    You do this on a daily basis sir? This is your job? Your hobby? Pastime? You scared of this admin? Lack of confidence with our President? Or just plain paranoid?
    Curious as to the WHY's of why you do this -- monitor.

    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

    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.

    dati ko pa po nasabi populist si du30

    baka sabihin mo eto na naman si uls kino-quote uli sarili niya

    pero eto:

    Populist leaders will blame businesses when there are food shortages (hoarding daw)

    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

    Yes, nasabi mo na yan. I am referring to your views now na medyo you criticize na digong and give credit to LP. Tell me, do you still feel strongly na okay lang basta hindi dilaw?

    yes that's the goal

    to make decisions earlier

    when you watch things closely all day everyday you tend to see things regular news readers/watchers don't

    by the time it's on the news it has already happened

    masyado inalagaan ng LP mga ka-uri nila

    kaya nagkaroon ng disenchantment that resulted in a populist president

    when you have too much concentration of wealth at the top this is what happens

    this is the consequence

    etong rise ni du30, hindi ito walang pinanggalingan

    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.

    Haha!

    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!

    well, yan ang consequence

    i know you're tired of me posting like this but even you see it -- favor has shifted towards davao and cebu promdi elites, away from the manileno/forbes-park elite

    ganyan talaga eh

    they're counterbalancing what LP did
