While a more cautious outlook is appropriate, as long as $77 holds (the September lows) we are constructive and would be buyers on a pullback. A move below $77 would start to get very concerning, and would leave $75 and the 200-day MA as last-ditch support. · Market Dynamics Still Cons...

Key Points Tokyo Ohka Kogyo’s (TOK’s) FY17 guidance is looking conservative after a strong Q1 result, announced after trading on August 3rd.
