Cebu Property Venture - a disrespected public company

2011-06-10T08:06:00.000-07:00

The company according to PSE website is engaged in real property ownership, marketing, management and development. They are based in Cebu and they owned and develop Asiatown I.T. Park which is the premier destinations of BPO companies looking to do business in Cebu City. It is a joint venture company between province of Cebu and Ayala Land Inc. and became a 75% owned by Cebu Holdings Inc.

Why it is disrespected? Building owners inside Asiatown IT Park are violating agreements made with the company. Parking lots in the buildings are converted into canteens, eateries and office spaces. Greed really is the name of the game for these building owners who violated the covenant just to maximize returns not minding the community as a whole and that they are part of it.

The effect, congested roads since most of the cars can't park inside the building. On any given business day you can see cars lining up the streets since they can't park inside the building anymore. One just wonders why OBO allowed the construction and modification of these structures. Somebody for sure had been paid under the table just to get things done improperly.

My warning with incoming locators and investors is to avoid renting\relocating in these buildings since if they can't follow agreements with a public company they will surely do similar things to you when the time and opportunity comes.

The Buildings:
1. I1 building which converted their second floor parking area to canteen. It is owned by Primary group of companies with Wally Liu as the CEO.

2. Skyrise 1 Building which converted their ground floor parking lot to office spaces. They also bore a hole in the basement going to the Skyrise 2 building. I'm not even sure if the building is structurally sound anymore. It is owned by Skyrise Realty and Development corp. with Harry Valloria as its President.

The San Miguel Promise

2011-05-20T02:37:00.000-07:00

Last month, I attended the corporate roadshow of San Miguel Corporation. The companies they invested are leaders in their industries. I was impressed not just with the amount of dough they invested to acquire these companies but also on how they strategically position themselves in major Philippines industries. From a simple beverage making company, they became a conglomerate with multiple interests in different key economic areas. One speaker said that investing in San Miguel is like investing in the country's future. I believed them especially on the long term.

However, I was dismayed when they suspended their share in PSE for 14 days. Their excuse: to prevent speculation. I respect their views but I think this is part of what's driving the market. We always have speculators. Pity those who invested in SMC when it was 150+ cause they have to wait for 14 days. Such a waste of opportunity.

PSE should not just suspend shares because of some silly excuses, this would hurt small traders and investors. Although their transactions are minute compare to large institutions, it discourages them from believing in the market. Our government is already perceived corrupt and easily manipulated by shady people, I don't want this highly respected institution to be in the same league as well.

Still, I believe SMC will bounce in 1 to 2 years. I believe in the industries they go into and I believe it will generally benefit the country economically.

PLDT buying Digitel - and then there were two

2011-03-29T18:20:00.000-07:00

What's in it for the consumer:
1. Digitel's Sun Cellular is a pioneer in unlimited text and call promo. Other telcos were forced to offer more or less the same promo because of Sun. I'm not sure if the new Sun under PLDT/Smart will offer the same.

2. With the acquisition, the new Sun Cellular can then piggyback on PLDT/Smart infrastructure that results to wider coverage and fewer dropped calls.

What's in it for the stockholders:
1. DGTL posted a net profit of 429 million that's a 65% increase from last year with 15 million subscribers. That's a boost for PLDT/Smart whose subscriber based is more or less flat.
2. In terms of competition, Globe telecom of the Ayala group is the only real competition of PLDT/Smart/Sun. But in terms of subscriber based it only has 25 million against 60 million(Sun subscriber included). This should increase the stock price of the two competing telcos in the short term.

Given the mideast crisis and the Japan tragedy that affected our local market. I would recommend a buy on PLDT and Globe for long term.

Buy on Bargain

2011-02-10T00:51:00.000-08:00

Philippines stocks continue to slide due to global dynamics. With Middle East crisis, China raising interest rates and U.S. economy picking up. Foreign investors are dumping local stocks resulting to what they call bloodbath.

My take on this one is that make this as an opportunity to buy more stocks of companies that have sound business models and good potential upside. Those companies whose earnings are in record highs and are projected to continue their winning streak will eventually correct.

End of Week Invesment Report

2011-02-04T18:50:00.000-08:00

In Wall Street - Positive Corporate Earnings, Rosy Jobs Market and Increase Costumer Spending seems to temper the crisis in the Middle East. However, oil continues to climb while neighboring Middle East countries try to address growing concerns of their respective citizens.

Australia is also poised for recovery after 2 natural disasters(Floods and Cyclone Yasi) struck them. Availability of Australian coal will depend on how long they can secure those mines.

In the Philippines, I advise you to consider the following stocks:
1. SCC - Semirara Mining Corp. - Prices of Coal orders almost doubled due to Australian issue. Sell this stock when it reach Php270

PSE Stock Info: SCC

2. JFC - Jollibee Foods Corporation - Prices went down because of market fluctuation due to the Middle East problem but it has a great upside potential. Sell this stock when it reach Php85

PSE Stock Info: JFC

Philippine Economy grew 7.3 percent

2011-02-01T17:47:00.000-08:00

Main Drivers of Growth:
1. Higher dollar remittances from OFW
2. Mining
3. Construction
4. Manufacturing
5. Business Process Outsourcing

Effects in the Local Market includes:
1. Higher revenues for banks
2. More development for real estate companies
3. Improved consumptions on food and beverages
4. Improve revenue on power and energy

Expect another stellar performance of the local companies in each of the business sectors affected. Invest in these sectors and see your investments grow for the rest of the year.

Middle East Factor

2011-01-29T16:51:00.000-08:00

There is a spreading discontentment in governments around Middle East from Tunisia and now Egypt.
It already is affecting the last day of trade this week and I believe it will continue to do so next week.

For those who wants to by, I advise to wait for the bottom of this before taking action. For those who wants to sell, sell cautiously so it won't compromise your position.

"Buy when there's blood on the streets"

Stock Investing is never a gamble if...

2011-01-28T15:48:00.000-08:00

1. You do it for long term purposes
2. You select stocks of businesses which have good fundamentals and proven track record
3. The company behind the stock has sound business model
4. You follow expert's analysis on a regular basis
5. You won't let your emotions take over decisions on short term fluctuations

Universal Robina Corp - Undervalued - BUY

2011-01-26T21:14:00.000-08:00

As of this writing, URC price plunged to 33.

Southeast Asia's Leading Branded Snacks and Tea Producer succumbed to market sentiments. However, you can never trade away the fundamentals of this undervalued company.

1. They have over $1billion dollars in sales
2. They are spearheading the use of sugar substitute that increases margins of their products
3. The products they carry are leaders in their categories which ranges from Snacks, Candies, Chocolates, Cookies, Pretzels, Canned Beans and Tea

C2 Ice tea, Chippy, Cloud 9, tortillas are just examples of well-known brands they carry.
The current market price is so attractive that the company is even buying back some of their shares.

Analysts estimates that shares should be worth 41+.

Stocks you must buy on Weakness

2011-01-24T19:01:00.000-08:00

The past several days, we see the market going down sharply. It's an onslaught and it's the opportunity to buy stocks that are either undervalued or have 15% or more upside.

I personally recommend the following stocks:
1. Cebu Pacific - CEB
2. Universal Robina - URC
3. Aboitiz Power - AP
4. Filinvest - FIL
5. First Philippines Holdings - FPH
6. Energy Development Corp - EDC
7. International Container Terminal - ICT
8. Rizal Commercial Banking corp. - RCB
9. Metro Pacific - MPI
10. Robinson Land - RLC

These stocks give you the best possible returns when the market becomes bullish again.

Trade on!!! :)

Be Ahead of the Mob

2011-01-23T19:31:00.000-08:00

We heard so many people burned their life savings because of not properly trading in the stock market. When everybody's buying stocks, you also have a tendency to buy. When everyone is selling so are you. Unfortunately, this will get you nowhere but down.

Never allow the herd mentality to affect your judgment, look at the fundamentals and analyst recommendations. Be above the market, be ahead of the mob for you will get slaughtered if you join them.

Fundamentals are the key...

Cebu Pacific - A Great Bargain - BUY

2011-01-22T23:11:00.000-08:00

Cebu Pacific's IPO price was P125. It was a buy on this price but the prospect of stiff competition moving forward with the entry of several budget airlines namely Zest Air, Air Asia, Airphil Express and Tiger Airways. It's price suffered because of this sentiment. It has gone down to P90-P100 territory.

Analyst from different financial provider said that the true valuation of Cebu Pacific is around P140+. They had a record breaking 2010 revenue and more brand new planes are coming to service international routes. They are also adding more schedules and are opening more international destinations.

In my own opinion, other carrier should be wary of Cebu Pacific instead of the other way around. Why?

1. They have a great management team
2. They are adding international routes eating up the competition
3. They have newer and more efficient planes
4. They have the Go Hotel concept which I think is a great way to synergise with their real estate(hospitability business) sister companies
5. They provide one of the best online deals

The price is so cheap now, Cebu Pacific thinks the company is undervalued that they are buying back shares. Last time I check the mother company bought 4.62 million shares.

They need to improve on their customer service though.

Merging the Fundamentals with the Technicals

2011-01-21T22:07:00.000-08:00

Fundamental traders are very different from technical ones.
If one looks at earnings, dividends, management, industry and how sound the business model is. The other one is into charts, patterns, curves, supports and resistance. Each one has it's own advantages and disadvantages. To get the best of both worlds, I recommend doing a hybrid. How?

1. Select stocks based on it's fundamentals
2. Trade those stocks using technical analysis

On the short term, technical analysis almost always helps predicts the direction.
On the long term, companies with sound business fundamentals always rise.

Tip: Never ignore analysis from known providers such as ATR Kim Eng and others. Why? because they hire people just to focus on these things. I specifically mentioned ATR Kim Eng since I follow most of their forecast and it's generally right.

Purpose Driven Investments

2011-01-20T19:06:00.000-08:00

I attended a symposium on investing last December 2011.
The main speaker was Rex Mendoza, an executive of Ayala Land.

He made several interesting points on why we should earn and invest while we are young.

1. For yourself - You need to reward yourself either by traveling, buying a new car, building a retirement house. "Dreams have deadlines" so indulge.

2. For your family - As we grow old, health related expenses will rise. It's good to have a considerable nest egg so we don't become a burden to family members.

I found these very valid especially the second point. It happened to so many people I know. One thing for sure, We can't allow ourselves to become a burden to our sons and daughters.

Equity Investing - Lessons are always learned

2011-01-19T00:42:00.000-08:00

It's been ages since I've updated this blog. Gone through market crisis that shook the world, read investment books, read more about how Buffet did it, traded here and there. 2009-2010 passed by and I dubbed it as my age of awareness in the financial markets.

For two years, I managed to maintain a healthy portfolio and was able to re-invest some of my profits in real estate and trust funds. Still 60% of my investments is in equities and I don't plan to make any changes. You learn as you watch and trade the market everyday.
