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 or 22% of its share price. Prices subsequently trended to a low of RM .557, before rebounding to RM .74 on June 14, 2018. 

Chart 1: Price Chart of Econpile Holdings Bhd

Oversold Prices?
Its share price, Relative Strength Index (RSI) and moving average convergence divergence (MACD), all points to oversold prices. The strong bull bar on June 14, 2018, pulled the stock out of the oversold zone on the RSI quickly. Market participants were net buyers from 4 - 13 June, and some profit taking happened on June 14, which was expected after a notable run from RM .56 to RM .73. 

Bullish momentum to continue or consolidation ahead?
There is a high chance that the bullish momentum will continue. Insiders have accumulated the stock in early June 2018 and evidence of selling pressure has not been evident yet. Its immediate resistance of RM .75 seems to be a psychological level that this stock has to break through. 

There is a possibility that its share price may consolidate below RM .75. Support at RM .63 is the level that investors should look at. If prices move below RM .63, I would think that prices will continue to trend lower. 

Below are the key support and resistance levels which I have indicated for reference:

Key Support and Resistance Levels
Support: S1 RM .70
              S2 RM .63
              S3 RM .54

Resistance: R1 RM.75
                  R2 RM.80
                  R3 RM.94

Heveaboard Bhd (5095) Update (11 May 2018)

This week I will be reviewing Heveaboard. This is a follow-up review to my previous Heveaboard posts.  As you are aware, many stocks on Bursa Malaysia were beaten down to its lows recently. Now, after a historic win in the 14th Malaysian General Elections by Pakatan Harapan (Alliance of Hope), will the stock market bounce back?  The General Election held on May 9,2018, was by and large peaceful and went on without a hitch.  Malaysians are hoping for a clean, fair, and just government. This positive perception will be echoed in the stock market and will bring back market confidence. We now turn our focus to the annual report of Hevea  that was recently published on April 30, 2018. I thought it would be a good time to perform a follow-up review of this stock.  Technically, it is showing signs that its share price has bottomed out and has formed a base. The share price has retraced from a high of RM1.72 in October 2017 to RM0.88 in May 8, 2018, a retracement of about 50% !!  See Char

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 2

Apollo Food Holdings Bhd (6432)

Is investing in Apollo Food Holdings Berhad (6432) a secure and risk-free investment? If you are not sure what Apollo Food Holdings does, you would at least have come across its products in your childhood. Do these snacks below ring a bell? Who would have thought that this company is listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange? Based on the BCG growth share matrix, Apollo Food is categorized as a “cash cow.” Milking cash from its day-to-day operations. There has not been much excitement in its share price; it has been in a trading range of RM4.50 – RM6.00 for over 2 years. This stock will ultimately disappoint investors who are seeking growth companies with quick capital appreciation. However, those who are seeking a safe haven for their capital, or intend to protect their capital may consider this stock in their portfolio. To invest in Apollo, an investor ought to look at a longer time horizon. Hence, I will be looking at a time frame of 5 years. Chart 1: Key Financial and Investment Stat

Technical Analysis Review: Hiap Teck Venture Bhd (5072) - 12/11/2017

I recently found out about this company -- Hiap Teck Venture Bhd (5072) -- through a friend of mine, and I thought I should take a look at it. I have not performed my fundamental analysis on this company yet, but I wanted to write about my observations on the price action of this company.  Based on a surface level review of its financials, I noted that its joint venture company -- Eastern Steel Sdn Bhd -- recorded an impairment loss on its property, plant and equipment of about RM 266 million in its latest Q4 2017 financial result that was announced on September 28, 2017. As Hiap Teck's interest in the joint venture company was 55%, its share of losses from Eastern Steel was roughly RM 155 million. See Picture 1 below on the summary of its quarterly results: Picture 1: Summary Hiap Teck's Quarterly Results (Source: i3investor) Technical Analysis Review of its Share Price Picture 2: Price Chart of Hiap Teck Based on my observations of the price chart
