    Default MHJ - Michael Hill International.

    Gryffyn, here is the MHI chart you wanted.
    MHI has been in an uptrend for about a year now. This uptrend has been characterised by a series of symmetrical triangles. These are a reasonably bullish formation, in that 64% of them break to the upside, 34% down. The current symmetrical triangle is forming nicely and an upside breakout would confirm continuation of the uptrend. A downside breakout would spoil the pretty chart.
    I have plotted trendlines and their associated buy/sell signals, along with a 100 day simple moving average such as would be used by a medium-term trader. The moving average crossover signals provide useful confirmation of the trendline break signals, though usually some time later.
    The 1 year ema is plotted to give some idea of how such an indicator would be used by long-term/buy/hold trader/investors. There are a lot fewer signals, and of course they are always late - this is a very conservative moving average. Not everyone wants to trade actively, and the use of such an indicator keeps long-term holders on the right side of the major trends.
    A 14% Stoploss is plotted, but this is really a backstop - other indicators will usually have signalled an exit long before this would be hit.
    Current price action is well above the 4 indicators plotted here.

    Thanks for the chart Phaedrus. I have been looking at MHI since a relative told me MH's aim is 1000 stores in 18 years time (now thats longterm!). I'll now be watching for an upside breakout, or a bounce off the trendline or ema after a downside breakout.
    EPS b4 all else!

    I like the 1,000 stores in 18 years bit

    Might get there one day .... even though going backwards these days

    Thanks very much Phaedrus :-)

    Confirms my decision to sell at 5.99 and stay out for now. I expect more activity will come around the next reporting date.

    Interesting that MHI was picked by many as the one share they would invest in if they had to make a choice but TA plus basic fundamentals don't give it the same gloss. I guess everyone loves a winning story and the gut feel is that long-term this is still a very good share.

    Thanks again.

    I presume you are talking the fundamentals of the share price and not the underlying business? I think the business fundamentals look solid, despite short/medium'ish term risks of a retail downturn.

    Yes, P/E and yield don't necessarily stack up against some other shares but I agree that the underlying business looks sound.

    Certainly an easy share to appraise in that regard - nice and focused with their plans clearly set out.

    Whether a lot of that track record and optimism is already priced in is the question and the share funds plus TA make it appear so.

    Anyone thinking this share is fairly/fully valued?

    Good result but not stellar. More sideways softness predicted for next 6 months I think.

    Disc: None but considering re-acquiring.

    Pretty close to fully valued.

    Underlines its future growth is offshore (Aust and Canada, possibly US?). 1.2pct same stores growth in NZ, below the rate of inflation.
