Comments: KLSE, MTD Infra, Tebrau

1) KLSE is still flat. Still needs to break above 940 to turn positive but any external weak factors will lead to a fall. Support is 931 & 926. I believe upside is limited & trend will be to the downside. No budget rally this year? Maybe if it falls to 926 then there will be one.

2) MTD Infra - is still holding above its support level of 1.00. Daily RSI & MACD are turning up. There is also a 2-year old trendline (A-B) which is holding up prices at this level. Technically it is still providing support & coupled with low volume this may be the low for MTDI. Reader Doraidd is sceptical of this stock & feels that stock holders like EPF may be selling on strength, but we can only base our judgement on TA not what holders may be doing. Doraidd has some valid points but I hold my view that technically there is support. Also fundamentally MTDI is not a rotten stock like Iris, because it has a fundamentally valid business and does have intrinsic value. That means it will have a support level & that may be just about right here at 1.00. However, like all speculative stocks you trade at your own risk but with tight cutloss levels I believe this stock is worth the risk with cutloss below 1.00.


3) Tebrau- In a slow downtrend. Formed a spinning top today below the first support line of 0.55, not very good. Strong support is at 0.50. If it breaks 0.50 then traders have to sell as it will weaken the chart considerably. It is still touch & go at the moment because it is forming a clear descending triangle & other indicators are all negative. The only consolation is the low volume, so maybe, just maybe it may bounce back. 0.50 is the key. See previous charts, not much change.

hi doc,

pls dont get me wrong, i believe in TA as much as you do, though my skills (lack of, actually...) are just pedestrian compared to yours.

what i'm advocating is if one wants to make money trading buses with these drivers, one must make use of ALL tools available (and TA is just but one of them) as weapons in your arsenal.

For these stocks, TA must be read in conjunction with some other trading skills that one must possess.

Traders that trade these stocks that i know have even trained their bowels and bladders to refrain between the hours of 9-12.30 and 2.30-5. Blinking is also not allowed in order to trade these stocks successfully.

How many do you know that are so disciplined?

'cos taking money from these drivers is akin to robbing beggars, in a market full of beggars, and we all know how difficult that is.

I'm just giving a been-there-done-that perspective in terms of chart engineering.

Just TA in not enough.

btw really excellent work on the plantation stocks.

Hi Doraiddd,

When I saw that there was a comment I thought it might be you. Point taken, yes one should use as many tools as they can handle but there are some very strict TA advocates who only advocate using TA & nothing else bec they believe only the market truly reflects stock sentiment...they probably haven't been to Msia...hahahaha.

Tks for kudos on plantation stocks, thats one of the TA + fundamentals that points to your method of investing.

Cheers

Doc
