LBS, Supermx, SAAG, Scomi.

Ever since the rebound from 1224 level, the KLCI short term movement has been improving, while breaking above the 14, 21, 31 EMA as well as the Bollinger Bands bullish signal. With the KLCI now above the Bollinger Middle Band, the immediate technically outlook is bullish biased, as indicated by A.


Chart 1: KLCI, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

Despite technical indicating that the KLCI is gradually gaining strength, total market volume remains below the 40-day VMA level, suggesting that the overall market participation is still relatively low. This implies that the market confidence is also low.

Nevertheless, there are still some counters that are regaining their positions, while others are still trending down. Investors should pick stock carefully, and only select those counters which has a trend similar to the broad market, and avoid stocks that are still trending down.

LBS

Chart 2: LBS, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

As shown on chart 2, price of LBS went into a consolidation last month, but it was supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA. As indicated by A, as the KLCI pick up some strength, price of LBS rebounded, and remained above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, thus suggesting that it might be resuming its uptrend, and the 14, 21, 31 EMA shall serve as the dynamic support.

If price should remains supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend shall continue, and immediate resistance is at RM 0.85 level. If price should break above the RM0.85 resistance with strong volume, more upside movement is expected for LBS. If price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to take profit.

Conclusion:
When the market turns bullish, investors have to always confirm the bullishness with volume. If volume should failed to break above the 40-day VMA level, it suggests that the rally was mostly on selective counters, thus picking the right stock would be harder. Therefore, investors should pick stocks that has the similar movement with the broad market, avoid stocks that are still trending down, despite blue chips or KLCI components.

CIMB, Axiata, Genting, LCL, and Bursa.

The KLCI rebounded strongly, and breaking above the 14, 21, 31 Exponential Moving Average – EMA, as indicated by A. Meanwhile, the Bollinger Bands expanded, with the KLCI above the Bollinger Middle Band, thus giving a bullish signal. Technically, the KLCI is still lacking of one important bullish condition, which is the volume. (Please refer to arrow B).


Chart 1: KLCI chart from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

Based on the statistic in the past, if the KLCI should rally without volume reaching above the 40-day VMA level, it suggests that the rally is only selectively, and not a strong bullish market. Therefore, there are some counters gaining, while many counters are actually still trending down. Investors should carefully select the stocks that follow the broad market and avoid the stocks which are trending down.

Stocks that follow the market flow:

AXIATA

Chart 2: Axiata, from 27/10/2009 to 24/02/2010.

As indicated by A, price of Axiata followed the KLCI rebound, while continuously being supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and tested the RM 3.50 resistance level. If price of Axiata should break above this resistance, it would be making a new high, thus suggesting a continuation of the uptrend. However, a valid break out has to be confirmed with strong volume, and provided that price of Axiata is still staying above the rising 14, 21, 31 EMA, it is a good idea to keep the stocks as the uptrend remains intact. If price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to take profit or to cut loss. If price should break above the RM 3.50 level, the next resistance for Axiata is seen at RM 4.10.

If volume is low during a break out, the break out would not be confirmed.

If price of CIMB should remain supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend is still intact, and it is a good idea to hold the stock, until the price should break below 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to take profit. Next resistance for CIMB isat RM 13.58.

For the investors who are having losses, technical rebound is a chance to reduce losses. As for short term speculator, a technical rebound is a chance for some short term trading, provided with skills, of course. However, a short term trader should always be clear of his original intention, which is to speculate, and once price move against him, he should cut loss without any doubts.

Chart 1: KLCI chart from 20/10/2009 to 17/02/2010.

Since the rebound at 1224.37 points, the KLCI gained 23.85 or 1.9%. During the rebound of the KLCI, many counters have also rebounded, while the performance varies. Some counters failed to break away from its downtrend despite the rebound; some broke above the dynamic resistance, while some resumed its uptrend. Here are some case studies for this week.

Axiata: Uptrend intact, testing new high



Chart 2: Axiata, chart from 20/10/2009 to 17/02/2010.

As shown on chart 2, despite the price of Axiata retreated, it was supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA. As indicated by A, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still serving as the dynamic support for Axiata, price price since rebounded from the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it is now testing its resistance at RM 3.50. This suggests that price of Axiata is still trending up but only resisted by RM 3.50 resistance.

Technically, provided that price of Axiata is supported by the rising 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend shall remains intact. If price should break above RM 3.50 level, it would be making a new high, thus the uptrend is expected to carry on, and the next resistance is seen at RM 3.74. For trend trading investors, as long as price is still supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it is a good idea to hold on to the position, until price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA. If investors should feel uncomfortable, a partial profit taking is also a good alternative, in which it partially reduces trading risk while retain a portion for the uptrend potential.

CIMB: Technical Rebound, downtrend remains.



Chart 3: CIMB, chart from 20/10/2009 to 17/02/2010.

As shown on chart 3, as the KLCI technically rebounded, price of CIMB also rebounded from RM12.06 level, and until now, it has gained RM0.495 or 4.3%. However, as indicated by A, it is precisely resisted by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, which is the dynamic resistance. This suggests that the recent rebound was merely a technical rebound, not a reversal yet.

If price should remains resisted by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, there is a risk of resuming its downtrend, while the first support is at RM 12.06 level, and the 14, 21, 31 EMA shall continue serving as the dynamic resistance.

Generally, a technical rebound is not the best time to buy, but a good chance to take profit or get out. If price should start falling again after being resisted by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and breaks below RM12.06 level, it would be making a new low.

Technically, this is a good signal, suggesting that price of Supermx is now resuming its uptrend, and the best confirmation would be an increased of volume. If price should remain supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend shall remain intact, and the next resistance is seen at RM 6.18 level. Trend trading investors should hold on to their positions as long as the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still supporting the uptrend. If price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would be a signal to take profit, and the lower support line is at RM 4.80 level.

Delaying Cutting Loss is High Risk.

To make profit from the stock market, is not only knowing how to spot for buy signal, but more importantly, knowing when to cut-loss. When the broad market is correcting, many individual counters are likely to have their correction as well. Smart investors know how trading with the broad market, and definitely know when to get out, because there will be buy signal again.


Chart 1: FBM KLCI, chart from 8/10/2009 to 3/2/2010.

As shown on chart 1, the FBM KLCI started its high volatile technical correction after breaking above the 1300 mark briefly, and as a result, the KLCI fell below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, which is now serving as the dynamic resistance. However, as indicated by A, the KLCI is still supported by the 1250~127 level, and temporary consolidating from its downward movement. But despite its consolidation, the KLCI is still resisted by the falling dynamic resistance, thus the immediate outlook is bearish biased.

If the KLCI should rebound from the 1250 and break above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, together with the increased of market volume above the 40-day VMA level, the KLCI should have a chance to regain some strength. Other wise, if the KLCI should break below 1250, more downside movement is expected.

When the broad market is weakening, individual counters tend to be weak as well, and therefore, investors should follow the broad market direction, and never trade against it. A smart investor should have his/ her trading plan well laid out before buying any share, and when price should trigger the cut-loss level, it is only logic to act upon it, to avoid unnecessary risk.


Chart 2: Airasia, chart from 7/1/2008 to 24/06/2008.

As indicated by A, the Bollinger Bands Width re-expanded, with price of Airasia below the Bollinger Middle Band, thus signaling bullish biased signal, and investors can choose to buy with this signal, with the first cut-loss point at the Bollinger Middle Band. As indicated by B, price of Airasia fell below the Bollinger Middle Band, thus triggered the cut loss point, and investors should honor their trading plan and cut loss (RM 1.56).

As pointed by C, D, and D, the Bollinger Bands contracted and re-expanded but every time it expands, price is below the Bollinger Middle Band, thus suggesting the downtrend is still intact. If investors should failed to cut loss at arrow B, he or she would suffer a great loss by holding on their shares in the downtrend.

Cutting Loss Promptly:

No body could forecast the future movement of the market, regardless of what methods they use. One could only apply studies and analysis with statistic. One should understand the reality that investing has not perfect formula nor short-cut methods, nor any automatic stock picking softwares. Investment is personal professional business, which requires skills and experience, and lots of hard work. Therefore, investing is more than picking the right stock, it is all about trading plan.

Any reasons can cause the stock price to fall, but the only reason why investors lose money is because they never cut-loss. The highest risk in trading is not the high or low of the stock price, but not cutting loss.

Table 1: % to recover after a loss in order to breakeven.

As shown by Table 1, if an investor cut loss after losing 10%, he will get 90% of his remaining cash, and he could start over again when the same stock or another stock gives him the right signal to buy. If at the next trade, the stock forms an uptrend, all he needs is a gain of 11.11% to regain all his previous losses. Therefore, recovering a 10% loss is not difficult, and provided the investor has cash, there will be opportunities.

However, if one should failed to cut loss and if the loss is 50%, it will be too late. Because, if a stock price should fall 50%, it need to regain 100% just to get back to the original level. In other words, if one cut loss after losing 50%, he will only have 50% in cash, and he need to buy a stock that could rise 100% in order for him to break even. Compare 100% and 11.11%, and you shall see the reality and probabilities of winning. Reducing trading risk, is actually also increasing chances of winning.

Last week's Case Studies Review:

AMMB

Chart 3: AMMB, chart from 11/09/2009 to 3/2/2010.

As indicated by A, after breaking below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, price of AMMB rebounded from its RM4.70 support, and temporary stopped the decline and consolidated. However, as indicated by B, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still falling while serving as its dynamic resistance, therefore, the technical outlook for AMMB is now bearish biased. Technically, all rebound below the 14, 21, 31 EMA are only technical rebound, not a sign of a reversal yet.

In other words, if price should rebound and break above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, then there is a chance for AMMB to regain is position, and re-test the RM5.36 resistance. Otherwise, if price should stay below the falling 14, 21, 31 EMA, and break below the RM 4.70 support, it would be a signal to cut loss, because the next support for AMMB is seen at RM 4.40 level.

CIMB

Chart 4: CIMB, chart from 14/09/2009 to 3/2/02010.

As shown on chart 4, after breaking below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, price of CIMB has been trending lower. As indicate by A, price of CIMB is testing the RM 12.80 support level while consolidating. This suggests that the support of RM 12.80 is still effective. However, as indicated by B, the 14, 21, 31 EMA is still serving as the dynamic resistance. Technically, this suggests that the outlook for CIMB is still on the negative side.

If price should break above the 14, 21, 31 EMA, it would have a chance to break away from this bearish biased movement. If price should failed to rebound from the RM 12.80 support, it would be a good idea to reduce position, for the next support is seen at RM 11.68.

Conclusion:
The biggest killer in the market is not the falling of the stock price, but refusing to cut-loss. In fact, it is very important to trading with the direction of the broad market, and provided that investors could follow their own trading plan, the risk of trading is actually limited.

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.

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.
