MUSX --> Greenergy

I have been constantly looking for stocks to trade, either for value investing or for some punting.  Even before when I was just simulating my trades, I have been playing around with MUSX since it has a little bit of predictability on its share prices.  Short term trading is possible since the price of the shares are not that volatile.

What piqued my interest with this stock is on its future plans as a company.  Based on recent disclosures, MUSX is already divesting from its semiconductor businesses, and is actually changing its name from Music Semiconductors to Greenergy Holdings, Inc.  The new name seems to be connected to renewable energy.

I am thinking, at current levels, the stock may be so undervalued given the potential of the company's rebirth. If one buys at 0.067, even small amounts of increase would give tenfolds of profit.  Interesting...

I just don't know what are the possible effects of a high free float level (96%).  This lessens the financial flexibility of the company in terms of equity issues.

Below is the chart for MUSX:
Note that the MACD and RSI show a bearish divergence pattern.  I just don't know if it would hold true in the future.  I wish I could have insider info on this. :D

February 2011

Been busy these past weeks due to midterm exams.  At least for now, I am into longer terms of trading since guarding the price movements of stocks everyday is just time-consuming.

Ms. Market at the start of March generated positive gains in my portfolio.  My February month-end report should have been on a stalemate (could've been more negative) if not for the last minute rise in prices.  Portfolio moved up by 4.14% despite actual cash loss at -0.75%.  My only sale trade for February was on the repositioning of my losing MPI stock, which I placed into PCOR for some oil play.

Here is a quick rundown my current holdings:
Core:
AP (22%) - I'm very happy now with AP because of its very very strong earnings, leading to generous cash dividends with an ex-div date this March.  I love its 1.32 per share, a 4.4% dividend yield!
EDC (21.5%) - Still struggling with this one as current prices are still below my cost.  Earnings report scheduled to come out this March 25!

Momentum Play:
AGI (16.8%) - Was able to average down once, bringing down my cost.
DMC (12.14%) - Seems to be stronger than AGI due to strong developments with Maynilad and DMCI contracts.
PX ( 11.39%) - Talks with MA/MAB for some mining projects plus an increase in Gold price led me to this decision of buying this stock.
PCOR (5.18%) - Bought this stock for some oil play.  Market generally went down due to crisis in the Midwest, which may affect oil supply in the future.

Long Term/Dividend Play:
AMC (6.36%) - Despite growth in revenues and dividends in March, this stock still sticks around the 13 peso range.
FDC (4.47%) - Quite a shame for this stock as it went down as much as near -30%!  I'm still not quite sure if I should buy more of this, perhaps if there are still available funds to infuse.  Probably needs more research on the sugar industry, East West Banking (possible IPO), and the secondary offer of shares in order to increase its outstanding shares.

Mining Play

I did this before with ORE and was quite successful with it.  Lately, MA has been enjoying substantial increase on its prices due to the news that PX has been interested on one of its mines.  I am tempted to get some MA shares because of this, but as soon as PX had a mysterious drop yesterday, PX seemed like a bargain for me.

I was able to buy near the low at 14.3, with ATR being a major seller this morning.  Despite the positive news on the earnings of PX and the nearing ex-dividend this March, major brokers (foreign) went out and shifted towards AEV.  The MCPI has reportedly adjusted the weights of involved stocks, and AEV greatly benefitted from it.  Meanwhile, ICT and PX bore the decrease in prices due to the lessening of their weights.

I used my "sideline" money in buying PX and some of PCOR (oil play).  I've got to replace this ASAP.  Possible sources would be from AGI (good thing prices went up for a gain) and DMC (slightly negative).
