Stock: Seek Ltd (SEK ASX)
Technical View
From the 2009 lows around $2.00, shares in Seek are currently trading at 10 times that value. Should you come across anyone who has held the stock over this period, there’s a fair chance they have a permanent smile embedded on their face and deservedly so. Not only have they enjoyed holding a 10 bagger in terms of capital growth, they have also been repaid $2.50 per share in dividends for that initial $2.00 outlay, cementing the trade as a ‘free carry’ over time. Taking a ‘zoomed out’ look at the monthly chart that captures the past decade, we can see the run-up off the 2009 lows followed the textbook pattern of previous resistance becoming new support at both the $8.55 & $11.40 levels. Shifting our focus to the past 5 years, we can see the significance of the key support zone between $16.20 & $18.00 which is defined by the sheer amount of price congestion that has occurred between these levels. In late 2017, price finally broke to a new high on the upside, taking out the upper band of the key support zone at $18.00 and has since held firmly above.

The Baron’s Brief – Official Summary
The Bulls are firmly in control of Seek. The $18.00 level at the top of the key support zone is the line in the sand, with any retracement back towards it seen as an opportunity to buy (get long) in line with the prevailing uptrend. The Baron’s bullish bias will remain in play all the while that price can hold above the low of the key support zone at $16.20. A significant break & close below $16.20 would be cause to re-assess.
