LONG/SHORT |
Reason |
No. 1
|
Fletcher Building Limited (FBU) |
Long |
The hunter becomes the hunted. Rumor of Aus’ largest building & construction materials supplier Boral circling. Current trading at $6.45 from high of $13.45 just over a year ago. Would think Boral will have to pay double-digits if they’re serious on taking them out. |
No. 2
|
Westpac Banking Corporation (WBC) |
Long |
Aus’ First Bank trades back above $20. New reporting lines implemented this week by Gail Kelly as she dictates her management style. Looking for a break above $23.00 toward $25.00/20 |
No. 3
|
US Crude Oil Aug 08 |
Long |
Whip-saw movements saw longs able to take some profits. $147.29 was traded. Bottom-picking can be expensive but bids at $128.50-$129.00 might be where the next $10 of value is. Sep 08 contract trades at a 0.80 premium to the Aug 08! |
No. 4
|
BHP Billiton Limited (BHP) |
Long |
Short was the way & achieved the $37.00 objective trading today down to $36.69. Traders think its time to turn & go long for a look back at $40.80-$41.00 |
No. 5
|
JB Hi-Fi Group Pty Ltd (JBH) |
Long |
Fierce competition is sensitive in NZ, where it appears Real Groovy Records has been bought to their knees. Buyers all week from the $10.70 area, today at $12.00 as traders look for a test of $13.30-50 |
