There were three events that hogged the limelight: 2nd Quarter local GDP growth (the good), the DOW moving below 10,000 (the bad), and the hostage crisis at Quirino (the ugly). Ghost Busted 8/20/2010 Ghost Busted (August 20, 2010) Stocks advanced, sending the main composite index to its highest close since January of 2008. In the midst of weakness in the global markets, Philippine stocks gained as 2nd quarter profits soared and economic indicators continued to show strength in the domestic economy. Peaks and Turns 8/13/2010 Peaks and Turns (August 13, 2010) The Philippine market headed for a decline in the past week. This drop was expected since the PSEI was already overbought. Earnings season may have been a good catalyst aside from the optimistic economic outlook. However, the index has already reached its peak for the week''''s run and was bound to pull back. Green Revolution 8/6/2010 Green Revolution (August 6, 2010) Investors and brokers alike were seeing green throughout the week. Except for a slight dip on Friday, the local stock market was strong during the week. The PSEi reached a new YTD high of 3,521.20 during the week but settled for a close of 3,516.28, a gain of 89.33 points or 2.61% compared to last week. The local stock market leaned on local developments for leads, largely ignoring events abroad. Transition Period 7/30/2010 Transition Period (july 30, 2010) The Philippine equities market welcomed a new trading system last week, but the latter failed to fire up investors. The lack of negative news and the use of the new trading system kept volatility at a minimum. Short term traders were sidelined, pulling down trading activity to its lowest for the year. The reduced volatility was a positive for share prices as it created a perception of less risk.     Page 1 of 47 Next>>
