PH stocks: Technicals, Fundamentals, & 3A


Recommended Posts

ROLLING OVER? Led by MEG possibly

MEG / Megaworld... vs.AGI, PSEI ... update / Last: P4.80 -0.04, -0.83% /

MEG is weaker than PSEI (7,972, +0.21%), and may be sliding away from resistance near P4.95 > 10d

I think MEG is right now a key bellwether to watch, since it was the strong property sector which has helped to hold up the PSEI,

after it made a record high back in Jan. 2018

PSEI (7,972, +0.21%) - maybe be backing off from "round number" resistance at 8,000

STOCKs - in terms of Gold prices

Here's the chart for US Stocks, the S&P 500 in Gold ounce - shows the "echo bounce" since 2016 and earlier

 How much?  The SPX is now near 2.0x Gold oz, but could be rolling over into a deeper slide

Similar chart for Philippine Stocks vs Gold

This is imperfect. since I divide the Php price of PSEI by Gold in in US dollars. However, It also shows a stock rollover may be underway

JHK's future scenario might match that of Robert Prechter :

Howe & Strauss who have looked at Generational Cycles are more optimistic

In the first part of this three-episode series, Real Vision co-founder Grant Williams sets out on another journey of discovery. Williams goes on the road to speak with Neil Howe, author of “The Fourth Turning.” According to Howe, there’s plenty to learn about the future by looking at the past. Kicking the series off, the two consider the ironic phenomenon whereby human actions intended to mitigate natural cycles actually tend to exacerbate the downturns in those cycles. Looking at generational patterns, cultural trends, and the cyclical nature of history, Howe and Williams discuss the challenges that the combination of cycles and human hubris pose to markets and to society. Filmed on April 3, 2019 at several locations in the Washington area, including Neil’s home and Great Falls National Park on the Potomac River in Great Falls, Virginia.

TBGI had a good day.   Up 0.02 to 0.345 ( > more  than 6% ) on Good volume, 50M

sS8EuSg.gif

TS says:

"Yup, that entry point was highlighted in messages in this viber chat (those who have been here last week would hv seen those messages)."

"Why is TBGI undervalued? Only 1.3 B mkt cap now at 0.345 (what more at 0.315?). Considering a backdoor shell's asking price now is 600 mil with no assets at all.'

"Most important is to read all past disclosures of TBGI at PSE Edge. Then each person can make his own judgement."

ROLLOVER ? There was a 157 point, +1.94% jump in PSEI on Tuesday on Inflation News.

Does that rise change the Bearish picture? No!  Not for me

Rollover?  I am sticking to my guns.  Despite the rally yesterday.  Watch AGI & MEG as bellwethers. They remain weak

MEG / Megaworld... vs.AGI, PSEI ... update : 10d / Wed: MEG: 4.93 -0.40%, PSEI: 8,119 -1.18%, AGI: 11.72: -0.17%

4M0hCqy.gif

If you read charts they way I do, we may soon find out how effective AGI & MEG are as bellwethers. 

I think they are signalling buyer resistance, and weakness in the all important property sector (for PH).

In US: The impeachment thing is a hoax, to try and give the Dems something to run on in 2020. 

It will soon be steamrolled by IG reports on Dem misbehavior. 

The Deep State may use a recession and money tightness to try to undermine Trump's presidency, when the impeachment madness fades

Some Property related comments from TS's 3A viber chat

TS: What's your view on physical properties?

DB: OVERPRICED. And especially new properties which are overpriced by maybe 20-30% vs the secondary market,  Yields are poor on new properties.  Buyers will need at least 5-10 years to breakeven

Some properties in the secondary market with yields on 8-10% or more may be worth buying, But not in places like Manila Bay, where rental yields are propped by temporary factors, which may be reversed in POGOs move to specific areas, and away from M-Bay

Property stocks will rollover as awareness spreads that there is INTENSE buyers resistance to the high priced new properties.  (This phase is called "buyers remorse", since after the turn buyers of new properties will regret their purchases, and developers will be left with a glut of returned and unsold properties.  Banks may even choke, and refuse to finance the very high balloon amounts, presently on offer - like 80% at Completion. Ugh! They will need more bank finance than they are worth.)

/Added in edit - "The 80% Balloon Problem"/:  Many Buyers now can pay just 20% over the 4-5 years up to completion.  Previously, they needed to pay 50% or so.  The Balloon of 80% is also on a much higher price - with a lower prospective yield than 3-5 years ago, because Rents have not kept pace with rising property prices. To be honest, the 80% which will be remaining due before the keys are handed over is probably more than the saleable value of the property (in the secondary market) at the time it is purchased.  So buyers are really buying an Call OPTION, and betting on a rise in the value of their under-construction property.  If the rise does not materialize, it is likely they will NOT proceed to pay the balloon amount, especially if they need to borrow to fund it.  In addition, under MACEDA law, they can get back HALF of what they paid, so a defaulting buyer will be expecting 10% back from the developer, leaving the developer with a cushion of only 10% on an overvalued property. 

(Is this not a formula for disaster?  Why are so few people talking about this?)

(Are you sorry you asked?  haha)

TS: Nope because that would have been my answer too and maybe even more dire

As proven by history, bubbles normally correct the rise by as much as 80% in 3 years. Recall that I put here the screen shots of my forecast of a bubble top for bitcoin right at the 20,000 level in Dec 2017.  I said it will fall by as much as 70-90% in 2-3 years.  I was wrong. It fell by 80% in one yr.

DB: (Something that annoys me off is how totally IGNORANT the sales people are within the big developers.  They don't know what YIELD is.  If you ask them how much a property will rent for, they tend to invent "Daily" rates from the AirBNB market, and then multiple those figures by x30 days.  This is highly. er, disingenuous, and gives highly inaccurate yields - since Airbnb properties rarely rent out from more than 50-65% of a month, and there are extra costs in running a Short term airbnb business. haha.

TS: I prefer the Warren Buffett way of being in stocks than property. Oh not just stocks but all tradable instruments and both on the long and short side, if warranted.

DB: ILLIQUIDITY may become a big problem in the property market soon,,, as the mainland Chinese who bought here find that they cannot sell their completing properties at anything near the prices being listed by developers.  Then we may see a very swift correction of 20-30% in prices of New properties

( BTW, there is a regular Saturday morning meet up in Makati. Where we discuss property investing.  My views are informed by conversations I have had with many people at those meetups.)

The World's Shrinking Population


Dire predictions about an impending overpopulation crisis have loomed large in the human imagination for centuries. Darrel Bricker and John Ibbitson co-authors of, "Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline," say these predictions have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, the global population is on the decline. They join The Agenda to discuss a shrinking planet and the myriad challenges it poses.

For those who think that Ayalaland is the most successful PH property stock, take a look at THIS chart

RLC / Robinsons Land -vs: ALI & SMPH ... All-data : 10yr: 5yr: 2yr: 1yr fr.11.08.18/ RRLC: 26.70, ALI: 47.00, SMPH: 40.00

So i took a look at RLC since it started trading (see above) and was surprised to find that RLC outperformed ALI, though not SMPH, since its listing back in 1995, 25 years ago.

TS: "Although nothing is that sure in financial markets, both RCI & TBGI look constructive. Barring any global panic or force majeure, both are showing dwindling selling pressure for the moment. Low of RCI today was 1.88 and low Nov 6 was 1.74. TBGI low today 0.325 and low Oct 10 was 0.31."

ROLLOVER Narrative is still ALIVE - a Right Shoulder (RS) in place now?

Here's why I am sticking to the Rollover narrative - on these property-related stocks

ALI vs. RLC, smph, MEG, AGI (weakest) ... update : fr.5/19 : Prop.Cycle-3yr : 10d : / ALI:

2Iu4dsy.gif

The bigger picture, as shown on page 1:

KEAT91m.png

BTW, if property stocks did peak in July 2019, then there is likely to be a very obvious downturn in the physical property market within 6-12 months after that peak, if the usual historical pattern holds.  I have watched this pattern unfold in: the UK, the US, and in HK.

( It does take some confidence in technical work, to come out at key test moments and repeat the reasons why I stick to my guns,  I have done this more than once. I can be wrong, and with these very precise charts, I will probably know pretty quickly, if I have it wrong,  Yet, so far so good. haha. I actually don't mind when people disagree with me.  Because I will change my view pretty quickly, if the evidence comes in.. showing my narrative is no longer valid.  I think it is a bit like a horse race.  There may be a horse out there with my colors on it, one that I supported.  But if another narrative gets stronger, I am willing to change my bet. haha )

COMMENTS on Property - from a Viber chat

Q: What is the outlook for property in 2020 for the Philippines? Is it advisable to still buy or sell given the pervading environment ? (PL)
A1:
If ALI falls below the 252d/One Yr Moving average (where it is now), as I expect, I would be very cautious, especially on over priced new properties.  And especially if it slides sharply lower. (DB)

ALI / Ayala Land vs.- SMPH, PSEI, MEG … from May 2019 / ALI: 46.50, SMPH: 39.90, PSEI: 8,012, MEG: 4.85

QWv0MHP.gif
A2:
Perhaps each person should ask himself: what would have been Metro Manila property prices and sentiment if the POGO did not happen? … Also, even in financial instruments, having a view for specifically 2020 is like slicing the cake too closely.  Since property is far less liquid, a view of 2020-2025 is probably better perspective.  And for that, my personal view is that global equity markets will be far weaker.  And if so, many other asset classes worldwide will follow suit. (TS)
A3:
I am willing to be more specific (and more wrong) than TS.  New properties are overvalued by at least 20-30% relative to the second hand market,  In my view, that excess will begin to be corrected in 2020, and it will take at least 3-5 years to correct.  Some extreme sales may be more than 30% below current levels… Almost no one who buys new properties in the second half of 2019, will be able to cash an easy profit, until the next up turn in the cycle.  No probs.  I sold one property this year, and may replace it.  But I am looking for a bargain in the secondary market, where I would expect to get a 10% gross yield - maybe more. (DB)

Q: How to get a 10% Yield?
A:
BUY CHEAP.  Know the rental value, and don't pay more than a price that would give you a 10%+ yield.  The PRICE in the secondary market is set by buyers and sellers, and a Cash buyer has strong negotiating power when there its a motivated sellers.  There are properties I am looking at now that meet my target.  Each has certain advantages and disadvantages

Q: Perhaps then more real estate bargains will be available in 2020
A:
Yes.  That is very likely.  So I am in no hurry.  But if I buy cheaply enough, I can enjoy some good cash flow, while I await better bargains in 2020-23

Tough day for ALI & PSEI. at close:

ALI   : 44.90 : - 1.05, - 2.29%
MEG :  4.70 : - 0.08, - 1.67%

Even tougher for two 3A stocks
ATN :  0.90  :  - 0.14, - 13.5%
TBGI :  0.31  : - .015, - 4.67%
RCI   :  2.00  :  +0.08, +4.17%

Comment on ATN:

"Shareholders approved a 0.20 debt to equity conversion. That's why the stock has weakened. It is emotional trading now. At some point, bargain hunters will come in and the stock would bottom out and start to recover. At that point (usually selling pressure abates after 5 business days), the determining factor to price will be once the company sells its inventory of crushed rocks of which the value they have disclosed before."

PSEI UPDATE

Q: "That’s the line between 2015 and today. I want to see how that line rose and fell against the average."

PSEI chart... 10 yr : / Last: 7,750

"If 7500 gets broken with conviction... Watch out below !"

Tr2omI2.gif

TS:

"The relevance of no net progress, aside from the buy-and-hold camp, is a hint on a long topping process as graphically shown. The phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" has even a lot more significance in financial markets."

"Thus, there seems to be a disconnect between the bullishness (at times overly bullish) of the majority all this time (as gleaned from news articles and written/oral views of many) vs. data from the actual market. Thereafter, one has to determine for himself whether the market is a leading, coincident or lagging indicator."

"My opinion is that (a break of 7500) is forthcoming within 12 months; despite any rallies prior."

DB:

"Could be sooner based on the chart.  Jan or Feb maybe?... A test is coming soon, I think.  Support near 7500 may hold. Or Not,  We will see"

Will the break happen?

Sometime Megaworld (MEG) has been a bellwether.  And a break of the next important support level near P3.75, may give an early warning.

PSEI vs-MEG ... update / MEG: 4.29 is .055% of 7.750

Possible E-wave Count

nwKayKn.jpg

J : Here is my wave count for PSEI; a break below 7,500 will signal wave C of IV is underway.

DB: Interesting.
Prior A-B-C correction was 3820>1685 (-53.5%)
If this ABC is same, then 9,078 x 46.5% = 4,221

Higher levels of support might be 6,500, 5,610 (61.8% of Peak) and 4539, 50% of the Peak
