HeffX-LTN overall technical outlook for RACE is Neutral to Bearish, there is Key resistance 167.46 and support is NIL, 1 of my Key indicators the RSI has turned Bullish as the stock is very oversold in here, our technical outlook is Neutral to Bearish in here.
Ferrari finished at 129.32, or -12.96 Friday in NY, and shares were raised to Buy from Hold at HSBC.
Ferrari will continue to create value in the long term. Ferrari is a quality 1st long term luxury products investment, and I have called it at it at 200+/share long term, adjusting it to 200/share short term and siding with BAML to 230 long term for now.
Have a healthy day
