Written by Barry Dumas | 21 Aug 2018

BHP Billiton (BIL) has released solid results for the period ending the 30th of June 2018. With an increase in profits over the period to a record dividend the stock is looking good for a buy at current levels. Take note that even though we saw an increase in profits the Full year earnings for 2018 are still flat from the previous financial year and that could be what sparked the sell off at the open Tuesday morning.

In this note I detail the trade summary and provide the technical chart. Check it out.
