MARKET REACTS AT PHILIPPINE MARTIAL LAW 30th ANNIVERSARY

September 21, 2011

As if paying tribute to the 30th anniversary of statesman Ferdinand E. Marcos’ declaration of Martial Law, today’s market ended with almost all stock market indices going down, with the notable exception of the mining and oil sector, with a slightly upward growth of 0.535% from yesterday’s slump. The PSE index closed in today, September 21, 2011, at 4,204.29, 0.368% further downward from yesterday’s index value.

The far-reaching implications of a downgraded Italian debt rating, coupled with increased fears of a Greek debt meltdown continue to bring a wave of uncertainty to Philippine equities trade. In the same light, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has also brought down growth expectations for the Philippines in light of the decline of Western economies as well as the lower growth numbers in the first half of 2011. The World Bank pegged its gross domestic product (GDP) forecast for the Philippines to 4.7% for 2011 and 4.9% for 2012 from its previous expectation of 5% GDP growth.

A slowdown of economic growth may also signal lowered expectations for the Philippine economy.

September 13, 2011

Stocks versus Real Estate,
Who do you thinks win?

#1 Performance: Stocks Win
Based on performance and rate of return, stocks win. The long term mean return of real estate is 3% a year while that of stocks is 9% – 10%. Now given the specific time period of 1978 – 2004, paper investments have trounced the return of hard real estate with the S&P yielding 13.4% while housing delivering an annualized return of around 9%.
