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.

Technical Analysis Review: FBMKLCI Review (21/4/2018)

It has been some time since I last blogged about the markets. So far, I have been accurate about the markets. Do check out my previous review of the FBMKLCI .  The index staged a breakout on April 19, 2018, to close on a high of 1,895.18; its highest since July 2014 when it closed around 1,890 points. Note that it has been about 4 years since it last closed above 1,890 points.  What are the probable possibilities? In my opinion, there are three possibilities:  1. The market stages a false breakout and then moves lower to 1,810 points. 2. This is a genuine breakout, prices hold above 1,880 points, and continues moving higher. 3. Prices retrace below 1,880 to around 1,860 or 1,835 points; prices then consolidate for some time.  It should be noted that market momentum was bullish for the past 3 weeks from 8 to April 19  as prices rallied continuously.  Chart 1: FBMKLCI Chart as of April 20, 2018 Bullish momentum to carry on? I cannot deny...
