Again stocks following the Dow are going from green to red to green. It seems that the market is still at a stop go moment unsure where we are headed: bull or bear.It is a good thing the Dow is up tonight from last week's dismal performance. This shows that despite lingering news on unemployment and home prices, investors remain bullish. Some are saying this is going to result to a huge market

Stocks are on the green these days, but we can still expect some downturns on the side. Although its way up is not as smooth and there are still doubts as to when a correction should follow (a dramatic drop in prices) it seems that the overall sentiment is optimistic. The markets seem to be decoupling. Markets have also gone up in some Asian countries most especially Taiwan and China. Commodities

Today the market is in the red, but not low enough for a buy. The guru sold some of his not so preferred shares today such as ALI and tried to sell LOTO. He posted LOTO at Php 10 (bought at P8.9), but sadly no one was up for the shares despite posting a 48% increase in profit. Why?This probably concerns investor confidence in the company. True! that:1. It is on very good business with LOTTO

The guru's recent buys are Globe Telecoms @ 820 and China Banking @ 325. He bought Globe because it presented a pretty remarkable first quarter performance with an EPS of P30. Given the average per quarter EPS P21-22, the first quarter performance is very good. It seems that broadband wireless is responsible for this. Globe also has a 75% payout policy. Aside from this, it may give out a special

Seems like the Dow is lower by 1.5% tonight. The rally is still ongoing. Will we be seeing a market correction?Stocks are going higher at an unbelievable pace, a correction is expected if not now at some time. We might see this at this time with news on the survival strength of some big US banks being dismal.I'll be observing for a few more days on the stock market and would sell some of my

Stocks are lower today. This may due to the correction we have been waiting for a long time, but the correction is not much. My stocks have little changes with only MWC a little lower at P13.50. (not cheap enough for me to buy)I am still waiting for an opportunity should MWC go lower at P13 to buy. I have little hopes of getting more MEG (now at P0.91-0.93) I think there is pressure to push it

Today is a very good rally for stocks with MEG and SECB gaining by more than 10-15%. The market too me seems very optimistic, but we have to be cautious. There are still disappointing news and we cannot really say that the market is on a bull run.I'll still wait and see. The guru's eyes are on Globe because of the good earnings and the low PE. I say our own probing won't do any harm. I'll do some

I am so happy I bought my MEG shares. Stocks are on the green for these past few days due to some good news in the US especially job and housing data exceeding expectations. This is also due to catching up by investors in the bull run (as some and even I myself believe). Also, we have to remember that the Asian market is different from Dow and some decoupling is also happening.I would like to see

It seems that there is a catching up happening in the market. As there are those who were able to invest when stocks are at the bottom and have profited with the market going 20% higher, there are those who were not able to do so. Seeing that those who were able to buy stocks profited, those who have not bought start buying. So, as there is selling, there are those who would like to catch up at

It seems that the Dow has changed only by a small percentage these past few days. The market is still unsure with a lot of analyst divided. I am disappointed not having been able to buy MEG because the price is moving upwards.I am really anticipating a correction and would stay on hold until then. Meanwhile, the swine flu problems seems to be getting more serious. This may dampen market sentiment

I am on hold these days. Stocks seem to go lower this week. I am bargain hunting this week. Hopefully, I can accumulate more stocks particularly MEG. I hope the price goes down since the right offer is over. I do have some regrets over not selling MWC at P14, but it's ok since I bought it at P11 and it's still is at P13.25 - P13.50.Why MEG?1. it has good prospects in terms of its outline of

At Dr. Cielito Habito's articles today (PDI April 27, 2009) he was describing how economist are divided on opinions about where the economy is headed. Some foresee a long bear rally, some see a quick rebound, while others see it as U shared where we will have to stay at a bear rally for quite some time before the economy picks up.True enough it was mentioned that there is still unemployment,

It looks like the market is at a over expectation. I believe that 1. prices have shoot up rapidly too fast too soon, 2 that there should be a correction. There may be too much money in circulation that there is no where to go but stocks. But, we still need to consider the fundamentals: does the price reflect the real market value?I believe that this is a time where we need to be cautious in

The Dow opened at the red last night and ended up slightly higher. This shows that there is confidence in the US markets. The PSE also opened at the green with share prices higher. Although I am a bit disappointed with this and having sold half my MWC shares @ P13.50 (I still have the other half moving up at P14) , I am consoled by the gains in my GMAP (P4.45) and SECB (P34.50). Should there be

Seeing the disappointing news that came out over some US companies, housing and unemployment, I feel that we are heading towards some weaker trading. Given the MWC has risen significantly over these past few days I decided to sell half of my holdings today @ P13.50, giving myself a 24.5% profit, not bad. I sold only half because I can never be sure how the market moves and if I could still get

Every chronicle has to have a head start shouldn't it? I started this blog as a way of chronicling my development in stocks investing and probably to share some good financial advice which will be a waste if only a few can hear about it. I will be spilling the beans from a 30 year stock market investor through this blog to which I hope some can learn from.Just a brief introduction of our

As I have said in my last post, I'm keeping my position as an investor in the PSE. It seems with the current performance in the US and with Asian markets lower by 2-3%, we can expect some cyclical movements in the market within this week. Profit making will happen as some investors take advantage of gains. We can expect some fear as Morgan Stanley reports a bigger than estimated loss. It

It seems that after Friday's (April 17) big gain, there has been some profit taking with prices going lower. The Dow fell 3% due to concerns over credit card companies. It seems that we're going to have some market corrections as the gains seen were too fast.We believe that stocks may go lower 10-15%. Have stocks bottom out? Yes it has - before it grew 20% a few months before. I don't see stocks
