  1. Hi Ms Fehl,
    Thank you for sharing this details. This is a big help for me since I’m only a beginner.
    I would like to ask if the BBP and TP of the listed blue chips stocks above are still applicable up to now? Especially the AP, SMPH, ALI, BDO, JFC as I’m planning to buy stocks from them for my long term plan.

    Thank you in advance 🙂

    • It’s impossible to tell if the market will still dip even further. But the lock-down still continues here in the Philippines and some countries. We better buy on batches – like this week and the next following weeks than missing the opportunity. Either way, good named stocks for long term can reward you soon if you did not miss buying on the dip 🙂

        • Hi Cor 🙂 Markets crashed globally due to the corona virus. What you see on your account are un-realized losses, meaning you will lose only if you sell or close them. If you are investing high quality stocks for long term, do not sell on panic. Markets will eventually recover and so will excellent companies. Always remember, don’t trade with your emotion. Stick to your strategy and evaluate your risk tolerance. Cheers!

    Good morning!

    Is it still worth it to keep them? Do you think they can recover soon from the issue on water concession agreements?

    Sell them at a loss, or hold and wait?

  12. Hi.

    I would like to confirm that Blue Chip Chart is still updated? I just opened my account with COL but hesitant to buy anything since I wanted to buy JFC stocks but the current price both buying and selling is way above the BBP and and TP recommendations.

    Thanks!

  13. Hello! I’d like to ask your opinion about “sell in May and go away”. Im planning to open an account in COL Financial and would probably buy stocks mid April to early May. Would you advice to not buy stocks yet? Ive read some posts saying theyre currently still at a loss becausw of buyig stocks during May.

      • Hi Mam Fehl, would SMPH be a sound investment for cost averaging, or should i wait for it to go lower. thanks for your time mam fehl.

        Reply
        • With Peso Cost averaging, you buy each month and let it average out on its own. If the price goes down, you can get more shares, if the price goes up, then your portfolio value goes up. Either way, in the long term you win.

  14. Hi to all. need opinion: am i to sell my EW? it has grown +72.56% from 3 years ago. this year, it is not listed in ‘blue chips’. TP is 36, market price now is 30.10. should i continue to keep it?

    Reply
        • Actually I forgot to sell by EW… then stocks were down last 2 weeks ago… EW almost negative. but to my surprise, EW just went up right now and I received a “Notice of Stock Divident”… surprised EW gave dividend to 50% of my stocks. and now just today… +52.92% na ulit sya with my +50% stock dividend. wow.

  16. Hi Ms Fehl,

    I have idea na when it comes to investing in the stock market since I joined Truly Rich Club last 2015 (and stopped my subscription after 6mos.) I already gained and lost in the stock market. The thing is recently I wasn’t able to monitor my portfolio and lost my stocks in PLDT (bought it for P2,136 and now it’s only P1,480.00) More than 30% loss wheww. Same thing with Double Dragon and MAX’s with 29% and 18% losses. I prefer to be a long term investor, but I just can’t apply peso cost averaging now, because my gut feel says no. But I can’t sell them either… Any advise and strategy would be greatly appreciated. And I now vow to monitor my portfolio everyday. Thank God I found your site.

  24. Hi Ms. Fehl, i read your blog.. but still not into trading. But i might soon. thinking to join the COL, but i just want to know lang po.. how much they charge you per trade? Meron po bang minimum or maximum shares when you buy a certain stocks? And lastly po, if I join, do i have a free will na pumili ng stocks na gusto kung bilhin? Salamat ng marami.

    Reply
    • Currently COL charges ‘around’ 0.3% of the transaction when buying stocks. As for selling, it’s ‘around’ 0.8%. But take note that minimum commission is P20 (that’s why I put around in quotations). So far my highest transaction fee is P33 for over P11k trade. Unless you trade a lot and big, then charges will pile up.

      COL will automatically calculate the gain/loss when you sell your stocks with buying and selling fees already being considered.

  26. Hi Fehl 🙂 Newbie here 🙂 I want blue chip stocks only for both flipping and long term. I bought MPI and ALI which are both in the list of undervalued stocks. When the time comes that the stocks hit its TP, would it be fine to sell 50% of my stocks for flipping then continue to hold the other 50% for long term? Then continously buy every month? What do you think? Thanks 🙂

    I am thinking if I could do multiple times to buy and sell stocks in a day for how much is the minimum amount allowable from the best broker in the nation with their fast, accurate and reliable platforms? Because I cannot find any day trading rules and regulation online just their brand name.

    • Start opening an account, Elizardo. You need a trading platform to buy a stock. If you have a BDO account, you may open Nomura. You can also search BPI & Metrobank’s platform.

      Before buying those stocks, you need to consider the timing. I suggest to allocate your money to MPI, instead of BDO & JFC. Wait for the downfall of those blue-chips.

  34. Hi Miss Fehl,

    Since BPI is facing now some serious problem due to system glitch in some of their costumer’s bank account does that mean that it will affect its price in stock market? right now it is up by 1.23%.

    Thank you

    Reply
    • I think it won’t affect a significant decline. BPI is still an established bank with smart management. Every company meets unexpected challenge once in a while. The system glitch will be a lesson learned. I’m sure BPI is into executing bigger solutions to avoid another one from happening again.

  37. I’m not sure if the BBP and TP for JFC is updated? It has already been 3 years since they hit 173. Also, 208 as TP is a bit too low given that the price range per stock recently has been playing around 200-250. Waiting for it to go down to 173 with only 208 as TP might not be reasonable anymore. What do you think?

          • Hi Ms Fehl! I’m just a newbie in stocks. I bought 30 shares of BDO today for P118.9. It was executed at that price. I am just confused as to why my average price is 119.6647 when I bought it in one order (day order). This is the first time I invested in BDO. Please take time to answer my question. More power to your blog. It helps a lot of people like me.

          • you add the commission and all other fees to the total purchase price then divide the amount by the number of shares that you bought… in your case : ( 30*118.9+total fees)/30… that’s your average price

  41. Hi po, mam/sir ask ko lang po pano po ba mag invest? Kahit po 3k monthly baka sakaling dito ako umunlad kahit papano. Pano po ba ang start dito at ano ano po ang mga kailangan docs at requirement?

    • Hi, blue chip stocks are suitable for PCA method. You invest no matter what the price is (above or below BBP). The BBP is just a guide to show you, you will generate more income if you buy below that point. In the list of stocks above, they are blue chip companies and we recommend investing them for long term following PCA method

  46. Hi Fehl, I’m curious as to why Meralco isn’t included in the Blue Chip list? I may have missed it in previous posts since I’m just starting out. I was keen on adding it to my humble porfolio (right now I only have 3 – oil company, power company and real estate). Also I recently participated as a small investor in Shell’s IPO (my first stocks!) but I’ve also been eyeballing Petron because the price is pretty good. Would greatly appreciate your inputs on Petron and Meralco. My goal is long term/ passive investor for now. Thanks 🙂

    Reply
    • Hi Jane. As I mentioned, we have filtered carefully the best we can recommend from the top 30 companies. MER is still a good company but I believe due its seasonal movement, it can’t be on our priority from these blue chip list. MER is one of the most rewarding in terms of dividends though.

  49. Hi Guys, Ms Fhel,

    I’ve read about the BDO Rights Offering (Issue) is this a good or a bad news? we can make advantage of this because the market value will surely go down but it also means that BDO is struggling or it’s just another tactics or something?

    Reply
    • The rights offering doesn’t mean BDO is struggling. I think it would benefit BDO and its vision to continually be the number 1 bank in the country. The rights offering is to raise equity and proceeds to expand strong loan growth to clients, thus more income. We must expect share price will go down a little to adjust after the rights offering.

    • Only invest 20% of you money because stocks are very risky so make sure you only spend money you are comfortable to lose.

      Get to know your risk appetite – are you conservative or aggressive or in between

      Invest your time – if you have a long term plan, follow it and use PCA approach in investing blue chip stocks

      If you like short term, go for money market funds (from Mutual Funds or UITF)

      Reply
      • Hi Ms. Fehl! Salamat sa dailypik. My concern lang po ako. if 20% po ilalagay natin sa stocks. Ano po pwede nyong maisuggest na panglagyan dun sa remaining 80%.

        • 20% means, 20% ng income mo should go to stock market. The rest of the 80% of course sa daily/monthly expenses mo di ba? Like bills, rent( if you are renting), food, clothing, etc.

  51. Hello Ms. Fehl. Newbie lang po ako sa stock market. nagstart ako nung Aug. 18. Ito po ung mga company na binili CEB, MEG, MBT at MPI (5k each). Ok po ba ung mga nabili ko for long term investment? (5 to 10years). Thank you in advance. God bless.

    • i guess not MEG atm. they have a project here in Cebu, billions, the Mactan Newtown [http://themactannewtown.com.ph/] , that is not selling (or pre-selling) even 10% of finished product. the project will be a sitting duck until the new Mactan-Cebu airport finishes in 2018 (well i hope so). point is, i do not like their “approach” on development outside metro Manila. so, not MEG for the moment.

  52. Hi Ms. Fehl,

    Is it still good to buy PLDT now at around 1800? Are there any latest news/developments affecting telecommunication? why is the price dropping?

  53. Hi Ms. Fehl,

    Thank you for the informative piece. Newbie here, just want to check if its reasonable to buy CEMEX (CHP). I heard that infrastructure will be booming. Your thoughts please?
    Otherwise any suggestions on what to buy? Thanks a lot!

  54. Hi Fehl,
    Your site has been really helpful however I found out about it after I made my stock purchases including TEL. I bought it at almost TP so now I am -30.14% below. And it keeps getting lower. Should I let it go or should I wait on it? Thank you and more blessings to you!

    Good day!

    Hi ma’am Fehl, I just started joined the Stock Market ask ko lang anong magandang pang Long Term na Investment, I have now ALI, SMPH, BDO or this 3 companies are Long Term,
    and CEB do you have idea what is the BBP (buy below price) and the TP (target price) to sell.

    And also ma’am Fehl, I plan to buy JFC it is ok, and what is the BBP (buy below price) and the TP (target price) to sell.

    Thanks ahead

    • The list of stocks above are good to invest for long term using PCA method. If you want to flip CEB, you must follow our flipping strategy. CEB is listed among our Magic 10 stocks as of now. Check out Magic 10 stocks page at the menu to learn more about its BBP and TP. Cheers!

    • If you’re only flipping TEL, you must follow the BBP, so I don’t recommend it now. But if you’re into long term and PCA method, it’s good to follow your periodic investment

I just have my bpi trade approved last friday and i am about to fund it on wednesday, can you suggest how much initial deposit should i make to fund my account and any suggestions on stocks that i can buy.
    my plan is 1 or 2 stock for PCA and 2-3 stocks for flipping.

    Reply
    • It’s because blue chip stocks are not always undervalued so we only recommend some for flipping at the right time. Nevertheless, you can invest with them anytime for long term following PCA

  70. If you are talking about AGI International USA based financial insurance company, I would not, if it is not in an Index fund, meaning like fortune 500 S&P bla bla

    AGI is a hot fast moving company and has many subsidies, so if this is on of less than 20 different stocks you own, stay way they are super crazy and volatile and almost went broke in 2008 but USA bailed them out

    As Part of a portfolio, maybe but you need 20 or more to protect your ups and down, if it is less than 20, stay away but it is up to miss Fehl

    I almost 2 years investing now in stockmarket , and im doing peso cost averaging just lately i just want to figure out how to compute my average price if i will add on my particular stock, let say example i buy URC at 175 pesos and im going to add now 20k pesos the current price now is around 199 pesos, what would be my average if i add 20k pesos, how i can compute my average price? Looking forward for your replay, GOD BLESS YOU!

    • Sum up your total buy amount including charges then divide it by your total number of shares. That would be your average price. You should have history of your stock purchases so that your total buy amount is accurate.

    • In my experience, I didn’t choose any stock right away because I chose to have many stocks in one fund and that is through Equity Fund. Then after learning how equities work, I started to invest with BDO because it is the number 1 bank here and it pays dividends 4 times a year. Then I added some more stocks like URC, ALI and some from the Magic 10 stocks. You can also read our Stocks Guide here to learn more. You’ll be amazed about the potentials of investing 🙂

  76. Good day Ms. Fehl. I just want to ask your advice on buying JFC stock. I bought it for 187 last year. It went up to 220 and today its market price is 215. Should I buy now? What is the target buying price? I’m a long-term investor.

    Reply
    • I am not Miss Fehl, and my opinions do not necessarily reflect her information, knowledge, or her employers, and I am solely responsible for this information…Having said that, Miss Fehl, will of course, read what I say here and agree, or disagree, or even agree, and add more to it, so please read and listen to her not me, and follow her advice, since I know nothing about stocks…

      SHORT ANSWER:

      First of all, all stocks go up and down, it is just a matter of which floor you want to get off on, which button you pushed, and did you get off on the wrong floor…I was at the Pearl Manila Hotel many times for many weeks, and I will be damn, even with an elevator attendant, ( YOUR FUND MANAGER) asked you what floor you wanted to go to and she or he pushed the 9th floor, for the main desk…But so many people were getting on and off, when the doors opened you saw your floor and began to get off on the 12th…The attendant Miss Fehl, said, Sir, this is the 12th floor, not the 9th…You get back on the elevator and continue…No matter what anyone says, even yourself, you will forget and get off on the wrong floor, and if the elevator is already going up and you want to go down, you can ride the elevator, up and then down, down, or take the stairs, it is up to you…As I said, stocks always go up

      ANSWER #2: i WOULD HAVE SOLD AT 220, then bought back, at 215, flipping…Now, yes, as soon as you flip the price will go down to 98 a share, but you flipped, it at 220, bought back at 215, so going down, from 215 is much more fun, than from 220, and you made a flip, from 187 to 220…FOLLOW ME? If not ask miss Fehl, to tell you in Tagalog because this reality

      You had the balut, to flip…You flipped above 187, at 220, and hopefully, above your fees and costs, and bought lower than you sold….So, yes, no matter what you do, when you flip, it will be too soon, or too late…This is not about the Three Bears, where Papa sold too soon mamma sold too late and baby Bear sold just righttttttttttt…It is about you learning how to flip and filliping better

      LONG ANSWER 3#

      If you bought, shares in Bong Bong’s auto repair, and he is still in business, and you paid, 187 php, per share, around 10 to 14 months ago, and it went up to 220 and is NOW at 215, I can tell you, it went down some-more since, you posted…RED days January 4th to 6th 2016 and BDO refused to allow us access to the graphs and daily values, because they knew, there was going to be a rise, then red days….I cannot get results since December 30th, and no it is not the holiday..Trading is done, 24/7 and they have a judiciary obligation to allow me to know the result, when the banks are open, so I could buy or sell…They failed

      Nothing is going to go up and stay up, meaning, staying up, high…As Miss Fehl, said, we will see the same, with the gradual growth we saw in 2015, meaning, up 12% down 10% up 45 %, down 30 %…You will need to watch the trends and flip, if you wish to make money, short term…You will ALSO need to try and follow the trend of that stock, from 2 or 3 years ago, and keep in mind, we have 3 to 5 more rate hikes from USA Federal Reserve…If you are thinking, what does American interests rate hikes have to do with me? In the Philippines? The sort answer is: Everything, it is the world currency..

      If you check BDO, they only trade in Php and USD, simple as that, so do the other banks…Also, BPI CITI corp, Citic bank, Union bank, Bof A, and so on, just Google them, and many other banks are all based in America, as well, with many branches…Your UTIF’s, if you dabble in them, are mostly based on the fluctuation of the NYSE global mining, not just pinoy, gold, silver, futures, commodities and so on…Even terrorism and plane crashes

      Yes, but it is too late…..You need to wait until they go back up to 220, I should make you wait, until 250, then flip them hold the money until it goes down low, low, which it will in February…But when you need to check the trends from 3 to 5 years go to see when….

      Questions ask miss Fehl or me, or better yet both

      Reply
      • LOL the elevator attendant was funny. Raine, my answer would depend on why you buy JFC in the first place. What is your plan and strategy for it? Are you flipping it or are you investing it for long term using PCA? If I knew then, I can give you my answers 🙂 Cheers!

        Reply
        • Miss Fehl, GREAT question, as always, I missed it, but @Raine, how many shares did you buy? All at same price? The dates are the same? Is this actually, 12 month holding? Meaning, how long have you had them? But I do sense a new flipper here, so caution, do not flip now, buy yes…We are all upside down now, or in the red

        • @john….You will learn how to flip, first thing, because it is THE THING, we have to do too rise up fast…It is NOT the same thing as flipping houses or cars, but it is close…You buy a car or house, with potential, (same as stock) then fix them up, like paint on a house, some tile work, or a car new brakes tires, clean and waxing, then sell them for a profit…With stocks, you replace your materials used on the house and cars, with time in the market, and no labor invested, except you will rise up and down, more down than ups, and you scream…Having said that John, it will inch up, no matter what, or if you bought in at the right time, it might jump up…In ether case, before you sell, make sure the selling price will cover any fees, the average interest rate of a saving account, which is around 2% to 3%, and brokers fees at front and back end…Now, if you forgot about the fees, or if you bought, when low but that low was not the new floor, do we care? Yes, we care, but whatever you lost, is less than a semester in college at the King Kano school of finance…And, trust me, you will do better the next time…Oh remember, when you figure your NET profit, net meaning, everything deducted, before you flip, you need to double your fees spent, because you need to buy the same stock back, or a new dead stock, with a good future….Do your homework, before you make the first purchase, follow trends, which means, the fluctuation of the stocks you like, and graph them, because history does repeat itself it just does, so watch and you will do fine…Good luch

    Reply
    • I am not speaking for Miss Fehl, or her employer, and I am certainly not an expert, but, start with these three stocks, and learn how to flip them…But, think of long term investing, in stocks, as baking a cake…You can bake a cake, with self rising dough, or using baking soda, but if you want it to really rise, you need baking powder and yeast…Read directions carefully…Now, without me blabbing on, tell me what I am saying? Start off, with self rising breads, like a zucchini bread, but once you get good at it, go for the yeast, meaning, 3 is not enough for long term growth and what is called, diversification…Spice up your bread with UITF’s, somewhere, or bonds, MMF, whatever…Baking, is not like cooking..Cooking, you can toss in mushrooms, or butter, if you like or like me white wine, but Baking, is a chemistry, of balancing acidic ingredients (stocks) with alkaline ingredient, (bonds or other sources, even savings) to get it to rise (GROWTH) You need what is called, a cash reserve, to be able to buy when low, even when your chosen stocks are on the ups, or downs, and to prevent you from touching your nest egg, in an emergancy…No matter how good or bad your choice is, stocks are all forms of equities which means yahoo, hold on I’m going to puke, from riding the market, roller-coaster…However, the cake, needs many ingredients…I would, when funds allow, chose 3 to 6 more stocks, on her hot list, flip them when they do good, buy more when they do bad, and dump them, when they suck for long time, which is not likely…FLIP HIGH, NOT PERFECTLY HIGH, JUST HIGH, THEN WAIT UNTIL THEY TANK AND BUY LOW…Miss Fehl, what do you think, you are the ate financier here LOL…I think he, or she, is on the right track, but needs to buy more, soon

  82. Hi miss fehl,
    Nabili ko po kasi yung tel stocks ko last nov ng 1977 per share,ngayon po umakyat na yung price nito ng 2100. Dapat ko na po bang ibenta ito ngayon para maka secure ng profit since pabagsak ang trend ng stocks tuwing december?

    Reply
    • THIS IS MY OPINION AND NOT THAT OF MISS FEHL OR HER EMPLOYERS…I understand what you mean by, securing a profit, but have you taken into account, the fees you MAY have paid, buying the stocks and the fees you could or WILL pay, upon selling them? (also VAT of at least 12% on the so called profit) This could whittle away at your small profit here..You are correct, December will have dips, but all 12 months do, usually, but so will 2016, off and on, thanks to the political climate, stock manipulations, and the stupid USA FED reserve, but if you can promise yourself, (AND MISS FEHL, I AM SURE) the profit will withstand your purchase price and fees, and the selling fees, I would say JUST FOR FUN SELL, NOT FOR FINANCIAL GAIN, BUT FOR FUN, YES, SELL, BUT….It is the holiday season and everyone will need and want things, including you, so this is why December has dips before the holidays then goes back up…iF YOU DO NOT HAVE SELF DISCIPLINE, I would NOT SELL and ride the roller-coaster, up and down, with a barf bag in hand, until March and flip them, then…If you wish to practice flipping, sure, sell it, if you know the actually NET gain, is above what you paid for it, and……and this is a big and….. you hope the market dips down low enough, and it should, so you can buy your own shares back, and ride up, again…I went over this, many times to make sure my English, is that of the King’s English, so read it carefully and Miss Fehl, her question was mostly in Tagalog, so if you agree with me maybe translate it into Tagalog I not want her to make a mistake

  84. @Miss Fehl Good to see you back, I super missed you and so did everyone here..Yes, dividends are nice…It is like being paid to hold on to your stocks and not flip them, which is the reason for dividends…In the old days, few people flipped..It became known as, “Brown Bagging, or left holding the bag…” You kept your stocks for years, even decades, but, it was good for a slower, more stable market…What sellers of stocks did was, they divided up profits, yes, dividend, or divided, and paid you to not sell, frankly, because if you sold, before the quarter, NOPE, you did not get you share, of the divided, or dividend profits…Now, people flip like crazy, then they will buy back their own stocks, or bonds, or UITF’s, once they hear and see the damage they caused and the smoke cleared…Let’s say FORD was selling for 1500 php a share, but one day, bang, it goes down to 900 php a share..Well, there was no layoffs, no fire, no nothing, so what was it? Either a paper tantrum from something in the news, or a sell off, or both…But you know what? Those morons, will buy back their own shares, at now, below market price, and watch it go up and up, again…Also, in the old days, people loved for the stock to split, or be cut, let’s say in half, so now if you own 12 shares at 500 php of FORD stocks, you now own, 24 shares, are 250 Php..HUH? Got screwed? Maybe, if you sell off too soon, because that stock will go up to 500 php a share, again, in maybe 4 years and now you have 24 shares, at any price..So, in the good old days, buying and selling stocks was fun and you kept it, until you got your bonus check each quarter, called a dividend, and waited for your shares to split, but now, it is every man or woman for his or herself, flipping stocks

      • Glad you are feeling better, because this is not fun for me, if I worry about you…I did stop checking the reply links from this blog, after the comment, I got, I felt no one was listening and they have you, which is why they are here and you are more than enough…I will e-mail you more, later, but always remember, Miss Fehl….Everyone here likes you and they need you, even I need you..You know stocks, I don’t and frankly, not care LOL, I love UITF’s, and that is it, and that is because of human default…I know it, therefore I love it, I not like stocks, so I not pursue it, but you know a lot about all of it, and that is what the Philippines needs…NOW TO EVERYONE…Investing, investment, saving, going to college, goes against 150 years of tradition…We all lost our roots…Not just the Filipino…We all forgot how to can foods, naturally, or jar preserves, salt meat, bury food in the snow, now we use freezers, we forgot to educate our children and now we just push them into the streets to work and wonder why we are poor, generation after generation…Many people here are smiling at me now, thinking this kano is nuts and that part is true…All that I said was planning for the future…I tell my wife and she gets so mad, sometimes tampo for a while, because I tell her; “I do not need to teach you how to be a woman, a wife, a mother, you know all of that, already, this is why good men, seek good wives here, but one thing you are not taught is how to plan for the future, and it is NOT my job to teach you how to be wife but how to be a widow…” I even told my banker, at BDO, this, and she agreed, and told Ruth, I was right…Now, as bad as that sounds, what is the point, of going to work? Earn money you think? Successful people…I said, successful people, not day to dayers, go to work for the future income, the next job, to build a resume, get that promotion, or raise in salary, not for today..Do you think, Miss Fehl, does this for big bucks? Wrong…It is for her future…In America we not plan for the top raman for today, we plan for the 50 kilo bag of rice, and brown rice, not white, for next month…Even if it is your favorite auntie, stop listening to them…Respect them, love them, and learn from them, but you need to plan for tomorrow, because they will not be around, tomorrow, but you will be, and this thinking goes against your culture…I am so glad to see so many Filipinas here, chatting with Miss Fehl, and so smart, because I love the Filipina, and yes, I did say smart, because I know for a fact, 80% of the time, you girls already know the answer, you just want that hi, hello, yes, hug and kiss, from Miss Fehl, to give you the confidence you need…WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? This is a blog, Google the word blog, so ask her questions no matter how stupid you feel, even if you know the answer, or do what I do…”Hey, Miss Fehl, I think I know the answer, but I wish to run this past you first before I jump into it…” Now, everyone knows, you know the answer, and now, maybe Miss Fehl, can go farther on the subject, and not just say, yes, no wait….Miss Fehl, they might not admit it enough, but they all need you here, glad you are back…Blogging is the best medicine
