Dear readers, Are you burnt in the aftermath of THE BREXIT? What should you do now? To cut loss, hold or buy more? Before you make the decision, it is good to consider the various markets and how they are likely to fare in the next two weeks.   S&P500 Index Just to recap what I have mentioned on 10 Jun 2016 (see HERE), I wrote “Given the low ADX, S&P500 may trade between 2,034 – 2,106 (barring Brexit on 23 Jun 2016).” –> Although Brexit happens, S&P500 reached an intraday low of 2,033 on last Fri, just 1 point […]

All in, my percentage invested was reduced from 80% to approximately 31%.

Innovalues’ potential bullish break in the making? (3 Jun 16)

el15

On 17 May 2016, I wrote that Innovalues’ profit taking may be over soon (see here) and a break above $0.925 – 0.935 on a sustained basis should negate the bearish tinge in its chart. It was coincidental that Innovalues surged 6.5% or $0.060 to close $0.985 on the following day (18 May 2016) on strong volumes and has not traded below $0.925 since then. What’s next for Innovalues? Read on for more.   Chart analysis After hitting an intraday high of $1.015 on 23 May 2016, Innovalues has been consolidating its gain. Based on Chart 1 below, it seems […]
