Iron Ore to double dip

January 17, 2022 Leave a comment

Iron Ore too….is yet to make a new higher high.

Last week’s intraday high of $132.30 remains shy of October ’21’s $132.60 high.

In addition, trading in Iron Ore futures, on January 13th, 2022 produced a bearish outside reversal day.

I see risk in Iron Ore equities. The bounces have been impressive and taking the ‘fat part’ of the trade should satisfy many.

The advance wasn’t accompanied with robust volume.

I think this market will hurt the latecomers who have bought in the past week.

Markets do that sort of stuff. Shaking out those who shouldn’t be there…..is part of a market’s modus operandi.

Intuition suggests that we’ll see a test towards or close to recent lows. Perhaps I’ll call it a ‘double dip’.

At that stage, we’ll watch for any new ‘lower lows’ or where we see a consolidation.

There are plenty of ‘gap-ups’ to back and fill and the recent rally in those equities gives many a second chance to exit.

For some, it could be a ‘get out of jail free’ card.

Friday’s Rabbit Hole

April 16, 2021 Leave a comment

ASX listed Mineral Resources’ (MIN.ASX) stock price has gone somewhat parabolic to a point that, in terms of percentage above its 200 Week Moving Average, it is at the highest end of where it has traded over the past 12 years.

…..that’s a 200 Week, not a 200 Day moving average.

While that 200 Week Average will latently climb higher, probability increases the call for a mean reversion back to that level, or at least an attempt at one.

On a corporate front, it’s timely for the company to use this swelling of its currency (being its equity) to some benefit.

Borrow and Sell when you least need to

December 9, 2020 Leave a comment

’tis the season to focus on the new extremes being exhibited in selected stocks.

Today, I want to discuss Australian listed mining and related services company called Mineral Resources (MIN.AX).

MinRes is a high quality enterprise and managed very well with an extremely competent team. It has a solid (conservative) balance sheet, attractive margins and exhibited ravishing growth.

Currently its price action (I’ll discuss valuations another time) is trading at extremes. The charts below show that MinRes is trading at a stretch above its 200 day moving average (on a Weekly basis) and at 2 standard deviations above its Monthly mean. This doesn’t happen too often.

Previous visits to these levels have married up with oversold readings and peaks in its trending strength.

It’s at this point that investment bankers should be circling and pitch that MinRes either;
a) raise money by offering shares in the secondary market,
b) use its ‘inflated’ stock as currency to make acquisition or
c) borrow cheap debt
