This morning&rsquo;s massive launch,  however, came in the form of&nbsp;<a title=\"Aboitiz Equity Ventures\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/stocks\/philippines\/aboitiz-equity-ventures-inc\/\" target=\"_blank\">Aboitiz Equity Ventures<\/a> or AEV in the Philippine Stock Exchange. AEV&rsquo;s price canvas above shows you what exactly I&rsquo;m talking about. Since peaking at <a title=\"Philippine Peso\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/forex\/usdphp\/\" target=\"_blank\">PHP<\/a> 41.50 last December 2010, AEV had been on a steady decline as it had been trading within a <a title=\"Descending Channel\" href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/chart-patterns\/descending-channel\" target=\"_blank\">descending channel<\/a> before it made a bullish breakaway gap to finally break above the said  channel last February 12. Back then, I mentioned that sch move could be  seen as a sign of good things to come. However, AEV just moved in a  sideways fashion after gapping up until earlier today when it literally  skyrocketed by a monstrous 17.50% to close at PHP 47.00 from an opening  of PHP 40.20. Not only that, today&rsquo;s move was also accompanied by a huge  buying that I haven&rsquo;t seen for quite a long time. Imagine, the total  value traded today for AEV reached PHP 3,888,484,220. Moreover, closing  at its high and making a bullish morubozu candle formation in the  process also suggests that there could still be some upside in this  stock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what caused AEV to perform very well in this kind of market?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last February 12 (kindly see my previous post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2011\/02\/12\/aboitiz-equity-ventures-aev-to-be-added-to-msci-philippines\/\">here<\/a>),  I mentioned that Aboitiz Equity Ventures would be included in the MSCI  Philippines Index on February 28, 2011 which is today. Again, MSCI  Philippines is a benchmark that measures the performance of the top  99%  by market capitalization of equities that are listed in the  Philippine  Stock Exchange. I added that inclusion of AEV in the index was and is  bullish for the stock since  international funds that track the it would  then need to buy AEV. And this was what exactly happened earlier today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So looking closer in today&rsquo;s AEV  trading, I found out that the top three buyers of AEV were Philippine  Equity Partners (bought 43,592,700 shares at an average price of PHP  44.7952), ATR Securities Philippines (bought 23,785,400 shares at an  average price of PHP 44.7610), and DBP-Daiwa Philippines (bought  9,651,300 shares at an average price of PHP 45.5227). Among the top  three buyers, the average price (weighted) where AEV was bought was at  PHP 44.8758. This simply means that the investors and\/or traders who  bought AEV today got in at about that price. Therefore, today&rsquo;s closing  of PHP 47.00 only gives them about 4.73% gain. And given the sheer  amount of volume amounting to more PHP 3 billion, it&rsquo;s highly unlikely  that these buyers would dispose of their long positions soon. This then  would make their average entry price of PHP44.8758 a considerable  support.<\/p>\n<p>More on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Space Shuttle Discovery made its last voyage to to space just a couple of days ago, another launch occurred this morning in the Philippines.
