What you see below amounts to an audition for The Manila Times. Yes I do my fun pieces and my rants here and elsewhere but I have not had this mindset in writing since working at the high school newspaper. Those numbers are real from the PSE website and that quote is real. Who knows I may have a few more in me? Speaking of karmic justice, I hope to be a recipient in this life after doing a lot of this in a previous life.

PSE's Bouncing Trend Continues Into July
As of midday July 3 2014, the PSE's performance seems to be still taking
its cue from June. The Philippine Stock
Exchange index (PSEi) closed up 43.70 points, or .64 percent higher at 6,894.30, while the
wider all shares added 24.57 points, or 0.60 percent to finish Wednesday’s morning session at 4,129.06.
Ali Yu, President of brokerage R.S. Lim and Company said
that the trend of bouncing between 6500 and 6900 has been going on for a while.
Traders have been treating 6900 as a sign to get out. However if the market
breaks through 6500 with volume "all bets are off". Yu added that
that the political mood can affect trading in the coming weeks. He specifically
mentioned karmic law seems to be working its way to our local scene. What was
being done to the former president seems to be finding its way to the current
president.
