A Walk in the Park with Cypark Resources Berhad (5184)

Lately, I have been searching for a company which has good profit margins, a business model which is non-conventional (i.e., not manufacturing, banking, plantation, and trading in nature), and resilient to external market shocks. I hope I have found the right company! This week I will be looking at Cypark Resources Berhad (5184). Cypark is a company that is involved with the provision of environmental solutions. It has 4 main business segments which are: 1. Environmental engineering: Provision of nature conservation and environmental improvement services. 2. Landscaping and infrastructure: Provision of landscape services, project management services, and infrastructure development. 3. Maintenance: Provision of specialist maintenance works on leachate treatment plants, landscape services for parks, and maintenance of public amenities. 4.

Technical Analysis Review: HeveaBoard (5095) 25/10/2017

This counter had recently rallied and closed at a high of RM1.75 on October 23, 2017. What followed in the subsequent days were 2 straight days of profit taking. This was evident by the 2 significant black bodied candles which closed lower until October 25, 2017.
Refer Picture 1 below on the technical chart of HeveaBoard.

Picture 1:HeveaBoard Chart 25/10/2017

For any investor, testing a high 3 times at RM1.75 in 3 months would be an important indicator of a potential change in trend.

Currently, HeveaBoard is trading at an important price "zone" - immediate medium term support level of RM 1.62.

Knowledge sharing
For all support/resistance levels, there is a +/- variance of approximately 1% from the support line indicated. Hence, support at RM 1.62, can be interpreted as support at RM1.61 or RM 1.63.

Can the support zone hold?
Probably, because prices retraced about 50% from its previous rally. Note that the previous rally began in the highlighted RED rectangle - September 2017 - in Picture 1 above. Also note that the current retracement to RM 1.64 is a 50% retracement from its previous rally; in Fibonacci terms, it has retraced to a healthy level for prices to continue on its uptrend.

In my opinion, the consolidation zone in the highlighted RED rectangle in September 2017, was a healthy consolidation zone which led to a breakout on October 11, 2017.

Key Support Levels:
S1: 1.62
S2: 1.59
S3: 1.55

Key Resistance Level:
RM 1.75

USD vs MYR
Since my last review of Hevea, the USD has appreciated against the MYR from 4.2050 (12 September 2017) to 4.2352 (25 October 2017). This does not immediately improve the results of Hevea's Q3 2017 results, but this is a sentiment booster for exporters like Hevea.

Picture 2: USD vs MYR (25/10/2017)


So what's up for us?
I will be monitoring this stock for some time. However, the zone in which Hevea is trading at deeply intrigues me. If the support level holds, no issue. But if prices break below support, I will probably look to add my position.

Key Risks
For me, it would definitely be market sentiment. Despite price action showing some promise, if overall market sentiment is bearish, Hevea's prices may be pressured lower. Check out my analysis of FBMKLCI's bearish sentiment lately HERE.

Final Thoughts
For those who are wondering when is Hevea's next quarterly announcement for Q3 2017, it will be at the end of November.

I strongly encourage those who want to know more about the FUNDAMENTALS of HeveaBoard to check out my analysis HERE.

Trading Ideas: Sasbadi Holdings Berhad (5252)

Sasbadi is one of the companies that I came across numerous times back when I was a student. I was a loyal supporter of Sasbadi reference books as I found their books well organized, contained relevant information, and had a good range of exercise questions. If you were born after the 80’s I am sure you would have heard of Sasbadi. In fact, my decent examination results were partially due to purchasing their good quality reference books.  Today I’d like to take a look at Sasbadi Holdings and see whether it has any investment merit. Below is a chart of Sasbadi’s share price: Chart 1: Sasbadi Historical Share Price Based on the chart above, prices have retraced near to its initial IPO price of about 45 cents. Despite appreciating to a high of RM1.06, prices started to turned south in 2017.  Chart 2: A detailed look at Sasbadi's share price  Noticed the long-term bearish Head-And-Shoulders formation which formed in November 2016 to August 2017.

Technical Review of Econpile Holdings Bhd (5253, 16/6/2018)

The markets have not been exciting lately, but I have an interesting stock to share. For investors who are looking for a stock to trade, I recommend Econpile Holdings Bhd (5253).  Its share price seems to be oversold and is  ready for a bullish rebound .    Based on its technical price chart, its share price started to dip at the beginning of 2018. The 30-day exponential moving average (EMA) has been its overhead resistance since early February 2018 until now. In this article, I will explore the likelihood of it breaking above its 30-day EMA overhead resistance. The 30-day exponential moving average overhead resistance could mean that this stock is in a downtrend as well.  Pakatan Harapan, Malaysia's newly elected political party's victory in the General Elections in May 2018 had an adverse effect on its share price. Upon the opening bell of the Malaysian market on May 14, 2018, its share price gaped down 8 cents, and closed at RM .788, a decline of 22.7 cents
