================================
As promised in my last post, Back from the Hack, we are resuming all our activities both in our website and Facebook starting August 1, 2019.
This section of our website has been running for the past five years. Perhaps you are asking, why Top Ten Smart Money Moves? This is what I have written in my new book: “Swing Trading with TRT – A Definitive Guide for Swing Trading the Philippine Stock Market.”
“SMART MONEY
The PSE achieved a milestone by the end of the year 2018 when they reported that the number of stock market accounts broke past the one million mark as a result of the substantial increase in online accounts.
Retail investors owned most of the stock market accounts, representing 97.5% of the total accounts while the remaining 2.5% is held by the institutional investors also considered as smart money.
While we, the retail traders, are big in number, we are small in terms of influence in the stock market because more than 50% of the Total Traded Value Daily is accounted for the institutional investors whose transactions are focused mostly on a handful of their selected stocks.
In our Website, we have a regular feature “Top Ten Smart Money Moves” where we monitor the Top Ten stocks being bought and sold by the smart money.

PHL stocks extend decline on virus uncertainties
August 26, 2020 | 9:00 pm
PHILIPPINE SHARES went down on Wednesday, along with several Asian stocks at the time of the market’s closing, as investors continued to yield to uncertainties caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The 30-member Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) shed 22.11 points or 0.37% to close at 5,931.33, while the broader all shares index dipped 4.36 points or 0.12% to end at 3,544.24.
“Generally, we still have a downwardly biased market given the uncertainties stemming from our pandemic situation coupled with our weakened economy and its dim outlook,” said Japhet Louis O. Tantiangco, a senior research analyst at Philstocks Financial, Inc.
“We don’t have any compelling factors so far that could stimulate confidence in the market which explains our lackluster net value turnover,” he added.
The market recorded a value turnover of P4.91 billion on Wednesday, slightly higher than the previous day’s P4.56 billion. Some 1.22 billion issues switched hands, slightly lower than Tuesday’s 1.25 billion issues.
Net value turnover stood at P4.83 billion, which Mr. Tantiango said is lower than the year-to-date average of P5.87 billion.
“Our net foreign outflows are also building up again. We’re already on a 7-day net foreign selling streak averaging P577.69 million per day,” he added.
Net foreign selling grew to P614.1 million on Wednesday from P463.07 million on Tuesday.
“There is a general lack of confidence from investors. The PSEi is in a clear downtrend in the short term,” AAA Southeast Equities, Inc. Research Head Christopher John Mangun said in an e-mail. “It may continue lower to test support at 5,690 before recovering.”
Most sectoral indices ended Wednesday’s session in red territory. Property gave up 37.34 points or 1.33% to 2,768; industrials lost 38 points or 0.48% to 7,852.84; financials fell 2.66 points or 0.23% to 1,113.53; and services slid 2.52 points or 0.17% to 1,470.77.
Two sectoral indices managed to close with gains: mining and oil went up 26.38 points or 0.45% to 5,818.21 and holding firms climbed 17.04 points or 0.27% to 6,186.11.
Advancers outpaced decliners, 101 against 89, while 51 names ended unchanged.
Asian stocks eased from a two-year high on Wednesday, as a mixed bag of economic data had investors a touch more circumspect about the global recovery, while oil jumped to a five-month peak owing to a hurricane disrupting output in the Gulf of Mexico, Reuters reported.
MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged down 0.1% after hitting its highest since mid-2018 on Tuesday. Japan’s Nikkei was off 0.1%.
The US dollar nursed small losses in currency trading, though moves were muted ahead of a key Thursday speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in which he is expected to outline the central bank’s next steps. — Denise A. Valdez with Reuters
