Plantation Counters.

Malaysian is one of the world's most important palm oil and rubber producer in the world, and plantations counters are generally covering a considerable position of fund manager's portfolios. This week, we shall take a look at some plantation counters.

IOI: Break below Rectangular.



Chart 1: IOI, chart from 25/08/2009 to 03/02/2010.

As shown on chart 1, price of IOI has been trading in the trading range betwee the RM 5.30 and RM 5.60 for nearly 4 months, forming a Rectangular pattern. This suggests that the direction for IOI is unclear, until a break out below the RM 5.30 level, as indicated by A.

After price breaking below the RM 5.30 level, the 14, 21, 31 EMA was also falling, thus serving as the dynamic resistance. Technically, it is a time to cut-loss when price broke below RM 5.30 level. If one should find it hard to cut loss immediately, gradually reducing position would be a wise move as well.

Despite the rebound at RM 5.00, price of IOI failed to break above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and therefore, the downtrend remains intact. If price should continue falling, those who had reduced their position would find that cutting loss is no longer difficult, for they had accepted the idea of cutting losses. Support for IOI is at RM 5.00 while the resistance is at RM 5.30 followed by the 14, 21, 31 EMA.

GENP: Testing Support line.

Chart 2: GENP, chart from 1/09/2009 to 3/2/2010.

As shown by chart 2, after price of GENP has dropped below the 14, 21, 31 EMA on the 26thof January, 2010, it is now testing the RM 6.00 support level. As indicated by A, although price of GENP did not rebounded obviously, it has stopped falling. Therefore, this implies that the RM6.00 support effect remains intact. Technically, price has to stay above the RM 6.00 level, then only it could consolidate. For this case, investors could choose to partially reducing position.

Since price of GENP is still staying below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the technical outlook shall remain bearish biased. If price should continue to be resisted by the falling 14, 21, 31 EMA, the bearish outlook shall remain intact. Next support for GENP is at RM5.50 level.

Conclusion:
With market sentiment turning weaker, plantation counters are also not performing well. It is important for investors to always trade with the direction of the broad market, and if the chart should show any uncertain signal, or investors should feel uncomfortable, it is always a good idea to partially reduce position, and still, a laying out a trading plan before buying is absolutely important.
