ASX:SEK

SEEK Limited (ASX:SEK) hit our profit target of $15.90 this

recommended to buy SEK on 17 December 2015 and this position

is part of our Active Investor's Portfolio.

The recommendation had an initial outlook of 3-6 months and even

appropriate to sell and close this position. The total gain on this

trade is 10%.

SEEK released a strong earnings result on 25th February in line

with our expectations. However the stock has been volatile over the

past 12 months, experiencing swings of ~30% in a relatively short

time. We will keep SEK on our watchlist.
