Given this issue's recent retracement, this issue is looking good again.

It's recovered quite nicely from the year-end sell down

It seems consolidating nicely for an assault on 52 week highs anew

They're very insecure about relegation to mere #3 or worse in the totem pole of the local banking industry and I'm wondering how market price action will react if they purchase secb or rcb

[whipsaw]

does anybody have an idea or even a guess whats happening to this stock lately? Unusually huge volume of daily trades already for a couple of weeks but stock price is barely moving. Distribution or accumulation?

[cbdude]

huge vol without price movement is an indication of institutional investors are acccumulating, watch out for the distribution when the vol dries up moving ahead with uptrending price

Unlike Lopez stocks, the Ayala Empire suffers no discount for negative sentiment

It's easier for MArket MAkers and insiders to deMAnd a premium

[bukojoe]

got this @59 last Feb pa, grabe mag april na 59 pa din ...sana nga tumaas, hoping for uptrend...

[bosschief2]

conservative BPI means write-backs of provisions. 2005 earnings and book value revised upward due to IAS. unlike some of their large competitors, which will see big write-downs.

[camel]

I MAy have to adjust my bids higher in a few days

[cbdude]
