Just profit taking IMO..

Cool im no whizz on the stock markets just thinking aloud, from realtives and friends of the wife who work in or industries linked to the pse they say its on the up.

But i still wouldn't buy shares (not that i do) in any remittance or part ofw supported industries at the mo as the missus friends today when they met up, have been complaining they are sending less back for the christmas parcel (most send cash now and better value normally)
But at the rate its going they might be cheaper sending the parcels again packed with tescos own bits even with the cost of the parcel!

if its this bad for the christmas big saved up remittance what happens in the new year when cash is always short after the holidays?

I could see quite a few condos and buliding projects being forgoten or eased back on so the mortage and blls in the uk can be met.

steady inflow of funds from FWO, surely some FWO's and like me, if the php to the £ keeps falling will be sending less money to thier familes back in the phils.
