When a Stock Retains its Value, But is Beaten down by the General Market
As has been said so often, the best way to make money in the stock market is to look for bargains. Stocks that have fallen with the tide, but retain all of their value. It like Black Friday when the retail stores put specials on and if you need something, you buy it on Black Friday because a few days later,, it will cost a lot more. To quote Warren Buffett, ““Long ago, Ben Graham taught me that ‘Price is what you pay; value is what you get.’ Whether we’re talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.””
Perhaps another way to look at it, is another quote “Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.”
INE is currently on sale, and falls into the category of a dependable long life well managed company, that pays a good dividend, and the price of its stock is currently depressed. When there is a bargain in the stock market, it is the best time to make money.

The Stock Price – A Technical Perspective
When you buy or sell a stock, it is essential to know where the stock has been (price wise) and what the support and resistance points are. This stock has most interesting positive features.
It came out in 2008, just before every stock got crushed by the global market meltdown. It started at $11, jumped to $14, and then got crushed falling to a low of $2.75 by the start of 2009, where it stayed during the March 2009 2nd global market meltdown. From there it gradually rose until it hit resistance in April 2010 and its rise stalled at $9.00 where it stayed until September 2010, when it broke through that resistance. Interestingly, our recommendation is to buy it at exactly where this resistance occurred as that is now the support point.
After breaking through this resistance level in September 2010, the stock slowly climbed back to $11, and then in June 2013, the stock again plummeted – plunging down right through that $9.00 support level. The stock then tried but failed again to rise through the resistance at $9.00 until finally in October 2013 (this month) it finally broke through that $9.00 resistance level.
The stock is now poised to move up having broken through the $9.00 resistance level. It will likely climb back through the $11.00 mark for a $3.00 gain plus the 6 1/2% dividend along the way, for a very nice Return on Investment.
It is a classic stock chart technical pattern that is usually quite accurate.
