Daily Maket Notes
LN’s UCC’s May 17
After the MSCI rebalancing, the market kind of lost focus for awhile and as it is, we are entering currently a phase of healthy correction so to speak... It is no secret already that the additions are : MPI, DNL, EEI, PIP, RFM, PF... While those who got the boot out are : SMC, GTCAP, MEG, PGOLD, RLC, SECB... I think the market kind of got skewed by the sudden supply and probably demand … [Read More...]

PSEi 7,279.87 -31.07 (-0.42%) TURNOVER 13B So Much Carnage Wall Street drifting slightly lower was enough to continue yesterday's local selling momentum. Remember that yesterday, without SM's big 1B NFB, we might have netted 1B NFS actually. On a glass half full note, we saw AUB received well with all quick punter sellers absorbed on its day 1 ipo debut, plus the day's losses were … [Read More...]

PSEi 7,310.94 -81.26 (-1.10%) TURNOVER 11.04B Manila Stocks Crumbled Increasingly. Wall Street surprised with a recovery despite a weaker early morning session. It would follow expectation that our PSEi would follow a similar strong path, flat at worst, but it seems the recent Morgan Stanley Index Quarterly realignment gave reason for selling other stocks. Remember that … [Read More...]

PSEi 7,392.20 +78.74 (1.08%) TURNOVER 21B with major block sales: ICT 8.1B ABSP 2.3B NEW HIGHS AGAIN! 7400! I bet no one could have imagined we would hit 7400 this fast this soon? Well, bullish remarks from a fund manager saying that the bullishness will go on for Wall Street helped them establish further new highs, which in turn helped Asia even higher. Meanwhile, Europe was … [Read More...]
LN’s UCC’s May 15
The market continues to make new highs and at dizzying heights... Today again led by ALI, TEL, SM and SMPH, and the banks MBT, BDO and BPI... Conversely still seeing new lows and not seen stopping is the mining sector... ALI led the properties higher again, and while MEG languished, it was time for FLI to shine... FLI reported better 1st quarter earnings today, in the process breaking above … [Read More...]

PSEi 7,313.46 +51.08 (0.70%) TURNOVER 9.82B NEW HIGHS! The local index initially sank down 20 points, largely due to AEV'S mysterious drop to 55 at the open, which sliced off about 12 points in the index. BY CLOSING, index gains from TEL MBT BPI propelled the index to new highs past 7300. This is a reaction rally to the peaceful elections, still another excuse to push the market, … [Read More...]

Post elections brought forth higher markets, and another all time high for the index... Today's uptick led by properties and banks... We were talking about BDO and BPI, and though both did climb higher, the bigger money to be made was in MBT, and of course, its mother GTCAP... BDO higher to P95.00, MBT new 52 week highs of P138.90 before closing right at P136.00... BPI high of P106, … [Read More...]

How much is the Vatican worth?
Now that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning his post soon due to age, a lot of attention is now focused on the vatican once again. Aside from his health, could there be any other reasons plaguing the vatican? Money problems the vatican butler threatens to reveal? In my scouring the net, I am not one inch closer to any figure, as there are as much conspiracy theorists supposing that the Vatican … [Read More...]

How much is Lance Armstrong worth before and after confessing on doping?
Lance Armstrong was worth a lot before confessing on doping. $125 Million dollars earned from various sponsorships from his 7 championships. He was still worth his value in news as the Armstrong broadcast on Oprah itself could well exceed the 3.5 million viewers for that show. He will still have a lot left over after some of his bounty is returned. At the peak of his career, Lance was one … [Read More...]

How much is the Disney Acquisition of Lucasfilm really worth to Disney?
By now, everyone knows that the $4.05 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm by Walt Disney was a major coup for both sides. For one, Lucasfilms now has the money and reach to further its products perhaps well into future generations. Disney, on the other hand, has won a stable solid franchise with loyal enduring fanbase both young and old, which will span not just into new Star Wars movies, but … [Read More...]

Best Alternatives to Installous after jailbreaking iOS 6
Now that the evasi0n jailbreak is days away, iOS 6 users of Iphone 5, ipad mini, ipad 4 and 5 and the like are wondering what to replace the recently shutdown Installous with? And for the record, I don't think their reason for shutting down is true. Installous said their reason for shutdown is "not enough community, views, and support", or something to that effect. I think they felt the "heat" … [Read More...]
