Update on Stock in Vanguard of Drive to Phase Out Antibiotics in Animal Feed
Contributed Opinion

Technical analyst Clive Maund provides an update on a company whose product is replacing antibiotics for growth promotion in animal feed.

You may recall that we looked at this stock, Avivagen Inc. (VIV:TSX.V), almost a month ago, which is in the vanguard of the drive to phase out antibiotics in animal feed. Since that time, although the price has moved little, the stock has continued to strengthen, and most importantly, it has been impervious to the crashing stock market, which doesn't seem to have affected it at all.

The purpose of this update is to draw your attention to this and also to the fact that it appears to be getting ready to break out to the upside, which could happen at any time now. On the 6-month chart below we can see that it is at the point of breaking out above the downtrend line shown, and more importantly from the large bullish Falling Wedge that may readily be seen on the 3-month chart, which was included in the original report on it posted on September 30th. On the chart below we can see heavy buying showing up again about a week ago, which has driven both volume indicators higher again—this is very bullish volume action and suggests that breakout is drawing near.

We therefore stay long, and it is rated an immediate strong buy here.
