What makes it even harder to stomach is that right now, over 90% of our nickel harvest goes straight to China for processing. Instead of the Philippines actually consuming it to build our own self-reliant industries or moving up the value chain, we are just exporting the raw earth and keeping the environmental scars. While the Pax Silica initiative promises to process critical minerals locally in a proposed 1,620-hectare hub in New Clark City, we are currently just a supplier of raw materials.

Wala akong NIKL holdings, Medyo nausisa lang. tingin niyo?

Hey everyone,

I was browsing around today and stumbled across SOXS (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares).

I did a little digging to figure out how it works, and my initial reaction was literally "wth?"

Basically, you’re making money when the entire semiconductor industry goes down, but amplified by 3x. So if tech stocks take a nosebleed, this thing rockets up. People always say the regular stock market is a bit of a casino, but holding something like a 3x leveraged inverse ETF feels like the ultimate high-stakes table.

A few things that blew my mind after reading into it:

• Volatility Decay / Drag: Because it resets daily, if the market just moves sideways with high volatility, you lose money even if the index ends up where it started.
• The "Holding" Trap: Zoom out on the 5-year chart of almost any bear ETF and it’s basically a straight line to zero because of reverse stock splits and long-term market growth.

It seems like using this for anything other than a quick day trade or an emergency short-term hedge is financial suicide.

Best case is go to casino and gambling with entertainment or stay alone in your room and gambling to this inverse ETF... Obviously not a financial advice though.
