"UPDATE: As of 1st June 2011 I will just name my picks with a little company information. Background technical analysis for each stock will not be provided anymore. This is because writing detailed technical analysis is very time consuming which my busy schedule does not allow. 

Instead I will like to promote discussions in the comments section and would like to listen to your take on the recommended picks.

However, if you still want the background analysis feel free to ask in the comments section or through email. "

Faizan's take

ABV currently at $31.54 is demonstrating very good technicals and can give a decent profit in the upcoming months. Suggested price target is $33.89 (7.5% increase).
