Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - POT ,MOS, STP, ESLR
ESLR was one of the stronger stocks today. Evergreen Solar rises sharply on Thursday as the solar panel maker announced $1 billion in contracts after a challenging start-up of its new factory north of Boston.The news brought out bullish players in the options market, who bought June call options at a $12.50 strike price (that's out of the money), betting that the stock will continue to rise. Analysts expect Evergreen Solar to report about $122 million in revenue this year, $394 million in 2009 and $685 million in 2010, according to a survey of FactSet Research. The stock attempted a breakout today but pulled back with the markets in the afternoon. But looking closely at the volume on today session, I suspect that these contracts attracted a large number of investors, more than 47 million of shares were traded. The technical chart is showing that the stock is on a bounce back rally after it lost more than 50% of it value. RSI is turning up and is now at 60 level. Then the MACD indicator is rising above 0 also indicating a buy, and KD line still show the stock is on the positive swing. In my opinion, this stock has been undervalued relative to the sector, and I believe we're going to see a lot more of these large contracts globally for ESLR.

STP - Suntech Power Holdings Co Ltd reported better then expected earnings, but failed to break its at $50.42 ( 200 day-moving average ). This would be a good opportunity to add position. A potential re-entry would be on take-out of high at $50. It looks well supported at $42.50 - the last swing target, which was taken out decisively early on Apr 08 and now serves as the support. The resistance now is at $51.75 which if taken out could lead to more gains. We need to see what happen to project the next swing target. Let's keep an eye on her.
MOS has more resistance above then support below. I am watching to see if it breaks lower here ( 50-day moving average ) or if it will attempt to make a push to the $132 area again.
POT - The stock is holding above the 20-day moving average at $196.48. Short-term investors can hold the stock as long as it trades above this support. Any close below $196 would indicate that this current rally may be near the end.
