Best Young Executive for 2008; Best stock for 2009?

Gene Murtagh Jr took the plaudits for the best young executive of 2008 as his company shed 75% over the course of the year. Can he make it a good 2009 for Kingspan shareholders?

Contrary to action in the broader market at the time (summer 2008) Kingspan was able to break through its declining resistance line created from 2007 before it fell with the rest of the market. The former resistance line was successfully backtested in late November before the stock limped through a second resistance line, dating back to the summer, in early December. Since then the stock has meandered sideways looking for direction


Wannabe buyers are likely to wait for €3.46 before volume buying kicks in; set a Zignals Stock Alert for €3.47 or thereabouts to get the jump on when this happens. I have entered a YourCall on Zignals Stock Charts for a push to last summer's highs (€7.99) as a target for 2009 with a stop close to November lows (€2.69).
