Buy Twitter shares in the Philippines

Today's world is unimaginable without Internet technology. Modern innovations have penetrated the worlds of commerce, services, education and everyday communication.

The topic of investment has not been ignored either. Now that you have access to the Internet, you can discover the wide world of stock trading, understand the principles of the stock exchange and prepare yourself as an investor from the comfort of your own home. Even if you live in a small province in the Philippines, all you need is an Internet connection and a minimum starting amount of a couple of dollars.

Today, we'll look at how to invest in Twitter stock in the Philippines.

The US company Twitter Inc. is one of the leaders in the high-tech sector of the US stock market. The social network Twitter has a large number of users, both in the US and elsewhere in the world. The good earnings volume makes the stock of the issuer attractive to many investors. Today, the Twitter service is actively used for political and commercial advertising, as well as for the promotion of services, both in the U.S. and other countries around the world.

The history of the service began in 2006 as one of Odeo's projects. In 2007, the social network was spun off as a separate company Twitter Inc.

Twitter is a social network which is a microblogging network that allows users to send short text messages (up to 280 characters, up to 140 characters by 2017) using SMS, instant messaging and third-party client software.

The service was originally called twttr. By the time work began on the service, the domain twitter.com was already occupied, only six months after the service was launched did the twttr team buy the domain and change the name to Twitter.

The project was launched on 21 March 2006, when Dorsey tweeted the first message at 9.50pm PST: 'just setting up my twttr'.

The company currently employs around 4,000 people and has more than 25 offices around the world. The number of users of this network is already more than 200 million people. At the same time, the annual profit of the company Twitter exceeds $ 1.5 billion.

As of the date of this writing, Twitter stock stood at $71.3, showing an increase of 157.31% over the year.

Since Twitter's inception, no company has been able to enter the global marketplace with a similar service - the platform has confidently held its audience. Twitter spreads information almost overnight, unlike other social networks and even the media. This has made the social network more and more popular and the number of followers has been growing steadily.  Another reason for Twitter's popularity is to find like-minded people in all walks of life, from politics to fans of little known pop groups. The social network creates and develops truly strong communities.

With the advent of online investing, potential investors have also become interested in the social network.

Twitter is a relatively new company on the stock exchange. Twitter Inc.'s initial public offering was held in November 2013 on the New York Stock Exchange. According to analysts, Twitter's IPO is considered one of the most memorable on the market. The company's securities can currently be found on the NYSE under the ticker symbol TWTR. Shares of the issuer are also traded on other exchanges, for example: Frankfurt, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, London and Hanover. However, no European stock exchange can provide the same daily trading volume as the NYSE.

To invest in Twitter shares, you need a licensed intermediary - a broker who deals in these stocks.

To choose a good broker, pay attention to the following things:

• The availability of a professional website with all the necessary information;
  
• Availability of feedback for consultation;
  
• Available trading requirements with a wide range of trading instruments;
  
• Availability of technical indicators to assess stock price movements;
  
• The speed of responding to requests;
  
• Availability of various withdrawal methods available.
  

No dividend is paid on Twitter shares. Technically, this can be justified by the fact that all revenues go towards the live growth and expansion of the company. This practice has a right to exist and has proven to be effective many times over.

Therefore, a popular way to invest in Twitter is to trade CFDs (Contracts for Difference), in which you exchange the difference in price for the conversation between the opening and closing times of a trade. In other words, you need to be able to predict the potential rise or fall in the value of the industry's shares. In such cases, you can only profit if you correctly predict the behaviour of the share price.

Most online platforms enable you to use the "multiplier" option when choosing CFD trading, by which you can increase the amount you invest according to the multiplier you select. However, you should not forget that trading with a multiplier, on the one hand, allows you to increase your potential profit many times over, but on the other hand, it carries a high risk of losing money.

How to buy Twitter stock in the Philippines?

To get started with stocks online, register on the online investment platform offered by the brokerage company. Registration is quick and easy and only takes a couple of minutes. Go to the website, click on the registration button, fill in all the details of the registration form with the correct email address. After that follow the link (the system will automatically send it to your specified email), confirm your email and start working on the platform.

You will be offered a free demo account to get you started. The system automatically credits a certain amount of fictitious money to this account, so you can make your first trial transactions without the risk of losing real money. Usually the amount of fictitious money is 10,000 (the amount varies from program to program), and this amount is more than enough for the initial practice. If it turns out that the practice operations were unsuccessful and you do not have enough fictitious money, you can usually resume and try again.

The importance of a demo account cannot be overstated. It is exactly the same as a real account, only the difference is that the real account already contains your real funds. So when you use a demo account you can clearly see how the platform works: how to buy or sell stocks, how to trigger a particular target, such as reducing or multiplying your stop, and so on.

At the same time you are not risking your personal funds. Of course, you cannot withdraw money from your demo account.

To start real trading on the platform, deposit an amount into your account. You can do so with a bank card or with one of the payment systems listed on the platform. As a rule, the funds are credited automatically. The minimum amount to deposit into a real account is usually $10. This allows you to start trading even without much capital.

You should always remember that trading is risky business, so if you do not have enough experience, start with small amounts, so as not to lose much money in case of an unsuccessful transaction. As a rule, withdrawals can be made in exactly the same way as deposits, using the same payment approaches or a bank card.

How to invest successfully online?

Investing is quite a complex process. To invest effectively, creating profits rather than losses, it is not enough to simply study the stock market. It is worth remembering that a number of external factors have an impact on a company's share price that should be considered when investing, such as the political scenario in the country, the country's foreign economic relations and economic legislation, the international economy, international political trends, etc. It is also worth paying attention to what kind of product or service the firm currently produces, whether it intends to expand further or, conversely, whether it will close down. It makes sense to keep an eye on companies in which you are considering an investment. However, it is advisable that you only use verified sources of advice.

So, having set out all of the above, let's highlight where to start investing:

• Find a decent online agent;
• Register on an online investing platform;
  
• Open a demo account;
  
• Become familiar with the platform and the tools it offers;
  
• Become familiar with the training material available on the internet;
  
• Try trading on the free online accounts;
  
• Follow the news about the company in which you are going to invest;
  
• Follow the economic and political news in the Philippines as well as the country where the company is based;
  
• Follow the news globally to understand global trends.
  

Like any action in general, investing requires a comprehensive passion for the procedure. If you want to become a successful investor, you need to make stock market research a hobby and following market trends should become a daily habit.
