Still Patient With KRO

About one month ago I expected KRO to continue its upward momentum and surpass the near term overhead resistance of 25.55, that event did not come to fruition.
The stock price retrieved and formed a small base at 22 before recovering and, in the past four trading sessions, it has crossed and maintained above the 50 day moving average of 23.54
Again, I look for this stock to test and breach the resistance level.  Trading this morning at 24.22, KRO shows some signs of resilience.

What's Next for KRO ?

Since November 6, 2011 we have seen KRO go from 22.67 to 24.84 (a 9.5% gain, not including dividends, in less than five months). The stock is now trading above the 50 and 200 day moving averages, the chart shows a nice base and slow upward momentum.

Within the next two weeks, I'd like to see the closing price to be above 25.55 which is the next resistance level, thus climbing to new eight month highs.

Very heavy short positions exist countered by long term insider buying. I am taking the insider's view and staying long on this stock.

Update on KRO

Waiting to see if KRO stock price crosses above the 200 day moving average (at about 23.68). If this materializes within the next five trading days, we should see wether or not this stock has legs and experience a sizeable pop. Trading today at 23.16

KRO , a Stock to be Considered

Consistent insider buying over the past three months, coupled with an upside-down head-and-shoulders chart pattern, Kronos Worldwide, Inc. (KRO) has caught my eye.

Kronos Worldwide, Inc. engages in the production and marketing of titanium dioxide pigments primarily in North America and Europe.

Good trading volume, low P/E and adequate yield make this stock a fair prospect. It may be a bit early in the cycle but I am willing to inch into this opportunity, believing that a short term support level exists at 19.50 (closing on Friday at 22.67).
