Right infront of my nose – Sainsbury’s PLC

groceryFinding stocks to invest in has proven pretty difficult for me of late. I find it hard to short stocks and as such I’ve not been able to reconcile the technical analysis that I have been doing with the fundamental reality that we are still firmly entrenched in a severe economic downturn.

However my analysis tonight revealed a stock that looks like a good buy and its been infront of my nose for the last 10 years!

sainsbury_20090810Sainsbury’s PLC (SBRY.L) is a retailer that I visit at least once a week. It’s never been a stock I have considered owning in the past but right now the technicals look good for a couple of points to the upside. I’ve designed the trade to ensure there is room for this stock to naturally oscillate – my stop is firmly below levels of support. The Stochastic is currently oversold and with the stock in the daily squeeze, I would expect at somepoint a relatively powerful move in one direction or the other.

My Sainsbury’s Order detail

Buy Limit @ 316p (A minor pullback required for a fill)
Stop – 300p (Well below potential support – giving this trade some room)
Target – 335p (My initial target – depending on how/if it gets here, I’ll make a decision)
Position size – £12/point. (£12 * 16pts = £192.00)
Max risk – £192 (less than 2% of AtticFund)
