The Australian-listed Star yesterday informed its investors that Ellerston Capital (25% owned by James Packer) now has a 5.07% stake.
Institutional investor, Perpetual, which is already Star’s biggest shareholder, also increased their holding when Malaysian casino giant Genting sold down its stake.
Star & Tabcorp have “lower high” formations, where as Crown is displaying a bullish, “higher low” formation.
Amcor is trading on a high multiple of 19x forward earnings and a 3.8% dividend yield. However, the earnings are relatively defensive and we’re expecting 8% underlying EPS growth.
The stock should find support at or near $16 and is an appropriate consideration as a buy-write for client portfolios.
We’ve been highlighting the buying opportunities in WOW, ORG, IPL, GPT, TCL & SYD over the last few weeks.
We continue to like these names and see supportive technical and fundamental factors, which we believe will create investor value.
Our Algo Engine recently triggered a buy signal in a number of ASX listed REIT’s as well as the SPDR Property Fund ETF.

The AUD/USD traded higher everyday last week as the currency traded to a 15-month high versus the USD at .7833.
General weakness in the USD combined with stronger Chinese import data gave the AUD/USD the momentum to break above the .7825 level last traded in April last year.
It’s worth noting that over the last 15 months, the AUD/USD has traded over .7750 four times. On each of these occasions, within a month, the AUD/USD had dropped by 4%, or more.
More precisely, after trading up to .7825 on April 21st, 2016, the AUD/USD lost over 8.5% to trade at .7150 on May 24th.
With both the RBA minutes and the monthly employment data set for release this week, we could hear some comments from the RBA regarding the impact of a higher currency on Aussie exports and the economy.
Investors looking to profit from a lower AUD/USD can look to buy the BetaShare ETF with the symbol: YANK.
YANK is an inverse ETF, which means the unit price increases as thew AUD/USD trades lower.
YANK has a 2.5% weighting, which means a 1% move in the AUD/USD translates to a 2.5% move in the unit price. The unit price is currently $13.50, we calculate that when the AUD/USD falls back to .7300, the unit price of YANK will be over $16.00.
