While I missed the details, I'm happy to hear that Meralco is staying in the happy hands of the Lopezes.

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" .

Two years ago I recommended the following: ICT (28.50) ATI (5.3) MWC (15.25) SECB (63.00) The same stocks closed today at the following prices: ICT (75) ATI (9.80) MWC (25.3) SECB (142.2) With perfect hindsight, this would have made anyone a pretty penny over two years. With ICT and SECB, one would have doubled his or her money easily. However, at the time I recommended it, I couldn't predict my picks would double over two years. In fact, I sold of my SECB once I gained 25%. I was happy enough with the gain. Yet, seeing it move even higher made me cringe. It's very easy to predict which stocks will eventually go up, it's just so hard to say when. Common sense trading is easier for those who have time on their side. Stocks move up, we just can't choose when. It's having the power and emotional tenacity to...
