Pick of the week for Workweek 35 is SECB... watch also FLI

I still have no time to look through many stocks, but SECB is one that Im seeing with persistent foreign buying. When we add into the consideration that the general market is steadily hovering above 7 K, and SECB appears to be one that is

1) solid fundamentally
2) but not yet threatening 52-week high (meaning, it hasnt gone up enough yet)
3) Invigorating its own activities with 'new' things (remember CANSLIM), even going further spending for a new logo:


The logo is a welcome 'youthful' change from this stale old-y one:


4) consider also the very positive earnings report in recent quarters.

I just hope CEO ViIllarosa is the real long-term visionary that he is being presented. He should truly steer SECB to compete with the Big 3 banks, as he declares the bank will. It's not that hard to best them from the surface, given, for example, BDO's notorious customer service and sly tactics for prevent withdrawals.

Also, make sure to add FLI on your watchlist.  FLI is being supported by two foreign funds. For a relatively-low-volume traded issue like FLI, this will be all it takes to take this realtor back up again to Q2 2013 highs.

Im back!

Although I would have loved to stay in this mode forever...

and get all vacation money from pure trading....

BUT the day job beckons. I was not totally absent from trading, but I failed to find time to jot down picks and trading notes.

The only trades I remember is buying and selling AGI, LRI, and TA in a few short weeks after seeing +5%.

Yes, it seems Im going back to that old strategy of
1) buy only highly-traded fundamentally-sound stocks, and then
2) put sell price the moment you see +5%.

Why go back to quick-in-and-out strategy?

It's ghost month and there seems to be very very stiff resistance at 7 K PSEi. It seems that a powerful resisting force is saying that we dont naturally belong in this index level.

This could be all hullabaloney, but Im relying on this possibility mean time, and make my trades with it in mind.
