Philippine Long Distance Telephone (ADR) (PHI)

77% dividend growth on 39% payout, 15% insider ownership, ROE > 50%, but its debt is higher that I would normally prefer.

every young person MUST have a cell phone, and the Philippines is

booming with young people. Besides, cell phones are here to stay, land lines are out. More profit in cell phones and related services. With a good hold on the market PHI will blossem...........

Huge expected growth in the Philippines wireless market could drive this one up considerable, couple that with a dividend and you have nice potential for gain over the next 2-5yrs.

Play on expat funds leaving the US and heading toward the Philippines. I was recently in Manila and Hong Kong for business and the overall feel of both places was amazing. Influxes of capital have really changed the outlook of the country. There are corruption concerns but overall the government is more fiscally responsible as they posted a surplus in 2007

Motley income investment

Tecnical analysis is an area of study for me, certainly not an area of expert opinion, but it looks like this could be a double bottom for this stock. Outperform.

Philippipne's will have a huge growth in telecommunications soon.

Its in a bottom state, potential for uptrend very likely.

Strong balance sheet and growth. It has a nice dividend as well.

I've seen this firsthand: telecommunications in the Philippines is HOT. There will always be a demand for communications to and from this country. It will be interesting to see, though, whether competition will affect PHI's performance in the long run. But for now, I'd go for this stock.

PLDT rules 30% of the Philippine stock market...
NTT Docomo a 20% stake in PLDT...

whatever, i just wanted to put a green thumb on something.

I made this pick based of the strong fundamentals of the company. This stock is current rated as one of the best picks out of the 4218 companies analyzed at anticitrade.com. For more information see www.anticitrade.com.

strong market position, great yield

The Philippines, while still struggling with many issues, is on the rise for the future. A huge benefit comes in the blending of cultures, languages and locations: there are remnants of the Spanish colonization in parts of the language and food, the Asian location and influence of the Chinese and almost all Filippinos can speak English as well as Tagolog. This company feeds off the fastest SMS/texting population in the world, and is sure to only succeed (oh, and did I mention they offer a fair dividend?) :)
