WED 16 SEP 09/26 Ramadan Wrap/ Eid Mubarak

Posted by Ghareb on September 16, 2009

another 0.9% up leg in this small congestion printed today by EGX and impulsive run by other middle east exchanges

I closed 4 positions today before the Eid holiday (Sunday, Monday) and because they begin to retreat after touching the upper boundary of their sideways action

and they’re: SUGR, IDEA, ETRS, UNIP and I’m very lucky in them cuz all of them are profitable specially SUGR regardless their short lives

and from the watch list posted yesterday 3 positions only triggered to gain some profits from this Eid run: IRON, ABRD, CEFM

I didn’t scan the charts today cuz I will not be available the next week, I will be in holiday trip to calm my mind and will follow my trades via phone

Posted by Ghareb on September 15, 2009

EGX30 (the main index of the Egyptian exchange) printed another down leg today –1.4% in this sideway below august high and taken the small pivot 6655

our portfolio transactions today: closing both MNHD and EREC, the first at BE and the second with good profit 1.6R/1R

and new 4 positions initiated from the watch list posted yesterday

and they’re: ALCN, ETRS, NASR, UNIP and all of them from the same industrial sector, I don’t know what’s cooking in this sector but history tell those are the main sector movers

the middle east markets retreated more today after the prior week surge and the only advancer was the Saudi Exchange TADAWUL

some stocks to watch for tomorrow Tuesday and the modified weekly watch list too
