I’ve been taking a look at the Stocks that make up the New Zealand Stock Market (NZSE), and added some to my Watch List that I think are exhibiting Darvas Box behaviour – or are at least worth keeping an eye on.

Take a look for yourself. Let me know if you think I have missed any out.

Symbols refer in Yahoo Finance format.
