An Intelligent car

This car has laser sensors that act as "eyes" linked to an intelligent computer brain controlling its movements and has designed to cope with frenetic inner-city driving.

The laser-scanner eyes feed the electronic data of what they "see" around them into an on-board "black-box" computer. This is linked to satellite navigation software and maps out a picture of the car's surroundings in a 200 yard radius - including road conditions, buildings, other vehicles and pedestrians. Scanning the road ahead and behind, it can brake, accelerate, change gear and steer itself around rush hour traffic and obstacles, even reversing to get out of a tight spot.

Shares of RIMM was down 1.54% or 2.29$ to 146.02 today, however in after hours stock drop more than 6% after reported a sharply higher fourth-quarter profit that met expectations, as the company added about a million subscribers and forecast more growth for the upcoming quarter. RIM said it earned $187.9 million, or 99 cents a share, in the three months ended March 3. That was up from a profit of $18.4 million, or 10 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier. In the daily chart we start to see some weakness in the stock with MACD+RSI starts to moving down, however this situation must be confirmed in the next sessions, because uptrend is still in place. Following the trading in after-hours stock probably it will open tomorrow in GAP down, and I see some support at 137$ ( 50 dma ). RIMM will be one of the hot stocks tomorrow.

Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology (TMD) has been concentrating its efforts towards the development of LTPS technology and OLED technology.

DNDN nice chart , VG ugly chart

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

CREE - let's see if it will break above 17.75$.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

DNDN gapped up at the open to 20.00 with heavy volume and quickly ran through 21 and reached more than 24 during the session closing at 23.58 more +30% from the previous close. DENDREON CORP is one of the hottest stocks in the market right now, it has one of the nicest charts in the Nasdaq.

On the other hand, another bad day for Vonage stock down nearly after a judge said it could not add new customers due to a finding that it infringed Verizon Communications patents for making phone calls over the Internet. Vonage stock has steadily lost its value since its initial public offering at $17 a share in May last year. Looking at this chart, hhmmm it's difficult to me right now analyse this stock due to many factors and news around the company. My honest opinion and based on the chart and recent news is : stay away from this stock, till any signal of rebound. Right now 3$ is the major support. Be careful if break down.

Trade Alert - AVT Breakout !!!!

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Shares AVT rose to new highs today closing at 38.88$. Avnet, Inc. is a company that distributes electronic components, enterprise network and computer products, software, and embedded subsystems primarily in Americas, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe. I like this chart. It is a bullish chart. AVT broke out of an important consolidation area with excellent volume and will likely have the attention of the swing-traders in the next sessions. Bullishs Indicators confirmed by on Balance Volume and Relative Strength and RSI. The stock is now in breakout mode and if this chart does what is supposed to do, it will be going higher in the sessions to come.
