i follow global markets daily not just PH
evolved from following dollar yen (coz importer) to following almost everything (forex, commodities, bond yields etc)
not doing this only recently coz of this admin, been doing this way before pa
but things need to be watched more closely with this admin coz the leader is populist (i've posted dati i see parallels with Venezuela)
populists tend not to be knowledgeable of economics
they come up with ideas without thinking about funding (then it's the job of their finance ministers to come up with the money)
outcome of populist policies are usually not good
for example raising SSS pension
i may not be pro-Aquino but i know when to give a guy credit
he didn't allow raising pension coz SSS can't afford it
but this populist du30 raised it as soon as he became president
coz it's popular
same with ending endo
coz it's popular
Here u go...

I'd do this too if I have the time and know how. My main motivation would be because of my own or families investments on financial instruments. Uls said better to know ahead of time of any market swings. That's most likely to make pre-emptive moves before it's too late..
But whether its work or not, that's another thing.

But it's the government's fault in the first place
In response to high inflation the govt imposes price controls
So businesses stop importing coz they'll be losing money
Which results in shortages
The govt then goes after businessmen to appease the masses
But that doesn't solve the shortage problem
I told them du30 is a populist
His populist policies (end contractualization, tax exemptions for low income earners, raising taxes elswhere, etc) could cause high inflation
So in reaction, the govt will act like any populist govt -- impose price controls
Which will cause shortages and even higher inflation (and of course widespread anger among the masses)
The govt will then go after businessmen to appease the masses
Im sure you are aware that inaalagaan din ni digong ang taga davao, members of lex talionis at alleged drug lords. So pareha lang kahit sino pa ang uupo dyan. Pero at least sa LP hindi ka ganito ka stress mag monitor ng world economy at currency fluctuations.

Anytime you think Mocha Uson couldn't get any dumber, she just sets the bar a lot lower.....
Nabutas na ang floor level, bumababa pa rin!
