My pick for the moment: MWC

I don't like over thinking. Utilities are good business, period. Timing, though is important in trading so I like to consult with technical analysts. The resistance for MWC was pegged at 25. Since it broke above it today and closed at 25.3, I would recommend buying it first thing tomorrow if you haven't done that already.

What's the big deal with call centers in the Philippines

As I imagine the point of view of a fresh College graduate in the Philippines, call centers do not exactly seem like a prestigious choice for work.  It's really about the salary.  Work is hard, hours are tough and it's hard to call it fulfilling.  But there are hordes of Filipinos signing up and taking home a lot more money than they could before.  Notably, Filipinos turn out to be really good at customer service thanks to our general politeness and fluency in the kind of English Americans use - something that matters since most clients are American.  It turns out there's a practical side to our obsession with American movies, television and music.  We can answer their phones.  While that's not glamorous, it's a humongous part of the Philippines' recent economic renaissance.

-37.93 for the PSEi isn't bad

I was surprised to see that the PSEi fell only 37.93 points today. Wall street plus major asian markets were reacting by making record drops in response to the the failure of the U.S. Congress to pass the law enabling the bailout. I'm of the opinion that Philippine companies are sufficiently decoupled from America from a fundamental standpoint. Yet, our market reacts to the U.S. market and often tracks its movement absent any major local event. Could this mean that buying behavior in the Philippine market is now less influenced by the U.S. market? I'm more willing to speculate that local stocks are just way oversold and really "cheap" compared to their true value. If I had the money to spare, I'd be buying Philippine stocks left and right.
