Stock Picks – Golden Opportunity in ABX

by Sam Collins | October 20, 2009 9:52 am

 

Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX[1]) — This acquirer, explorer, and developer of gold properties and copper, silver and zinc, has pulled back from a recent high at more than $40 and is stabilizing between the 50- and 200-day moving averages.  

 

We have been following ABX all year with the latest comment on Oct. 2[2]. On June 16[3], I said,” Yesterday, Barrick fell to just above the 50-day moving average, and could even pull back to the 200-day moving average and major support line at about $31.50. But ABX is now in an uptrend, so purchases now and on any pullback could provide substantial reward. The trading target for ABX is $45.” 

Now, with a fully developed right triangle and a new buy signal from Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD)[4], it looks like buyers at this level stand a good chance of seeing ABX hit the $45 goal.
