I am okay if I will sell my CALATA shares at 13.88 but the thing is, can I sell it at that price knowing that traders might be dumping a lot of shares today? Fear! it is. 9:33 CAL opens 14.04 and zoom up to 15.94! 9:51 Still playing between 15.92 – 15.94 CAL. Sold [...]

Another good run for CALATA. Actually the best so far with 22% gain just for today. 5M volume unserved on the bid side. Bigger than yesterday by a million. Traded volume has also increase by a million Calata which has a price of 7.5 on the opening day is now trading at 13.94! Almost 100% [...]

Today is the Special Meeting of Stockholders for DIZ (Dizon Copper-Silver Mines, Inc.). Why I am not seeing this? I think I should start reading disclosures more often. WHOOOO! Calata shoots up again! Current price at 13.0 9:43 This is the 4th day of the ascend. Normally there is only 3 days ascend. PXP have [...]

Marc is starting to get noticed by traders/investors as seen on its trading volume today. The house of MANDARIN is leading the top buyers list. Some says the 3rd shipment is already on its way. But still have to confirm from company disclosure.

SMPH (SM PRIME HOLDINGS, INC) closes above the 30 day SMA and a bit pretty volume. Is it now bullish? I would like to think so but it is still too early to say. Observe price-action and volume tomorrow.

Tuesday. This is not a profit taking in normal days. Will this still holds true for CALATA? I would like to think so. Onwards to 10 and beyond! Zoom to 11 at the opening. WOW! 10:15 The price is playing at 10.92 – 10.94 11:00 Ni, Marc, DFNN going north! CAL still playing 10.92 – [...]

Ok CAL shoot up to 9.50 highest of the day so far. I was able to add at 9.4 when it retrace. Now its playing at 9.4 – 9.41 Hope 10 will be breached today. I will try my best to sell it at 10. Sold part of my MARC to buy the 9.4. My [...]

We got this really surprising tip from a source that rumor is going around that billionaire tycoon Henry Sy is looking to buy controlling shares of Globe Telecom. Henry Sy has interestes in a lot of markets — retail, real estate, banking, leisure, etc. This rumored interest in the telecoms industry could have been sparked [...]

On my post last May 22, I see Doji on PXP, the day after that, the price went down thus confirming the change of sentiment (signified by Doji) but it was short lived because on the 24th the price went up again. Either there were new holders of PXP or current holders are adding more [...]

I have been holding DFNN for quite sometime now so I am a bit bias but at least the technical analysis will say for itself. Basing on the graph I could tell that last Thursday there was a formation and it was confirmed on Friday where the price gaps up at the opening. Its very [...]

For the past few days I am trying to figure out what is better, hold and wait for the price to go up or sell it and buy when it bottoms. Few days back I wrote about Why I think holding a stock for long term is not good First of all its not that [...]

I have added few shares to my portfolio for CAL today. I am willing to sell it once I get 10% gain.

  Green green grass! Too green. I hope it can sustain until morning when pinoys wake up and trade tomorrow.

It was a very hectic day and wasn’t able to do much of studies. Plus the market is not that strong. I think a lot of traders are just watching for now. CAL: it was still played by SUN trying to push the price up while at the other end UNICAPITAL which is the underwriter [...]

I am looking at the DIZ stock and it seems it is now bound to bounce since it has already reached its 50% Fibonacci retracement level. The volume seems to suggest there are a bit significant number of traded shares went on this day. But I am not very much eager to get in because [...]

Today it was confirmed that the sentiment for PXP has been changed from being bullish to bearish. As what I pointed out yesterday, there was a doji formation which means that on that certain day traders weren’t bullish nor bearish and to wait for confirmation which happened this day.   As you can see on [...]

I have bought a while ago CAL with average price of 7.35 11:33 As what I have been suspecting, CAL is just a hype. Its now trading at 6.95 1:14 CAL make a come back. Its now 7.47 1:38 Added some CAL at 7.4 Sold some of my SMPH to buy 2:50 Added some CALL [...]

PXP today went as high as 35.9 but almost close at negative. Good thing some traders push it up a little. I have also noticed that MACQUARIE both some shares. Its has sold 37K shares but bought 118K shares. Do they know something we don’t? Looking at the PXP’s chart today we can see a [...]

Today I am with the impression that holding for long term is not really a good idea. Why? Because most of the time I have stocks where I got good gains and then after few weeks/months of holding it suddenly dropped. Yes it is a good chance to buy more but how about if you [...]
