How Tactical US-Asian, PH Investors & Traders Prepare for Short-Selling Program

Combined with practical strategies in place!

PH investors and traders would eventually welcome the proposed 'Short-selling Program' by the PSE which is around the corner. For now, most of them would have to contend and wait it out for the time these programs be implemented.

Indeed, long over due especially for investors right to level off the playing field while properly weighing risk / reward on stocks and other financial instruments. At least even if it took more than a decade, it would take the PSE a step closer and be part of a global standard in trading financial instruments.

On the other hand, preparing for such program would at least entail investors and traders another perspective on how it could best be executed when the time comes. A considerable market re-orientation on how to best execute short-selling either as a 'Hedge' or a speculative strategy combined with 'Dollar or Php Cost Averaging' as a dynamic trading methodology must take some serious due diligence. Knowing this in principle is totally different compared with properly having the actual knowledge of how it is best executed to avoid being flat-out of the market where such practical funds would be tied down while it can best be used for other equally potential instruments or stock choices. 

As the embedded 'CULTURE' of trading PH stocks on the long side of the market vs. the short side would have to be learned properly and make adjustments especially before every market intervention takes place. Otherwise, short-sellers would likewise be as susceptible to certain price action activities that would see an adverse direction, no different from being on the buying side of the market. This is practically true with the existing trading practices in the PH stock market as of now is to have clear concept of how the PSE Index moves as the benchmark for PH stocks.

Markets Paying Close Attention

Participants from traders, analyst and investors alike are closely focused on the new inaugurated US President as what his first week moving forward would he really be taking action. This have given the market some breathing room yet the 1st re-attempt to fuel another rally has been quite soft to the dismay of investors. The clamor for #DOW 20k have diminished despite of the come back of Oil and the decline of the #USD. That is why the ability to 'Hedge' what has been gained should be well protected or simply cashing it in for starters. Maximizing full market potential is another alternative trading decision & strategy when called upon. Using Futures market as a market preference. 

The continued weakness of the USD from the 103.56 high to its current levels near the 100 figure have given European majors and Asian currencies a breather for a price recovery which was more than welcomed particularly for CABLE, EURO & the AUSSIE Dollar. Meanwhile the USDJPY have been trading in both directions with a narrowing range from 115 -112.00 plus or minus

The first month of the year's trading is what we call a 'feeling your way' into the market as extreme 'Divergence' between Asia and US markets while the room for price re-alignment is still in the making from the start of January 2017. What it means, would be a clear range trading activity with some attempts of a continued weakness of the USD while secular forces would remain passive. Although, when volumes & momentum do pick up we'll be able to see some price action least expected. For as long as the USD remains and confined within its range we'll be more on a consolidation before any real action occurs.
