annoying numbers when liquidity is low

I don't like looking at the market's numbers. I saw GEO at 1.14, Meg at 2.18, BPI at 51, BDO at 47 and MER at 80. I don't like them not because they are low but because they are low and I'm not as liquid as I want to be.

I'm still willing to bet on the Philippine economy and I think we're beginning to see some really excellent entry points for very good stocks.

hollywoodish headlines eclipse trading; foreign interest in RP stocks wanes -businessworld

Hollywood-ish news News of what happened to the Senate's witness on the NBN deal is dominating the clicks on inquirer.net . The Inquirer's front page told of a story that I think belongs in fiction. Lozada was intercepted at the airport even before he made it through the tube, taken by men and made to sign documents saying it wasn't an abduction. His hearing started around 10am today, and I've been following along through inquirer.net's running account . Another sluggish trading day The total trade value today was slightly less than yesterday, being just below the Php1.2 billion mark. Modest gains left the market at around 3241, up by about 17 points from yesterday. Waning interestin RP stocks Business world's headline for today says that: "Interest in RP stocks wanes" . The article highlighted some important statistics. "THE STOCK MARKET got off to a shaky start this year, with net foreign selling hitting a record P11.59 billion as foreign invest...

Some signs of a short term reverse of the downtrend seen by Tsupitero

"your emotions play little role in the trading" - John Porter My favorite technical analysis website, tsupitero.com , offered some good news based on last weeks numbers. He says there are signs that the downtrend may be reversing itself but there is no reason to be complacent about it. We must still take caution. In his weekly analysis, he pointed out that the market must break about 3400/3500 before we're to see any certainty in the reversal. He said that many have positioned themselves at this level and are waiting to sell when it returns there. I smirked when I read this because I'm among those who positioned at that level. Anyhow, I'm not too keen on selling everything right away when it hits that level. I will likely just lighten to join in the some of the short action or keep my positions long :) On the other side of the coin. Tsupitero says we are to watch out if prices immediately retest the lows of 2950 and 2875. If that happens, I'll be playing a muc...

breaking the index's fall

"Be greedy when everyone is fearful, be fearful when everyone is greedy?" -Warren Buffet When will our market's main index break its medium term downtrend and find that foothold? With such bright and sunny skies over our local private sector, why are we so fearul? News...what news? All the good corporate news last week was not sufficient to have any significant upward impact on our market. On the contrary, we saw incredibly thin trading last week for successive trade days. The gloom and doom that has taken over global markets seems to scream louder than our local news of continuously increasing corporate profits. Technical Opinions Tsupitero says the level to watch out for is 3170. Any break below this points to only one of two things, a retest of the previous low of 2950 or worse, the establishment of a newer low. Other technicals are telling investors to watch for a successful retest of the last support level, which I'm assuming to be 3170. Support retest seems to b...
