LMCemnt- uptrend likely to continue

LMCemnt has just broken above its horizontal resistance at RM10.15 at about 10:00 am this morning. See Chart 1. With this upside breakout of its all-time high (albeit on very thin volume), LMCemnt is poised to continue with its uptrend. I expect the upcoming move to be a relatively small move of about 10%. This gives a potential target of RM11.00.

Based on technical breakout and positive outlook for the building material sector, LMCemnt could be a trading BUY.

Hi vincent chua

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) seems to be peaking. If so, the no Oomph in any rally for semicon stocks.

Unisem may put in a short rally to test its strong horizontal resistance at RM1.00.

Hi Alex,

Many thanks

Hi networking

Tasek paid a dividend of RM1.20 in FYE31/12/2012 (an increase from RM1.00 previously). For FY2012, its revenue was flattish at RM564 mil while net profit from RM103 mil to RM92 mil.

It may have broken its long-term uptrend line at RM15.50. Its next support is the horizontal line at RM14.80. Failure to recover above the uptrend line would a warning. Thus, it is good to avoid the stock for now or, if you have it, take profit on this stock.
