Magnum Technical Analysis

Magnum stock is one I've always liked and personally purchase their products from time to time.  The stock pays consistent dividends.  The company plies its trade in the gaming industry and has reached a market size which enables it to compete with the big boy, Berjaya Sports Toto.  It's latest 4D jackpot is within the 20 million Ringgit prize pool which is a testament to its market strength.

Any time I get a chance to buy a stock like this on a discount, I'll take it any day.  There are only a few things which have always been recession resilient, alcohol, taxes, cigarettes, death industry, and gaming.  Of course most of these industries face the risk of government meddling, but assuming status quo, buy these industries on the cheap.

Gaming tends to also have a problem with over expansion world wide, but in the case of Malaysia I doubt it will ever experience that scenario, given the conservative religious majority.  Restrictions on new entrants and a resilient industry is a winner in my books.  The price of course is the major issue which leads me to some price analysis.

The stock is on an uptrend with a breakout in 2012.  It is now approaching that particular trend line sent at the start of 2012.  For me, a buy below 2.25 would be the best, but I would consider putting in a purchase at the trend line.
