Philippine Index fell off sharply since it peaked at 7400. As of today
noon, it is at 6584. Around 11.1% decline
since the peak. I personally awaited this long (6mos) just to see our
market "correct sharply" in order to be healthy. And now we are in this
scenario, there are still opportunities and dont let others make you
panic or tell you what to do. Congratulations to those who earned a lot and was able to collect their gains,
and for those who's gains are swept off, hopefully this could be a
learning lesson for us in the future.
Some tips I want to give is that:
First,
just relax, our Economy is still strong, and maybe the strongest in
Asia, having 7.8% GDP QoQ, equal or higher to China's GDP.
Second, this correction is probably brought by many concerns:
- High P/E Value at 23.0
- Steep 35% rally for the past 12months
- Overvaluation is set in place
- Correction in US could really be coming
Third,
We dont want to waste our bullets(money) for now, take time to slowly
get into the markets, as much as possible, stay closest to the supports,
and dont buy into breakouts, as breakouts sometime are falsely made by
Big Traders.
Fourth, Decide on your own, its your money, and dont
let any Insurance, friends or even family tie you up saying they gained
20% in just 6 months.
Fifth, there is no investment in this world
that returns double digit STRAIGHT in 5 or 10years, eventually there
will be times that correction or sideways pattern will YIELD to
investments.
Lastly, Do not put your eggs in one basket, separate
them, not into different stocks, but into different investments like
ROP, Cash, MMF, TD or even different currency. Cash is still king, and
Japanese people nowadays preserve 50% of their Cash in banks, since they
got traumatized with their Economy's collapse since 1990s that wasnt
able to get back to their highs. Life is a cycle, dont blame other
people, learn from it and decide on your own.
For this post, we focus other Philippine Holdings and companies, attached 5yr trendlines and most are Uptrend, possibly
BUY into strongest support and if you bought early, make sure you still
have money to average into next Supports. Long term Supports like below
tend to hold 90% all the time when Economy globally is OK, so find your
own target supports. Goodluck!
