I'm willing to bet we've seen a short term low on HAR today. I'm taking a punt on this. 5300 support, target 5850.OMO

Nah, think we have some upside potential here. Taken a small position with a stop loss. Har moving into the value territory with a PE below 9. They still make money and pay divi's you know,unlike the platimun producers + they haven't seen any upside after the rand shedding 10% of it's value since Jan. See this as a contrarian view.

Your right Simon. You can seldom trade gold shares on valuations, so if I get the change, I do it. Har has reached some strong support, and I know you don't believe much in support and resistance lines either, so I'll stick to saying that based on lastest earnings, HAR seems cheap.

lots and lots of contradictions here. You are trading on valuation - but you are believing in support and resistance. And you say based on latest results - what? Increased revenue but declining profits and declining EPS? How is that anything to get positive about?

It's on support and dirt cheap. That's all you need to worry about. I'll worry about the earnings decline. I'm looking for a 10% bounce. Tomorrow should take care of a portion of that.

I agree with Simon, it is all about the price. But kwagga does make sense in this position. The price was wandering around 50's to 61. I just missed a short as HAR didn't get through R60 for my req to short (reversed from 5911). Turns out a 3 days loss streak, especially a big dump down on 3rd and 4th April. From what I guess it should recover on 5th, as it was trading nearly at 52 weeks low at around R52 on 04/04/2013. The thing is why it will recover on the 5th, if it should have reversed on the 4th. Technically it will bounce, but given the current eco situation, it is just hardly convincing HAR is trading at a bargain. The only reason people buying will only based on the price history, which is why kwagga take this position. Simply too risky for a take for me, perhaps a long shall it drop below 52 weeks low.

well done, rather settle the position already, you already got 30% on one trading day. :)

yesterday's action tells a story: a very clear buy divergence (price lower low, RSI higher low). Normally this means there is a high probability of a trend reversal.

HAR is up 5% since I bought and I'm still looking at my target price of 58.50. SBK has a target price on this of R65, but I'll settle for less.
