Gamuda

Gamuda Daily Chart

Gamuda is moving up with increasing volume. Watch out for a possible break of a symmetrical triangle pattern. The premium for its CWs are 3.94% (-CH, MYR0.48), 20% (-CI, MYR0.21) and 10.3% (-CJ, MYR0.16). My preference would be -CH.

Disclosure: Long in CW.

MRCB

MRCB Daily Chart

MRCB gave me the buy signal. Should challenge the upper boundary of a rising wedge. MRCB-CA is almost ATM. However, it is valued at a high premium of 25.18%. No go on the CW.

Disclosure: No position.

Pulling the Trigger

When I started trading, I always have problem of buying or selling. I grow nervous. All sort of questions comes into my mind. Is this a good price? Is it cheap now? Is it expensive? What happened if the price drop after I buy? etc etc. My heart will beat faster when I want to click the final "OK" button. I was full of adrenalin in trading stocks!

As time goes by, I manage to learn new tricks, new thinking to pull the trigger, like a cold blooded killer.

First thing, you must have a system that says when to buy, when to sell. You must take the signal no matter what others (economist, traders etc) say. Until you change your system due to the failure of your method, you must adhere to it.

Next, don't think about the price that you are paying. You cannot view the stock as cheap or expensive. What I do is to view the direction of the stock. There are 4 possible answers: Up, Down, Going nowhere (consolidation/bottoming/topping), I don't know.

You need to know that a stock moves like this: directionless , trending, directionless, trending, directionless, trending, .....and so on. The directionless could be just a consolidation or change of trend.

So, your trading system must be able to identify "up", "down" and "consolidation or topping or bottoming". The "I don't know" is due to insufficient data point. When you get insufficient data point, then obviously, you need to wait for a more clearer signal.

When you can think logically, then you will get rid of your emotion during the buying/selling phase. You will not second guess your action. You will become a cold blooded trader.

Commodity Summary

Crude Oil Futures Daily Chart

Looks like a rising wedge pattern for crude oil. A buy triggered on the daily chart. This means that it should challenge the upper resistance at around 75.00.

Gold Futures Weekly Chart

That is definitely a breakout for gold! Weekly chart is not yet overbought. So, can expect some more gain. If you look at the monthly chart, this bubble can sure go a long way before it burst.

The summary for others:

Commodity	Monthly	Weekly	Daily
Gold	Up	Up	Up
Crude Oil	Up	Up (+)	Up (+)
Crude Palm Oil	Down	Down	Down
Rough Rice	Neutral	Neutral	Neutral (+)

I have not put in other agriculture futures in the table above. Too lazy. But I should say that most of the agriculture futures have made a bullish divergence. So, watch out for agriculture plays in the future.

Weekly Summary

KLCI Weekly Chart

Market is overbought once more. So, I guess the explanation for going up is that this is the pre-budget rally. Oh, whatever. I prefer to look at individual stocks to make my trading decision. Every sectors except ACE market, is up now.

Malaysia	Monthly	Weekly	Daily	Note
FBM KLCI	Up	Up	Up (+)	R=1.3k, S=1.15k. Overbought
Finance	Up	Up	Up (+)	R=11k, S=9.5k
Construction	Up	Up	Up (+)	R=250, S=220
Plantation	Up	Up	Up (+)	R=6.15k, S=5.8k
Property	Up	Up	Up (+)	R=820, S=760
FBM ACE	Up	Neutral	Neutral	Triangle pattern.

Next week, pay attention to the property sectors. IJMLand, Glomac, and recently BRDB have moved (I only monitor stocks with warrant). There may be some laggards left which have not make any substantial movement. I think that if the property index (chart below) can close above 800, then that can be the 1st signal to get a little bit more aggressive with property counters. If the property index closes above 820, I think we will see euphoria. Currently, I have IJMLand-WA, E&O-WA and BRDB-WA.

Property Sector Weekly Chart

Wynn Macau

What a hype with Wynn Macau (1128). The traders that bought Wynn-C1 and Wynn-C2 sure have a crystal ball. Wynn-C1 is trading at a 36% premium while Wynn-C2 is at 61% premium! These traders sure take a lot of risk. With a simple gearing of around 2.4, in my opinion, it does not worth buying at all.

Volume View Point

Chartist are complaining that this uptrend is moving up with lower volume. Well, I think that they are too obsessed with volume and they are reading it the wrong way.

First, they only refer to the volume for the whole market. But you need to remember, the information does not represents the whole market due to speculative play such as KNM that inflates the volume. Sometimes you can see that penny shares that are hotly traded that command the top-10 trading spots.

For me, observation of volume is better done for individual stocks and not on the general market. What you consider a healthy uptrend is when:

1. Higher volume when moving up
2. Lower (decreasing) volume when moving down

The last point is, we don't want too high volume. A big spike in volume, especially when the stock is already on a long uptrend, usually indicates the end of the trend. Very high volume indicates that ah-pek, ah-mah and everyone is in. That is when you want to stay out (or get out).

Best time to get in is during low volume (of course after your trading setup issue a buy). If you can do that, then consider yourself not one of them (ah-pek & ah-mah) anymore.

BRDB

BRDB Weekly Chart

Immediate resistance at 1.82, next one at 2.30. Weekly chart is not yet overbought. Daily almost. Best way to play this is BRDB-WA which has broken the ascending triangle pattern. At today's closing BRDB-WA is not yet overbought and trading at -1.12% premium.

Disclosure: Long in BRDB-Wa.

Wynn Macau and HSI CW

3 new call warrants from CIMB will be listed on 9 Oct 2009:

New Warrants	Expiration	Type	Ex Price	Ratio
WYNN-C1	7/7/2010	Call	HKD 10.0800	8 : 1
WYNN-C2	7/1/2011	Call	HKD 12.8800	8 : 1
HSI-CB	30/11/2010	Call	21,000.00	8000 : 1

If you are from Bursa Malaysia, can you please ask Yusli to ensure that the warrant issuers include the stock code for the underlying stock of the SW? It is so troublesome to look for it. Wynn Macau stock code is 1128 and it is good if this code is included in the announcement template, just to prevent any misunderstanding.

Moneyness

So many warrants, how to choose? Once upon a time, there were only 1-2 call warrants per underlying stock. Now, times have changed, the list is getting longer. Every investment bank is busy issuing structured warrants.

I have just upgraded by Bursa Malaysia Warrant Calculator by using color coded rows to indicate the moneyness of the warrant. Green indicates in-the-money (ITM), pink indicates out-of-the-money (OTM) while gray indicates at-the-money (ATM). By using color codes, it is now easier to identify the moneyness of the warrant.

Don't understand ITM/OTM/ATM? Then check out here.

Genm, Sime Call Warrant

KNM

KNM Daily Chart

Based on daily chart, KNM could have broken out of a triangle formation. No buy signal yet. I think if it can at around 0.80, then only my system will issue a buy signal.

KNM Weekly Chart

Based on the weekly chart, if KNM can move up from here, then it has built a solid base which will enable it to challenge the downtrend line at 1.80-1.90.

There are 2 call warrants -CB/-CC. -CC gives you a better value as it is currently in the money. You can verify it using my Bursa Malaysia Warrant Calculator.

Disclosure: No positions.

Commodity Summary

Crude Oil Futures Weekly Chart

Crude oil still refuses to drop. It is clearly forming a ascending triangle and should challenge 75 again.

Gold Futures Weekly Chart

Gold moves up and down the 1000 level for the past few weeks. Will it moves up this time? My supporting evidence is the weekly RSI which is not yet overbought but shows a bullish reading. That is why I'm waiting for gold to move higher. The only problem is that it may not stay up high very long (based on daily chart reading).

The summary for the rest are:

Commodity	Monthly	Weekly	Daily
Gold	Up	Up	Up (+)
Crude Oil	Up	Neutral	Neutral (+)
Crude Palm Oil	Down (-)	Down	Down (-)
Rough Rice	Neutral (-)	Neutral	Down

Weekly Summary

KLCI Monthly Chart

Looking at the monthly chart, I can say that KLCI is not yet overbought. We can see that the sell-off and the subsequent rally looks like a V-shape. Based on weekly chart, the index looks tired. I cannot say whether there will be a sell-off at the moment. Why is there no severe correction when other markets are experiencing now?

The sector summary is given below:

Malaysia	Monthly	Weekly	Daily	Note
FBM KLCI	Up	Up	Neutral (-)	R=1.3k, S=1.15k. Overbought
Finance	Up	Up	Neutral (-)	R=10k, S=9k

Every markets have weakened. Going up is a battle now. Going down is easier. However, no sign of massive selldown in the charts yet.

Enhanced Warrant Calculator Database

I have updated my Bursa Malaysia Warrant Calculator with selected call/put warrants that are listed in Hong Kong and Singapore (see figure above). This gives traders a mean to compare how the same warrants is being valued in other exchanges. I'm now searching for a brokerage that allows me to trade through Internet the Hong Kong warrants. There are so many warrants in Hong Kong. I would say Hong Kong is a warrant heaven! Well, if you cannot get to trade put warrants in Malaysia, might as well move to Hong Kong markets.

Astro, Kencan, Sapcres, HSI CW

More call warrants from CIMB that will be listed on 28 Sept 2009:

New Warrants	Expiration	Type	Ex Price	Ratio
ASTRO-CC	24/09/2010	Call	MYR 3.4000	4 : 1
KENCANA-CA	24/09/2010	Call	MYR 2.0000	3 : 1
SAPCRES-CA	24/09/2010	Call	MYR 1.6500	3 : 1
HSI-C8	29/09/2010	Call	20,500.00	10000 : 1

I'm really disappointed that CIMB is still refusing to issue put warrants. How hard can it be? Don't tell me that there is no market because they have so many call warrants that is hardly traded at all. I hope that AmInvestment Bank will issue more call/put warrants.
