"Leadership is not a position — it is action. Leadership is character. We want leaders who are credible. We must be able to believe in them. This is sometimes referred to as the first law of leadership: if you don’t believe in the messenger, you won’t believe the message." - Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala (Chairman & CEO, Ayala Corporation) Very few stocks usually make it to almost every firm's list of top picks but Ayala Corporation ($AC) has been a timeless recommendation familiar to investors & traders - local, retail, institutional and foreign alike.
