LCL Corporation closed at RM 0.725 during Friday's trading session.

The stock closed up on high volume a sign that investors are buying into the stock.

The technical charts are also showing bullish signs.

The MACD indicator just made a bullish crossover.

The +DI is above the -DI. However ADX is still at the lower end which means that the stock price although moving up, will most likely be a weak up trend.

RSI is increasing and is not in overbought region.

The resistance is still at RM 0.76. Support is at RM 0.62 level.

A way to ride on this uptrend is to buy when the stock moves above RM 0.73 and to take profit when RSI shows decreasing momentum. Stop loss level can be set at slightly below RM 0.64 which is near the 50 day moving average closing price.

Lafarge - Buy On Pullback


Lafarge Malayan Cement broke out of its resistance level RM 4.74 near the end of May 09 and the stock has been gaining ground since then to reach a high of RM 6.50.


As the leader of the Malaysian cement industry and a major player in the Asian export market, this stock should benefit from the stimulus plan that are being implemented by Asian countries.

The ADX is above 30 with +DI above the –DI, indicating a strong trend that is developing.

MACD is also bullish at the moment with the indicator above its signal line.

Analysts are expecting a pullback in the stock market after a spectacular run from March lows. This stock should be a good candidate to buy on pullback. Look to enter near the RM 4.74 level, which is the previous resistance level.
