21. Recommendation
CLTrend
Colgate-Palmolive Company lies in the middle of a wide and strong rising trend in the
short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term
trend, the stock is expected to rise 13.76% during the next 3 months and, with 90%
probability hold a price between $81.56 and $89.80 at the end of this period.
CL Stock Evaluation
Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and I conclude
that the current level may hold a buying opportunity, as there is a fair chance for this
stock to perform well in the short-term.
