For the full report see details below. Ed.]<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\t<font size=\"2\">The beaten up media stocks are having their time in the sun here. Much is being made of the <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">rumours<\/span> of Seven West Media ((<span class=\"scayt-misspell\">SWM<\/span>))&nbsp;going private, but the real volume is in APN News &amp; Media&nbsp;((APN)) and ten Network&nbsp;((TEN)). They look like the better trades in my opinion. Today I have also updated my thoughts on some blue chips &ndash; <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">QBE<\/span> Insurance ((<span class=\"scayt-misspell\">QBE<\/span>)), Cochlear ((<span class=\"scayt-misspell\">COH<\/span>)), and Woodside Petroleum ((<span class=\"scayt-misspell\">WPL<\/span>)). One great buying opportunity here is United Group ((<span class=\"scayt-misspell\">UGL<\/span>)). It is a fairly safe utility that has very good upside potential. Finally, I have looked at how the price of oil is trading from a longer term perspective. Have a look at my attached article from The Australian this morning. Once oil breaks out of this consolidation, it has the potential to rally up to US$40. <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n\t<br \/>\n\t<font size=\"2\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/ckfinder\/userfiles\/images\/0_9_gable.jpg\" style=\"width: 620px;height: 533px\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\tI am seeing similar accumulation in the <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">UGL<\/span> as I did with APN. After dropping heavily after its annual report in August, we have seen a lot of volume go through <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">UGL<\/span> at these lower levels with a notable increase in momentum. If <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">UGL<\/span> had further to fall, the volume would be very low as it eases up here. But strong volume at a two and a half year low suggests that large holders are accumulating the stock. <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">UGL<\/span> pays a decent 5.6% fully franked dividend, and being a utility, you would expect it to hold up well if the market undergoes a correction. When <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">UGL<\/span> breaks out of this base, we could see it trade a dollar higher quite quickly, with traders eventually looking for the gap to be filled just under $13.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<em>Content included in this article is not by association necessarily the view of <span class=\"scayt-misspell\">FNArena<\/span> (see our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/index2.cfm?type=dsp_webht\">disclaimer<\/a>).<\/em><br \/>\n\t&nbsp;<br \/>\n\t<em>Visit Michael&nbsp;Gable&#039;s website at&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgable.com.au\">www.michaelgable.com.au\/<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgable.com.au\/\">.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>After leaving Macquarie Bank&#039;s Securities Group in 2008 after many years of service, Michael has gained a highly regarded reputation in the financial services industry.
