On Broker's Analysis - MEGAWORLD (PSE: MEG)


Meg's top buyers



Time & Sales


Cross sales





This is one of the reason why most of my clients who have megaworld shares sold today. early trading we saw a barrage of buying done by foreign brokers. From the way they aggressively bought up the shares, program buying is their theme for today. Filipino traders have a festival on Meg’s occasion today. Unfortunately, this festivity where local traders are making a profit on foreign brokers’ buying and selling are about to end. The Philippine Stock Exchange are about to adapt a rule hiding a broker’s identity in buying and selling. Once implemented, local traders and investors can no longer “monitor” who’s buying and selling. This rule for me is anti-investor and protects only the big foreign houses. There will be massive front running and investors have no protection whatsoever, specially if they “put an open price order” to their brokers’ discretion. Anyway, that’s another story.

Back to Meg. Program buying have huge impact on the intraday activities of a stock price. A magnitude such as this will definitely buoy up the stock. Same is true to program selling. In timing the “ride”, I look for huge crosses to signal that the “program” is nearing completion or have rested. This is the same example i posted on PEPSI’s broker’s analysis and the relevance of crosses. In Meg, CLSA’s activity is definitely program buying. From near mid 0.70s on the way up to 0.80s. After which, made huge crosses at 0.82 and 0.84. For me that’s the signal that the program was done for the day, thus we sell. If it continues on the next day, buying back even at a price higher than our selling price is not a problem with us. We don’t buy price, we buy momentum and patterns and reasons. Same goes as why we sell.
