Daily Intraday Chart



BOK Booker just rising off the baseline of an uptrend channel with 40p minimum here on the cards and fairly quickish. Secondary indicators are also showing the stock ripe for a buy at the moment.



Fundies also support the Buy case all and every broker with a Buy reco on the stock and the company trades on a forard P/E of just over 12 to 2010 and beyond.

You cant get a much better SET UP than that on a stock both fundies and TA in cink with each other............ Nice.

Getting close to my 145p

Yes SK that would be a good entry point! Seems to enjoy support at 150 though. Could go either way for a few days.
