Foreign Brokers Dumping Philippine stocks ahead of Estrada Verdict

Follow the 'smart money', they say.

With foreign money accounting for 50-60% (from 70% in the 80's and 90's ) of volume on the Philippine Stock Exchange, It's hard to deny that wherever they go, so does the market.

Last week, Meralco led decliners in a sideways market; off from highs of Php116 pre-subprime rout to a close of Php79 today. Foreign brokers like Macquarie and JP Morgan dominated selling activity.

While other reports attribute this selling to a new system of billing; this writer opines that with the collective world market holding its breath until a new Fed rate comes out on the September 18, the Philippine bulls will have to follow local leads, which is in this case the September 12 Supreme Court ruling; all with complex consequences to the country.

Hi Martin. Read your blogs :) Well, since I can't comment on the issues coz you know I'm a bit jaded of stocks, finance and bankings... (and you know you'll have to start explaining everything to me) I decided to put up this site as a link to my Multiply. :) (cherryinashotglass.multiply.com)

Remember that you are always in my heart. Take care. I'll see you in time.
