Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Finance Partial to Converting SMC Shares

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:54:00 GMT

Aug. 1--The Department of Finance is partial to swapping the government's common shares in San Miguel Corp. (SMC) for preferred shares, which will earn higher dividends.
Finance Undersecretary Crisanta Legaspi said the government will earn more if it converted its 24-percent SMC interest from common to preferred, adding that the move would prevent further losses brought about by the continued decline in the value of its stake in Southeast Asia's largest food and beverage firm owing to the global financial crunch.
Last month, the government through the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), sought the approval of the Supreme Court to sell its 24-percent stake in SMC.
