China Mobile (941 HK) Skyrockets- Is It Too Late to Jump In?

By Nico Rosti

  • In our previous, recent insight about China Mobile (941 HK) we correctly predicted a pullback was about to happen (it happened right after we published the insight).
  • We said “The stock should end its pull back between 72.85 and 72.25, it can be bought again from these levels. ” Actually the pullback ended much earlier (at 74.90).
  • Then the stock took off furiously, but (tactical consideration, if you were planning to go LONG) it may be too late to enter. Our models say it is WEEKLYoverbought.
