Is the PHP on some kind of bubble?

And looks like he is really trying to take credit to repair himself after that bungled hostage operations...

Anyaway, nag 4000 daw intra-day pero heavy selling as it reached that price level prevented the index from maintaining it there. It closed slightly lower. Bagsak yan bukas for sure... And Wall St. looks to open lower as well...

Due na rin ang PSE for a big correction... Pero yung mga corrections in the past few months isn't big enough for a buyback.

but of course, we already know that

'Hot money' inflow at $494-M in September
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/business/...94-m-september

MANILA, Philippines - Foreign portfolio investments or "hot money" continued to flow into the country, posting a net inflow of $494 million in September, the central bank reported Thursday.

This was more than 10 times the $47 million net inflow registered in the same month last year, and the highest since May 2008.

Gross foreign portfolio inflows, meanwhile, totaled $1.42 billion in September, and gross outflows were $928.62 million.

For the first 9 months of the year, the Philippines had a net portfolio inflow of $1.42 billion against an inflow of $229.13 million in the same period a year ago.

The United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, Luxembourg and Hong Kong accounted for 80% of portfolio investments in the January to September period.

Placements in the stock market accounted for $5.3 billion or 74% of the $7.2 billion registered investments with the central bank in the 9 months. The balance was in local-currency government debt and time deposits.

Registered investments during the period were up 53% from a year ago. Registration of foreign investments with the central bank is voluntary, but is required if investors want to buy foreign currency to be sent out of the country.

That's the problem mga tirador lang mga investments dito. Buying paper only, walang factories. Walang REAL JOBS! Madali lang ibenta ang papel so their commitment is very low...

They have to put those newly printed paper este dollars somewhere...

i don't follow local stocks

all i follow is the USD/PHP

i'm a correlation junkie

you'll know (more or less) how local stocks are doing by watching the exchange rate

USD/PHP is inversely correlated to local stocks

as long as the dollar keeps falling against the peso, local stocks will keep rallying

the dollar strengthened last friday and this morning

musta stocks?

bagsak ba?

hehe

it's all about the dollar

Will the new setup in the US Congress/Senate bring in new confidence in the USD, even if their economy is still reeling?

I think they can only do so much, since the billions of notes they printed have not really augmented the situation. What do you think?

but why would you want a stronger dollar?

a weaker dollar is good for Phil. stocks

anyway, re the Republican win, there are those who say it will be good for the US economy coz there will be gridlock (less govt intrusion better for business)

but there are those who say it will be bad for the US economy coz the Republicans will cut govt spending (the US economy needs govt stimulus)

as for Fed QE, it will only work when consumers and businesses borrow money

the banks already have tons of reserves and the Fed is adding even more to that

but if nobody borrows, the money wont go into the real economy

Bro.,- I do not want a stronger dollar.

I want money pouring in, hot, spicy and steamy!....
