A visit to the Philippine Stock Exchange
March 28, 2008
Our “Investment Management” class in UP Diliman went to the Tektite Tower last week just before the Holy Week holiday to have a tour of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).
It surely was exciting to actually visit one of the country’s stock trading floors but, at the same time, disappointing because we did not see a lot of “action.”
Remember pictures or movie scenes of stock traders where they shout and haggle their orders passionately on the floor? Well, there was nothing like that during our tour. In fact, at one point, we saw a few people taking a nap on their desks and also a group of traders chit-chatting — all during trading hours!
