34. โBuy Nowโ or โBuy Laterโ?
Buy Now
Positives:
o No possibility of missing out
Negatives:
o Opportunity cost of capital
o Possible ST losses
o Emotional impact of ST losses or
โprospectingโ
Prospect theory explains why people
would rather place money in SDAs
(2%) than buy PLDT stocks (7% div
yield)
35. โBuy Nowโ or โBuy Laterโ?
Buy Later
Positives:
o No opportunity cost of capital
Negatives:
o Nobody knows the bottom
o Prices may be significantly higher
later
o โAnchoringโ bias might cause
investors to miss out
Technical

Anchoring bias explains why most
investors did not buy the PSEi in
4Q09 despite the technical BUY
signal
36. โPeso Cost Averagingโ
Is a Good Compromise
Peso Cost Averaging Strategy
o Buy only a fixed value of stocks in a period of time
o Buy only when thresholds are hit (ex., โbuy below priceโ)
Positives:
o Limits the amount of exposure
o Improves average buying price assuming stock prices continue to drop
o Creates discipline, removes โemotionsโ out of investing (prospecting,
anchoring)
37. โPeso Cost Averagingโ

MBT (Php76.80, FV: Php100.00)
o
o
o
o
o
Prices have corrected to attractive levels
BDO now at 1.6X 14E P/BV while MBT now at 1.4X 14E P/BV
Rising interest rates will only hurt banksโ trading income
Demand for loans remains robust
BDO and MBT are less dependent on trading income to generate profits
given their large size
40. New Stock Picks
ALI (Php26.15, FV: Php36.08)
o Property prices and demand for properties are not expected to weaken
despite higher interest rates
o Steep decline in prices of property companies an opportunity to buy,
with ALI now trading at 38% discount to NAV, wider than its historical
average discount of 26%
o ALI is expected to deliver among the faster earnings growth despite its
larger size
o Other strengths include its huge landbank and numerous rental
properties
41. New Stock Picks
SMPH (Php14.82, FV: Php19.41)
o A hybrid consumer and property play
o Despite its larger size post merger with other SM property companies,
around 60% of revenues and 70% of EBIT in the next few years will still
come from rental income
o Larger size provides numerous advantages over the LT such as the
ability to roll-out large-scale master planned mixed use developments
and more financing options
o Valuations are also attractive, with SMPH trading at 20.1X 14E P/E vs.
consumer sector average of 27.4X and 31% discount to NAV.
42. New Stock Picks
Removing PGOLD and RLC
PGOLD
o Stock could underperform the market as valuations are no longer
attractive
o Stock trading at 23X 14E P/E, earnings growth to slow to 13% in 2014
from 36% in 2013
RLC
o We still like the company but we feel that ALI is a better play
o RLCโs earnings growth is expected to be slower compared to ALI
since its portfolio is more defensive, largely comprised of mall and
office rental properties
