In my  presentation in Absolute Traders&rsquo; year-end chart analysis forum last  December, I noted that people should start to avoid MEG at that mean  time given its technical set-up. In my colleague&rsquo;s post in January 12  (kindly see it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2011\/01\/12\/megaworld-meg-stocks-slowing-down\/\">here<\/a>), he mentioned again MEG&rsquo;s likely downturn. And guess what? Exactly a week after that (January 19), MEG&rsquo;s breakdown occurred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since breaching the head and shoulders&rsquo; neckline at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/forex\/usdphp\/\" target=\"_blank\">PHP<\/a> 2.20, MEG had slipped to a low of PHP 1.98. After doing so, it managed  to rally back to to the neckline but was unable o move past above it.  For almost a month now, MEG has been stuck within a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/chart-patterns\/rectangle\" target=\"_blank\">rectangle pattern<\/a> (trading between PHP 2.00 and PHP 2.20). Its bias, however, is bearish  given its recent breakdown from a head and shoulders pattern. Hence, a  fall below the rectangle&rsquo;s support at PHP 2.00 could send it down to its  downside target of PHP 1.80 or to its former high at PHP 1.74.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So to avoid possible losses, I would  immediately cut my long positions especially if the support at PHP 2.00  gets broken. Of course, I would want to sell my positions at rallies.  But that&rsquo;s just me. By the way, this is not to say that Megaworld  Corporation is not a fundamentally sound company because it is. Perhaps  the market is just waiting for a more attractive price before they get  on board once again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2010 was a marquee year for Andrew Tan&rsquo;s flagship company Megaworld Corporation or MEG in the Philippine Stock Exchange as it was able to book a 69.86%.&nbsp;However, MEG&rsquo;s outlook had started to look a bit bleak around December as it started to form a head and shoulders pattern which technical analysts consider as a bearish &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/2011\/02\/15\/megaworld-corporation-meg-poised-for-another-10-drop\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Megaworld Corporation (MEG) Poised For Another 10% Drop&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19469\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.investmacro.com\/fx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
