PSEi 5,017 +152.79 (3.14%) TURNOVER 6.94B VIOLENT DOWN = VIOLENT UP Not much new insights today except reiterate my call to sell on rally. We will just continue with some facts and events. A dow rally last night of almost 100 points was not able to hold and saw the index down 30 by closing. European futures pointed higher but were now down 1%. No immediate resolution in sight … [Read More...]
LN’s UCC’s May 17
( * * * * * BREATHTAKING BOUNCE * * * * * ) We were calling for a bounce on our local equities, as prices especially for the blue chips have gone to extremely oversold levels... We were looking at 4,850, but the worst (so far) that the index did was 4,864... 14 pts away... Now that the bounce did come our way...? What should we do now...? Looking at the charts of the index per se, we … [Read More...]

PSEi 4,864.23 -113.22 (-2.27%) TURNOVER (or rather OVERTURNED!) 7.97B CARNAGE CONTINUES Just a very short lived morning pop up 27 points, then a no look back selloff to see the index at the day lows. 4800 is right around the corner, and we may just easily hit 4700 tomorrow. From 2B php NFS yesterday, to 700M NFS today. It might take a few days for this aggressive selling by the … [Read More...]

We talked about volatility and there you have it - extreme volatility we saw again today... At any rate, we were predicting a climb in the US equities for the 2nd straight night already which did not come our way... Will the third time be the charm...? I am betting it will be... Yesterday, we saw a bounce on the third liners, but all of them again got sold down again today... Playing … [Read More...]

PSEi 4,977.45 -106.17 (-2.09%) TURNOVER 7.25B Look at the tally below. 2B NFS! More continuation selling from fundies, perhaps not just limited to scarborough China tensions, but overall capitulation due to the renewed Greek Tragedy. Yesterday, I mentioned that, "I'm not particularly fond of some of these heavily beaten favorites, but some of these stocks that have dropped 30 to 40% … [Read More...]

We were contemplating on a relief rally on the DOW over the weekend which so far has not YET materialized... But this should materialize already or happen starting tonight... The US indices are touching minor supports and are way oversold and are indicating that a relief rally should ensue in the coming sessions... Early into the session, we saw the third liners making a beeline to … [Read More...]
Daily Market Selloff May 14, 2012
PSEi 5,083.62 -74.52 (-1.44%) TURNOVER 5.69B There is a saying among some traders in the PSE. That the death knell which will spell a top for the index would be ELI rising. Looking back, this is true enough. Its recent announcement of rights at 1 was a cause for rise to .085, and whatever new reason came for the drop, the market did drop remarkably, nonetheless. Last week, I was talking … [Read More...]

Sell In May And Walk Away : how true is this?
CNN states that it turns out that over the past 50 years, from the end of October to the end of May the S&P 500 index has gained a cumulative 2,806 percent. That's not as huge a number as it may seem at first glance -- on a per year basis it comes to 7 percent. But for a little more than a half year's work for each year, it's better than a sharp stick in the eye. Now, what would happen if … [Read More...]
