Haunting

Here's my trades for the week.
(1) Unloaded all positions in FLI (finally) at 1.40. It ended the week at 1.38. I don't see any movement in the short term.
(2) Received a cash dividend of Php97.20 from VLL. Seriously, I didn't expected  it. I did remember selling on its ex-date though. It was just small but I'm equally happy.
(3) Loaded up again on MEGW1 at 1.52 it went up to 1.62 and ended the week at 1.55. I still love this stock.

I mentioned last week that I bought IP out of gut feeling. Well yeah, but not entirely true. I started noticing this stock when it spiked on Oct 14th and 15th. Then I started reading about the company. I believe this is a good company and a lot of potential. And then the news of getting one of its subsidiary, IP Converge, listed in the local bourse came out. This made up 42% of my portfolio and has since gained 7% (it went as high as 13% gain before falling back down). I completely ignored the urge of riding the highs and lows mainly due to fear of selling too soon or buying too late. Oh well, a profit's a profit as the saying goes.

My week ended in the green. The index in the red.

Philippine UITF Performance 2016

Image
The Philippine Stock Exchange ended the previous year at -1.6% - one of the tripartite of the Asian Market losers of 2016, just behind China and Malaysia. This of course trickled down to the country's Mutual Funds (MF) and Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITF) which generally settled in the negative territories. There were a few exceptions however with the top 8 Equity UITFs defying the market downturn (5  for Balanced Fund). I was particularly impressed with BDO's Dividend Fund registering an 8.10% increase. In fact 3 funds from BDO booked positive returns. The funds however were not quite as impressive at the end of the prior year. BDO's Sustainable Dividend Fund and Focused Equity Fund ranked 26th (-15.74%) and 27th (-18.11%) respectively that year (ESG Equity Fund performance was not available for 2015). Also, based on BDO's (and a few others) performance, it tends to show that dividend-focused funds were more profitable than their normal counterparts. But thi

Geek Wishlist: External GPU

Image
I just got back from Auckland TechXpo where some tech companies showcase their products. Aside from the usual super-rigs, this got my attention. That's the Omen Accelerator - the newest external GPU enclosure from HP which will be released in NZ in September. I wanted to play my PC games again since I left my decent rig back home. I cannot bring my bulky rig across the Pacific Ocean without breaking the bank. Also, having no permanent address really doesn't help in assembling a super rig once again. This is the closest I could get to a decent gaming experience. I just hope that my Dell XPS 9550 would support this setup. I would wait for the reviews to come in and see if it's worth the price.

Insider Trading Alive and Well?

Image
Is FGEN finally now on a reversal after a 2-year downtrend? Probably. It was up by 15% in the last two trading days of the past week. And as of this writing, it is already up by another 7%. Twin glorious white candles of the past week I knew there's something boiling. Then boom! Alert Message from COL Financial Question remains: Where do you draw a line between Insider Trading and trading based on pure public knowledge? That's rhetorical by the way and I'm not in any way complaining. I got like 14% FGEN in my portfolio I bought near the bottom. So this is pretty much a happy surprise for me.
