Waiting for the breakout : Wilmar, Final upthrust : GLP, Fraser Comm , Ezion

Perfect ecstasy moment for Ezion ? - time ripe for some profit taking soon ?

Recently, against the general market malaise over the looming fiscal cliff , one superstock Ezion exhibited  super relative strength with a slew of super good announcements - good profits up 24% yoy to usd16.1m , promising  JV with Kim Seng Holdings winning unexpected mega contracts of usd 298m , 10m new shares placed out to existing shareholders ( former Labroy boss) and also Franklin resources,  templeton investment    suggesting insiders' strong confidence in the company's rosy future .. which suggests mega contracts after mega contracts to no end over the horizon , thanks to the special expertise of Ezion..

Analysts from various broking houses( see chart below)  all upgraded Ezion price targets to minimum of $1.70 all the way to $2.20 , far above the current price of  $1.495( Monday's close)  

I am too lazy to plot  a single one of them , but i guess all the technical indicators would be indicating a strong buy ..RSI, ADX, MACD, stochastics ,  moving average cross overs, moving average slope increase , single mom & double pop indicators of all varieties , watever.

Thus we have the perfect esctasy moment for this stock, fundamentally  and technically. 

At this time & price , I guess the public sentiment is so maximally bullish over Ezion that one could not pry the shares from the tight grip of public hands  even when they are taking a 100m banjee jump over the fiscal cliff with crocs hungrily waiting at the river  below to snap off any heads within transient reach ( click here for banjee croc youtube video ) ..

But to me, all these suggests short-term profit taking coming soon , maybe  at 1.54 -1.58  .. so let's watch .. 

Of  course, I could be totally wrong in the face of all these rosy target price upgrades way above the recent pre-Deepavali Monday's closing price of $1.495 ( ie  $1.70- $2.20) from broking houses whom I assumed had special briefings by Ezion management over her super rosy future  ...so who am I  the total outsider to suggest otherwise or rain on their parade  ?

Below is my 19 sept prediction of a temporary peak at 3109, & incidentally of an Obama victory as well though I did not forsee the fiscal cliff coming to screw things up as I thought the tea party would be voted out of the elections leading to auto-resolution of  the fiscal cliff

Back to the local market:

I know it is a little late to say this, but the STi  has broken down since 9 oct   but kept partially afloat by the  impending US elections &  some stocks like capland & GLP but  market leaders like kepcorp & dbs have been plunging for past 2-3 weeks.    

In my last post 2 days ahead of the elections ( see Election week: betting on Obama - click here)  , i mentioned we should get a very short and very small rally into the euphoria of Obama's victory before we see a big reversal  in the Dow.. 

Again, it is a bit late to be more specific , turns out last nite was that big reversal nite ... when market realised that elections has not improved chances of resolving  the looming fiscal cliff problem as all the incumbents has been re-elected into congress house of reps which is still dominated by tea party  .

.. anyway that aside  I also said  selected china stocks ( specific stock names buried in comments section of last post  ) may rally which some did in previous 2 days.. like yzj, capland  all rising about 3-5% from tues close to wed high etc   

Anyway , stocks aside, if u had wager with me on Obama's election victory , u would have made 30% profits from the bookie.

Before you jump in at open this morning to short after last nite's Dow 312 plunge  , wait & think  ...

 the markets never reward a trader for chasing hindsight, quite unlike in other realms of human endeavour ..

 anyway with the looming fiscal cliff, the STi may follow an inexorable  downward trajectory  if pessimism reigns in washington over next 30 days , with no ray of hope for resolution in sight ...since this is open class warfare between Obama and the tea party  - whose end result is not something  I would want to speculate on and so I am totally out of the market...I wun be shorting either as I do not know when Washington is going to make an announcement of some bipartisan deal of some kind  to "kick the can down the road " so take this chart with many pinches of salt since any good announcement anytime will create a big rally...  

where would  we go from here ? will china related stocks continue their run while the  STi falls  ? you are welcome to attend my preview to find out my outlook ....  no obligations to sign up ..promise it to be an interesting eye-opener ..many  trading secrets & market revelations to be shared ..  so feel free  .. thanks!

Election Week : Betting on Obama and Xi jinping

This week we will witness the election of  2 presidents from the 2 biggest economies of the world .. US & China. So this week , we take a break, instead of picking stocks , we pick presidents.

On Nov 6 , we have the US presidential elections, and on Nov 8 , the Chinese starts its 18th party congress culminating in the election of their next CCP leader, Xi JinPing.

In the US, despite unfavorable unemployment data , and despite what the opinion  polls like above says about the election results being a close call, a cliff hanger , nail bitter or in dead heat ( click here) , my bet is that Obama will be re-elected convincingly to a second term , for  reasons of favorable demographics ( seniors , uninsured , students , blacks, hispanics , women , sufferers of hurricane Sandy, lovers of Big bird , auto-workers in Detroit, fans of Bruce Springsteen,  and last but not least the 70% of americans who think they belong to the " 47%  victimized camp "  blackmarked by Mitt Romney..

Into this election, I think the dark clouds over the fiscal cliff problem may be lifted momentarily leading to a very small very short election  rally of sorts in the Dow before a big reversal post elections , when the electorate votes in a more pro-Democrat congress ( Senate and lower house )  and votes out the tea-party to resolve the grid-lock in Washington and to approve a grand bargain..hopefully .. 

In China, every time there is a party congress, the CCP will prop up the Chinese stockmarket  ie the SSE ..   this year should be no different and the SSE is already showing signs of strength, readying for a small rally  . In fact, the HSi had already charged ahead of the party congress for the past 2 months since 7 sept , quite independent of the Dow.  

In 2007 , we had a super rally 3-4 months into the 17th party congress ( 15 to 21 October 2007 )  with SSE peaking on the 16 oct 2007 and HSi peaking on 30 oct 2007. but that was then , the superbull before the great recession..

So what stocks are in play this week ? -   selected china related stocks that may benefit from some big announcements from the 18th party congress.  

Because Friday nite we had a 139 pt plunge in the Dow,  so Monday should see a open gap down .. upon which selected china related stocks may rally .,( click comments section below for any updates on particular china related stocks )
