Sell Zynga Inc $ZNGA, Buy King Digital Entertainment PLC $KING?


Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) and King Digital Entertainment (NYSE:KING) have been ships passing in the night through most of their publicly traded lives, and that didn't exactly change when Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of the two mobile gaming giants last week.
Analyst Dean Prissman started coverage of Sugar Crush Saga publisher King with a bullish "overweight" rating and an $18 price target. It's a call that represents 22% in upside for the stock from where it was when the Morgan Stanley note was published. Prissman is impressed by King's ability to cross-promote its games across its growing network of more than 350 million players, something that is validated by checking the charts of the highest grossing games.  (more)

With all of the base metals breaking down, with silver breaking down, with platinum and palladium breaking down, I suppose it was just a matter of time before gold finally gave up the ghost and followed them lower.

Take a look at the 1-year chart of Energen (NYSE: EGN) with the added notations:
EGN
EGN has mostly trended higher since its October/December low. However, from January through July the stock has also created an important level of support at $60 (green). Expectations would be for a rally from here, but a break of the $60 would most likely mean a fall to the next level of support at $55 (red).

The Tale of the Tape: EGN has an important level of support at $60. A trader could enter a long position at $60 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead with the expectation of a fall down to $55.
