IJM is testing its uptrend line support now.

IJM suffered a sharp fall early this morning. It tested its 8-month uptrend line support at RM5.80. See Chart 1. It may even test its 2-year uptrend line support at RM5.70 if this selldown persist. I do not have any information as to why the stock is being sold down.

Technically, IJM could be a good trading BUY at RM5.70-5.80 if the selling dried up & the stock may stage a rebound. However, in the current cautious market, one has to exercise our discretion in entering any trading position.

Mr. Alex, Would appreciate your comments on KKB. My analysis shows KKB to be trading at a PE of 7, Dividend Yield of 8.4% at its current price of 2.09. What do you think is an appropriate PE to be assigned to KKB? Thanks

Hi Alex:
With the impending protracted long- drawn civil wars in Libya , Egypt , Tunisia and many other countries fighting for civil liberties and human rights in the name of Democracy ( created by the developed countries) , peace and stability will be at stake . The Cause/Effect will be greatly reflected in the stock market worldwide. Coupled with the world disastors and calamities surrounded us , nothing can be fully realised under these circumstances . Thus just have to make fingers crossed and prayed hard.

Hi Arsenal

I agree with your analysis on KKB- the low PE & high dividend Yield. Check out my 2 posts here .

Chartwise, it is trapped within a rising or bearish wedge, with support & resistance at RM2.00 & RM2.35 respectively. A break above RM2.35 could signal a continuation of its prior uptrend. Conversely, a break below RM2.00 could signal a reversal in the share price. Given the attractive valuation, I expect the risk is to the upside. However, do take into account the 'Taib Mahmud' factor when we look at KKB. At this moment, this factor is not a positive. As such, it has been a drag on the share price performance.
