================================
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.

Shares rebound as investors hunt for bargains
August 14, 2019 | 9:00 pm
LOCAL SHARES recovered on Wednesday as investors hunted for bargains despite continued negative sentiment due to the Hong Kong protests.
The 30-member Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) went up 0.9% or 70.20 points to close at 7,858.65 yesterday. The broader all-shares index also climbed 0.56% or 26.70 points to 4,768.92
“The PSEi did a rebound from [Tuesday]’s slump as investors hunt for bargains. With some blue chips reporting stellar earnings performance [on Tuesday], investors rushed to get in to SM (SM Investments Corp.), JFC (Jollibee Foods Corp.), ICT (International Container Terminal Services, Inc.), ALI (Ayala Land, Inc.) and BDO (BDO Unibank, Inc.) which helped lifted the index in the afternoon session,” Jervin S. de Celis, equity trader at Timson Securities, Inc., said in a text message.
However, he noted that foreigners remained as net sellers for the seventh straight session due to cautiousness amid the ongoing Hong Kong protests. Net foreign selling was logged at P959.09 million outflow yesterday, down from Tuesday’s P2.12 billion.
The protest, which has been going on for weeks, has caused hundreds of flights canceled from Hong Kong’s airport. This anti-government movement started in June in response to a proposed extradition bill, which is now suspended, but later on evolved into a movement demanding for democracy and investigations into police brutality.
Papa Securities Corp. Sales Associate Gabriel Jose F. Perez attributed the recovery to the performance of US markets.
“The index ended 70 points in the green at 7,858.65, largely just following optimism from the US market session last night,” Mr. Perez said in an e-mail on Wednesday, adding that this “should be the barometer to look out for moving forward.”
US stocks closed higher on Tuesday after an announced delay of planned tariffs on some Chinese imports brought buyers back to the equities market in a broad-based rally.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 372.54 points or 1.44% to 26,279.91; the S&P 500 gained 42.57 points or 1.48% to 2,926.32; and the Nasdaq Composite added 152.95 points or 1.95% to 8,016.36.
Back home, all sub-sectors ended in the green except for the holding firms counter, which lost 0.15% or 12.19 points to end at 7,658.82.
Meanwhile, industrials went up 2.12% or 227.32 points to 10,928.30; property rose 1.99% or 79.60 points to 4,073; services climbed 1.41% or 22.22 points to 1,591.96; financials gained 0.4% or 7.28 points to 1,826.28; and mining and oil added 0.33% or 27.04 points to end the session at 8,230.03.
Some 1.17 billion issues valued at P6.56 billion switched hands on Wednesday, lower than the previous session’s P8.58 billion.
Advancers outnumbered losers, 112 to 83, while 40 issues were unchanged. — V.M.P. Galang
