Trading opportunities

To be successful in trading the stock market, one has to monitor the market constantly and keep looking for trading opportunities.

There are eight stocks jumped into my screen which matched my Meta Stock program screening criteria. Meta Stock is an award winning investment software in America for many years and earned good reputation.

 The stocks selected are 1. Zelan, 2. HO WAH GENTING BHD(HWGB), 3. Dutaland, 4.Green Packet, 5.Tiger, 6. IJMLand, 7. Borneo Oil, 8.Coastal contract.

Zalan closed at RM 0.25 last Friday. The low on that day was 0.245. It has come down from the high of RM 0.55 on Feb 14, 2012.  On Monday, it closed at RM 0.245.

RM 0.245 is close to the low of RM 0.235 achieved on Sep 26, 2011.

If history were to repeat itself, Zelan will eventually move back to challenge the high of RM 0.55 achieved on Feb 14, 2012.

Before, it can move that far, it has to overcome the resistance at RM 0.295, RM 0.355, RM 0.425, and then RM 0.55.

14 day RSI recorded at 25.27 last Friday which is a oversold position.

Zelan’s wholly-owned unit Zelan CONSTRUCTION Sdn Bhd has been awarded a RM 179.32 million contract for the construction of whart structures at Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas in Johor by MMC CORPORATION BHD’s unit.
