Healthway Medical: Testing 16c support.

It is quite clear on the OBV that Healthway Medical has experienced three continuous days of distribution. Volume today was the highest of the last three sessions as price closed at 16c, an important support level identified earlier.

On 14 Oct, I mentioned that "16c is likely to be psychologically important as a support.  So, if it could hold up, it could provide the base for a rebound" and "if the support at 16c breaks, the uptrend is well and truly over.  We could witness a massive selling down to 14c then (the 138.2% Fibo line), followed by 13c (the 161.8% Fibo line).  So, all eyes would be on 16c."

With the lower highs on the MFI and RSI suggesting weakening demand and buying momentum, it is likely that we would see price weakening further.  The chances of a rebound look poor especially when the weakening share price is accompanied by higher volume. The negative divergence between the uptrend in price and the downtrend in the MACD has yet to play out in full.

Keep an eye on 16c and if it breaks on high volume, we could see 14c tested as support sooner than later.  Any rebound in price from the current level is likely to be met with strong resistance at 17c, formerly a strong support and it is also where the merged 20d and 50d MAs are declining to.

Portfolio diversification.

An email from another reader:

Hello AK

I was thinking about the investment portfolio and its exposure to the various countries and sectors.

S-REIT is good for the high dividends payout but I feel that there will be a time that I will have a high exposure to the property sector.

While the % of sector/counters per $10,000 to be invested is up to individual, what will be a recommended spread of counters that we could look at for portfolio diversification.

Note that I am still newbie to FA (still dunno what 200dma means) and will not watch the market like a hawk for the buy-sell quick profits.

Your thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
J

My reply:

Hi J,

My strategy is quite simple.

-There is a time to buy and a time to sell. When I hit my targets, I sell.
-If I cannot find any bargains, I don't buy.  I keep cash until bargains present themselves.
-I try not to be vested in too many sectors/countries for the supposed safety that would come from diversification. In fact, I would be burdened with the need to monitor too many things.

Just my way. ;)

Best wishes,
AK
P.S. 200dMA is "200 days moving average" and is part of TA, not FA.
