Board Lot Warrior › Special Series › Ethical Turnaround Picks › Expansion Update
Habang lumilinaw ang direksyon ng ating portfolio system, napag-alaman nating kailangan natin ng isang dedicated fund para sa mga undervalued, halal, at long-cycle recovery plays.
Dito ipinanganak ang Ethical Turnaround Picks (ETP) — pero ngayong linggo, pinalawak natin ito. Kailangan natin ng mas solid na lineup, mas malinaw na purpose, at mas malaking puwersa.
This post marks the official expansion of ETP and the addition of a crucial stock that strengthens the entire theme.
Why We Expanded the Ethical Turnaround Picks (SCC + PCOR → Now SCC + PCOR + DMC)
Today’s update marks a major step forward for our Ethical Turnaround Picks — a specialized mini-portfolio designed to capture undervalued, high-potential companies that are ethically sound, fundamentally strong, and currently trading at turnaround levels.
Originally composed of SCC and PCOR, the basket now expands to include DMC starting Monday, November 24, 2025, the first trading day of the week.
This decision wasn’t random.
It was strategic, ethical, technically justified, and aligned with the story of the entire Subok ng Puso Series.
1. Why Add DMC Now?
✔ Perfect Ethical Match
DMC operates in real-asset businesses — construction, power, water, mining — with no haram products.
It fits squarely under our ethical lens.
✔ Stable Conglomerate with Turnaround Pricing
DMC is undervalued relative to earnings, NAV, and peer groups.
This creates the kind of deep value + recovery potential that defines an ethical turnaround play.
✔ Strategic Synergy with SCC
DMC is the parent of SCC.
So instead of doubling risk, it smoothens it:
-
SCC = cyclical, volatile
-
DMC = diversified, dividend-driven, steady
This reduces risk AND adds upside.
✔ Market Timing: Monday Entry Makes Sense
The first trading day of the week is:
-
more liquid
-
more predictable
-
aligned with fund flows
-
a clean start for documenting Week 1 performance
Adding DMC on Monday aligns with our weekly execution discipline.
2. The Ethical Turnaround Trio: A More Solid Basket
OLD:
• SCC – Commodity/Energy Turnaround
• PCOR – Refinery/Reopening Turnaround
NEW:
• DMC – Value + Dividend Stability + Parent Strength
DMC creates a triangle of strengths:
-
SCC’s commodity cycle
-
PCOR’s operational recovery
-
DMC’s conglomerate stability
This gives our Ethical Turnaround Picks a more balanced, anti-fragile foundation.
3. Islamic Investing Perspective: Is DMC Halal? Yes.
DMC’s business operations do not involve:
-
riba-based activities
-
gambling
-
alcohol
-
pork
-
prohibited business models
Industries such as construction, water, energy, and mining are allowed,
and from a risk perspective, adding DMC reduces concentration risk, which is aligned with Islamic concepts of:
-
Tadbir Mali (wise stewardship of wealth)
-
Ihtiyat (prudence)
-
Tawakkul after effort
The move is halal, ethical, and structurally sound.
4. How DMC Strengthens the Story of the Series
Each portfolio in the Micro Stock Trader ecosystem has a clear identity:
-
Halal Core Growth → MONDE, URC, WLCON
-
Ethical Turnaround Picks → SCC, PCOR, and now DMC
-
Jimmy Series → tactical and emotional learning
-
SDA Fund → deep averaging long arcs
Adding DMC enhances the identity of Ethical Turnaround Picks by transforming it into a 3-pillar turnaround mini-fund.
This also makes future updates more structured, insightful, and educational for readers.
5. Execution Plan
Tomorrow, November 24, we begin accumulating DMC:
-
We will follow board-lot sizing
-
We maintain ethical and risk awareness
-
We integrate DMC performance into our weekly updates
-
We treat DMC as a stabilizer for the entire turnaround basket
Expect the Day 1 entry to be documented in the next update.
Final Message
With DMC joining SCC and PCOR, the ETP is no longer just a concept — it’s now a full-fledged turnaround portfolio.
Pero habang lumalakas ang ETP, napapansin din natin ang isang malaking overlap sa ating ecosystem: si MONDE.
Before we execute any exit or reallocation, kailangan muna nating talakayin ang malaking tanong:
Saan ba talaga dapat ilugar si MONDE?
Yan ang tatalakayin natin sa susunod na post — The MONDE Dilemma.
