HPI may have a bullish breakout

HPI has announced a very good set of results for QE31/8/2010. Its net profit increased by 5.6% q-o-q or 20.6% y-o-y to RM7.6 million while its turnover increased by 4.7% q-o-q or 20.5% y-o-y to RM106 million. The better performance is due to higher sales from its packaging division.

    Hi Learner,

    QSR has rallied substantially and it's now highly overbought. Nevertheless, it can stay overbought for a while as the share price continued to rise. QSR has made a new all-time high when it surpassed the high of about RM4.50 recorded in 1996.

    I am more comfortable with a strategy of buying on pullback. Good levels to aim for are RM5.00 & RM4.60 which are the 50 & 100-day SMA lines.

    Hi JY

    I am positive on the steel sector due to more development projects being rolled out by the Government. You can get the daily steel prices by going to http://www.meps.co.uk/allproducts%20steel%20price.htm or http://steelguru.com/

    Hi wong

    I have been watching OGAWA for so long. It needs to break above the horizontal line at RM0.45-0.475 convincingly to start on its upleg. Indicators are slowly turning upward. A bullish breakout is possible.

    OGAWA's performance has turnaroud in FY2010. It made a net profit of RM8.3 mil on turnover of RM156 mil. This compared to a net loss of RM12.4 mil on turnover of RM129 mil in FY2009. However, OGAWA's financial performance still lags behind OSIM which may account for the spectacular rise in the latter share price.

    So, watch out for the RM0.45-0.475 level!

    Hi keane hong

    Naim has just broken above the strong horizontal resistance at RM3.65. However the volume is rather small & the ADX is still very flattish. I expect the stock to remain at the RM3.65-3.75 level for a while. Once it has recruited enough buying support, it could test the next resistance at RM3.90-4.00.
