Warning: FAD has an average volume of 7122 traded shares per day. This is quite low and it might be dangerous to invest in illiquid stocks.
Both the short term and long term trends are positive. This is a very positive sign.
FAD is currently trading near its 52 week high, which is a good sign. The S&P500 Index however is also trading near new highs, which makes the performance in line with the market.
In the last month FAD has a been trading in the 139.43 - 148.03 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the high of this range.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that FAD is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 76% of all stocks. However, this overall good ranking is mostly due to the recent strong move.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
Although FAD has an excellent technical rating, it does not offer a high quality setup at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
