I was scanning through some stock charts yesterday afternoon and Karex was showing early signs of a move up. It's price has slipped from 80 to be floating around 75/75.5 for a few sessions but now has the appearance of some interest entering the stock.
Yesterday the MACD was close to crossing over and this morning it has finally broken through. Yesterday's short term Moving Average was 76.5 and has just broken through this morning. Stochastics have just moved out of oversold territory and are now just into "low neutral" territory.
What it needs now is an increase in volume to make this small move more convincing. Obvious overhead targets are 80, 84 and 88.
Hong Leong Bank gave a buy recommendation last month on this stock with a valuation at 1.19 ( !!! ) but I wouldn't let that price influence you, as it feels like a million miles away from that price point right now.
Yes, an increase in volume could be the catalyst to help the price support all the other positive chart indicators. There was a bit more interest yesterday with the volume increasing by an extra 360K over the previous day. The overall soft market yesterday didn't do anything to help either.
The chart still looks tempting to me, so I picked up a few shares in this yesterday. Let's see what today brings :)
Except for the current glove players expansion plans, the other follow me counters might not be as successful due to marketing and distribution. Karex has a good, strong and wide distribution network on the consumer retail side. Once they break into the medical segment, they would be able to profit from their glove venture as well.
We all forgot that even with the surgical gloves, it's all packed in carton boxes and around 25 to 50 per box like mask.
Karex should smartly use their packaging knowhow and perhaps seal pairs of surgical grade latex gloves. Sometimes a difference in presentation and differentiation can drive a lot more profits from just following the leader.
I mentioned early last week that the chart was beginning to look interesting for an upward move, however , although the price did try to rise it failed to break 78.5. The overall market last week was soft/weak, so that certainly didn't help the upward move, with sellers moving in.
Today we are in the same place as we were early last week, with the Stochastics crossing over so we MIGHT see another attempt to break out of this current range. A more overall positive market this week (hope) may help Karex on its way up.
Disclaimer: I bought shares in this company last week.
SOLD 72% of the Karex that I doggedly averaged down from my first purchase @ 1.24 all the way down to the low 0.40s, from 74c all the way up to 80c this morning.
My average cost + commission is just over 73c =)
Didn't get top dollar when I exited my Karex position completely in August, BUT I'm so relieved to escape from this capital prison after a 3-year sentence lol!
Result good also plunge...now 7c BELOW my average entry level =)
