at the price action and forgot about the technical indicator. Reminder
to trade according to indicator without emotion.

Price Crosses Moving Average (200-week)
Long-Term Bullish
Volume 21,706,100
Close Price 7.750
Pattern Duration 1 day
The price is generally in an established trend (bullish
or bearish) for the time horizon represented by the moving average period
(21, 50 or 200 bars). Moving averages are used to smooth out the
volatility or "noise" in the price series, to make it easier to discover
the underlying trend. By plotting the average price over the last several
bars, the line is less "jerky" than plotting the actual prices. A bullish
event is generated when the price crosses above the moving average, and
in this state, the price is likely in an established uptrend. The opposite
is true when the price crosses below the moving average, triggered a bearish
event.
Based on 17 February 2017 closing

Key Things to Know About Keppel Corporation Limited’s 2016 Dividend
3
Things Investors Should Know From Keppel Corporation Limited’s 2016 Full
Year Results
CLSA Reports Highlights
1) Current order Books are low but not lower than it
was in the previous lull period at 2010.
2) Petrobras
is at a good financial position and thus may start making orders to Keppel
and Sembcorp Marine. There are legal bottlenecks that only a few companies
can build rigs for the pre-salt oil drilling program. The competitors for
our local companies for Petrobras's orders have scaled down significantly,
so we have the cost saving advantage if we were to bid for any upcoming
orders.
3) Floating
LNG (FLNG) is a potential development for both Keppel and Sembcorp.
For Sembcorp, the Gravifloat technology will be the key driver in winning
contracts.
4) The articles doesn't state many downside risks however.
I believe that the concentration risk towards Petrobras is one concern.
If Petrobras has a slow recovery or ends up ordering from a different company,
we could see order books stay stagnant for a while.
