Recent purchases: First REIT, AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT and Healthway Medical.

It is a wet evening and the stock market wasn't all that inspiring either. So, I decided to look at what I have bought recently and how they are doing.

First REIT
I bought some at 95c and again at 96.5c. Volume expanded today as price closed at 97c. It looks as if the rising 20dMA is pushing the price higher. Of course, FA proponents would say that the CR status is causing its unit price to stay bouyant which I believe too.

At the purchase price of 95c, my average price would be 95c x 4 + 50c x 5 /9 = 70c.  DPU of 6.4c in 2011 means a distribution yield of 9.14%.  At the purchase price of 96.5c, my average price would be 96.5 x 4 + 50c x 5 /9 =70.67c. Distribution yield would be 9.06%. Pretty attractive.

If I were to be successful in my excess rights application, the distribution yield would improve, of course. I am actually somewhat tempted to buy more. I might put myself in the buy queue at 96c which is where we find the rising 20dMA now.

 

However, a word of caution from the TA side: the MACD has formed a lower high while price formed a higher high on 9 Nov. This is a negative divergence and price could come down in time. Of course, we know that date is probably 1 Dec when the counter goes XR. Although I do not see any reason why it would trade below the TERP of 70c, it could.  If it does, I would buy more. Simple.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT
I bought more of this REIT and I blogged about it recently on 23 Nov. At 21.5c and an annualised DPU of 2.08c in 2011, the distribution yield of my latest purchase is 9.67%. This is very attractive to me. I am in the buy queue at 21c as well but with the rising 100dMA providing support at 21.5c, the chances of price going down to 21c aren't all that high.

Of course, with the MACD dipping into negative territory, we could see momentum remaining weak. Stochastics has similarly dipped into negative territory. Overall, the suggestion is that although we might not see much upside in the near future, the downside is similarly limited.  This is a great investment for anyone who is investing for income.

Healthway Medical
Although I have told myself before that I do not have to trade the market anymore and I could just sit back while waiting for dividends to come in from my investments, I just could not resist buying some Healthway Medical shares when I saw the positive divergence between price and MACD. I blogged about it on 22 Nov.

Well, it still looks rather promising. Volume is drying up as price consolidates at 15c. Immediate resistance is at 15.5c as provided by the 20dMA. Breaking this would give us an immediate target of 16.5c.  17c is where we find the downtrend resistance while 18.5c is the eventual target if the potential double bottom is a valid pattern. Now, if the downtrend resistance remains unbroken, there could be more downside to come. So, my strategy is to divest at resistance. This is purely a trade.

Healthway Medical: Prime for a rebound?

MBLM, Genting SP and Healthway Medical.

Walked a lot this evening after having dinner with a friend at MBLM. Yes, it is my new favourite mall.  So quiet, cool, clean and the service staff are all so friendly. Again, I was given free parking for 4 hours and so, I took a walk to MBS and, boy, that place was a ghost town.  Salespeople were looking at me expectantly as I walked past some of the shops. I felt bad almost for just being there.

Now, my legs have a nice mildly aching feeling from so much walking and I am feeling very sleepy. So, just a short post tonight before I hit the sack.

Genting SP
Formed a short white candle today. We could see a rebound and if it does happen, resistance is at $2.10 which is where we find the 50dMA. Anyone who is thinking of reducing exposure could consider doing so here. After all, price goes down a river of hope and rarely in a straight line.

With the 20dMA turning down and seemingly set to do a dead cross with the 50dMA, there could be more downside to come. After all, the momentum oscillators are downtrending but being oversold or bordering on oversold, we could see the formation of a floor. This floor could be at $1.85 if price resumes its downward trajectory.

Healthway Medical
In my blog post last night, I mentioned that the jury is still out on this one. The positive divergence I saw a couple of days ago is still in play.

The MACD histogram has turned green again. There is a struggle going on but with the MFI and RSI going generally higher, momentum has turned up. Even the OBV has turned up today, suggesting an increase in accumulation activity. If a rebound happens, first resistance is at 16.5c, the neckline of a potential double bottom formation, with an eventual target at 18c if the double bottom pattern is valid.

This short blog post has taken me longer than usual to complete: 50 minutes! My brain is working at 50% this evening. Good night and good luck!
