Interestingly, the stock occupying the top volume spot is RCECap, which gained 3.5 sen to RM0.635, on volume of 3.8 million units done as at 10.00 am. These 2 stocks were rumored to be involved in some corporate exercises a few months back.

Is the corporate exercise involving these 2 stocks about to be announced? Based on the bullish breakout, these 2 stocks (especially, MBSB) could be a good trading BUY. As MBSB has run up quite a bit, you may like to buy after the share price has pulled back.

Note: MBSB reported a net profit of RM53.2 million on a turnover of RM358.8 million for FYE31/12/2007. RCECap reported a net profit of RM38.0 million on a turnover of RM95.8 million for 9-month ended 31/12/2007. MBSB's full year EPS & RCECap's 9-m EPS stood at 15.43 sen and 5.87 sen, respectively.
