Merlaco stays in the happy hands of the Lopez Family

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

MER's closing share price today was Php60.00. Good bargain I think...

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...

another day in the green but with low trade volume

Today's close (May 20, 2008) was in the green with the PSEi at 2896.15, +18.69 from yesterday. Value turnover was unexciting at Php2.4B. Surprise for those expecting correction While 18.69 points is not a large increase, it comes as a surprise to me. This week's outlook was for more correction. With inflation taking the limelight, that prediction seemed sound. On top of that, we just saw a rally of about eight days. What comes up, must come down. Surprise, surprise... Yesterday's drop of only 2.49 points to 2,877.46 was also rather pleasant as it was quite negligible for the composite index at only -.1% Less worrisome numbers With the market making gains, even though rather weak for my taste, I'm getting more positive about where this market may be going. My gut feel is that it's getting ready to push up hard and fast.

where are the bulls?

The market may be bad, but I slept like a baby last night. I woke up every hour and cried. The PSEi went up on May 7, 2008 by 11.73 points. Value turnover was at a respectable level of Php4B. Looks good, but not good enough, I think. The fresh wind of hope from the U.S. economy didn't make it here until today as shown by the Philippine Stock Exchange Index. The rice shortage or at least the perception of a shortage along with inflation going through the roof are factors that weigh down on local investor sentiment. Corporate earnings are largely within expectation but maybe market is already priced into better corporate performance since it had little effect on our stock prices.
