Brookfield Properties Corp Technical Analysis | Stock Chart |

I picked up a recent short play (put option expiring in October) with a property management company Named Brookfield. The company is listed in the US and in Canada under the stock ticker BPO.
 

Despite being oversold, this stock from a technical perspective is in deep trouble.  Breaking below all moving averages, as well as break out to the downside from a triangle correction.  I have a preliminary target of around $13.11, based on today's closing price is about a 15% decline.   It is worth noting that the MACD just crossed over the signal line on a daily and the last 4 days have had increasing volume.

A major level to watch is 15.06, which is the 200 week moving average.  If this level gets broke on high volume look for a rapid decline in the price.  As the world realizes the global economy is slowing, commercial property prices will be affected, but mostly Office rental properties as more companies go under.

This as well as other property management and construction companies have had a large run up without a sustainable pullback to assert their fair value. I would expect over the next 3-6 months many companies pulling back 10-30%.
