Technical Stock Alert;

BRDB (RM2.56) - the stock has retraced back significantly from its year high of RM2.76 after its major shareholder, Ambang Sehati indicated it was looking at a privatization @ RM2.90/share and RM1.80/warrant. The current levels are back to pre announcement levels and RSI has since dipped by almost half, from a high of 80. These levels represent an attractive entry for the possible M&A play with a 13% upside for the mother shares and 24% for its warrants which trades at RM1.45 with a strike price of RM1.10 and expires on Sept 29. Trading Buy with a stop loss of RM2.50 which could indicate the deal is off.

YTLCORP (RM1.86) - stock is moving back towards the RM1.80 levels which represent a good accumulation levels after its recent rally to RM1.96 on increased MSCI weighting. The story of implementing the High Speed Rail project linking KL-Spore has once again resurfaced with YTLC a leading contender for its infra works. Besides this, its 51.7%subsdiary YTL Power could also be back in the limelight for the renewal of its PPA which expires in Sept 2015. With 1MDB recently acquiring Genting Sanyen @ EV/MW of RM4.7m, we do not discount the possibility of a similar deal for the group. Buy on weakness.
