City Trade: Thomas Cook's sunny vista

Thomas Cook's share price looks to be going places - mainly upwards
January 19, 2011

If you're looking for a late-cycle recovery-play, Thomas Cook could well be it, says Richard Perry at Central Markets.

IC TIP: Buy

The travel giant has completed a significant basing pattern on its chart. A move above 200p has confirmed the bottoming pattern, with a 224p minimum price target, although there is little real resistance until around 240p. Momentum indicators are improving, while the moving averages point to an increasingly positive outlook. Relative strength has also broken a 20-month downtrend. With key support around the 197p neckline, place stops below 185p.
