Shares of 3Com Corp surged more than 10% after the company raised its first-quarter sales and profit forecasts amid gains in China. 3Com Corp expects its first quarter results to be stronger than expected due to solid performance its China operations. It expects sales in China to be 10% higher than in the fourth quarter. Company also said it expects to end Q1 with about $530 million in cash. Even with the spike today, the cash position is about 64% of 3Com’s $851 million market cap, in my honest opinion this is a good stock to hold if you're long. Currently stock has a high level of shorts (

Looking at the daily chart, 3Com Corp is coming back to life after has broken the descending triangle pattern with good volume. In addition KD show buy signal as K line has just rose above D line. Based on current trend the stock may go till $2.19 per share or the 50 day moving average before facing the next resistence. The stock now looks poised to move higher.
AAPL is finding support from broken resistance around $155. There is a lot of support between $150 and $155, but long-term direction will not be established until the triangle is broken.
GHM - Looking at the daily of Graham Corp. we can see a nice a nice upward channel pattern. The trend is clearly up, but the stock got overextended and declined on high volume yesterday. A break below its 20-day moving average would be the next bearish signal and I see support around $80. If the stock can go up again to bring K line up, then you should consider a good entry point, when stock breaks above $105 on above average volume.
