Hot stocks for Thursday - Curis , JDS Uniphase and Cliffs Natural Resources

( click to enlarge )

The appetite for Curis shares have been increased over the recent weeks and probably will increase even more after yesterday presentation. The rumours behind a possible takeover by Roche or any other still also in place and the likelihood of this happening are high given the good results of the latest products developed. I got to my block of memory and went to investigate the latest companies bought by Roche. In 2007 there was a small cap biotech quoted at 0.15 that was bought by Roche by 0.60, exactly few days after the last presentation of the development of its products. Coincidence or not, we are experiencing something very similar. Nevertheless, Curis still has good cash in hands to continue its development work and has no debt, something very healthy for today's enterprises in this sector. I mentioned it here in recent weeks, after having detected a high flow of money into action. The recent healthy pull-back has been a good opportunity for investors who have lost the last rally. From a technical standpoint, the stock looks to have found a bottom the past few days. If the stock can break Wednesday’s high of $2.42, we should see another strong upside move. CRIS can be a hard stock to trade, in that it will move very quickly. Watch it closely and do not chase if you miss the entry price.

Market Capitalization: 155.47M
Average daily volume (3-month): 327,000 Shares
Closing Stock Price: $2.34
Debt: $0
Cash: $26.84M

CLF - The technical daily chart shows a Bull Flag formation that should resolve itself to the upside in a thrust to new highs above 34.45. Generally, bull-flag patterns are continuation patterns that indicate a consolidation before a move upwards. Definitely keep this one on your watchlists.

JDSU tried to break down on Wednesday, but the with a 3.19% jump to $7.11. There are buyers and if the market can turn around the stock should move as well. The daily technical indicators are reversing up and are advocating for a technical rebound. Resistance stays at $7.90. There is good upside in this trade, so keep watching JDSU for the next few days.

Stock Picks for Wednesday - Ambac Financial Group, Rambus and Research In Motion Limited

( click to enlarge )

ABK is in a good medium-term uptrend. The price has bounced off the low of 0.73 touched in late July. The price can head towards the 1.89-1.98 zone. If this zone is surpassed, getting to 2.18 would be a possibility. Add to your position once there is a close above 1.89. On the contrary, the key support for the stock is at $1.71. Closing below this levels are bearish for the stock as it could pullback to retest $1.56.

( click to enlarge )

In the short term, Rambus is still trading within an uptrend channel. The stock is sitting exactly on its 5 day-moving average at $17.17. Resistance is seen at $17.82 and $17.96. The key support for the stock is at $16.65. Closing below this levels are bearish for the stock as it could pullback to retest $15.68. So far the technical daily chart is still showing buy signal with stock trading above the major 5moving averages. Uptrend still relatively intact. The stock ended the day mixed but with a positive bias. I'm still bullish on the stock.

( click to enlarge )

RIMM had a strong bounce off the 66.56 level accompanied by a nice pickup in volume. Hopefully that trend continues. The price may rise to the 70-71.50 range in the short-term.

Stock Picks for Tuesday - American International Group, Research In Motion Limited and Citigroup Inc.

( click to enlarge )

C - The stock is now set up nicely in a base for a potential breakout. The short-term trend remains bullish and the stock appears to be headed towards the target zone at $5. The technical chart shows the stock is currently in the rally as K line is rising on top of D line, indicate buy signal. Shareholders may remain invested with a stop- loss at $4.06.

( click to enlarge )

It looks like there is just limited downside risk in the stock at current levels. RIMM is short-term oversold technically, and due for a corrective bounce soon. The stock has a strong support at $65.68.

( click to enlarge )

AIG traded in a range on Monday, but this stock wants to make an upside move. I really like the daily chart and expect to see a move very soon. Resistance stays at $50,23, which was last Monday’s high. Once AIG breaks resistance, it should run to $60. The technical indicators are still in favor of the uptrend continuation.

Stock Picks for next week - Bank of America Corporation , Curis, Inc. and Alcoa


( click to enlarge )

CRIS has been in the process of consolidating here for an another big up move. The stock has weathered the recent pullback without too much chart damage. It is actually pretty close to all time highs. The outlook remains bullish and the stock appears on course to move to new highs. Long positions may be considered on weakness, with a stop-loss at 2.17. The Technical chart shows positive sign as the stock has been above 200-day moving average since mid April and has formed golden cross earlier May. Honestly speaking, CRIS is one of my favourite stocks in the biotechnology sector. Keep an eye on it !!!!

( click to enlarge )

The technical daily chart is not all that impressive, but it does show that Alcoa broke out of a well defined channel and that it has started to print higher highs and lows. It's quite possible that the correction will be completed for AA next week. AA will be testing 15 very soon !

( click to enlarge )

BAC broke out of a nice base on a surge in volume towards the end of July. It has pulled back recently along with the general markets and is now looking for a bottom. The selling pressure wasn't much and the volume was light, which means the profit taking didn't seem to have much conviction. Here is the technical daily chart showing the breakout area and the subsequent consolidation pattern with a rising 50 day sma. I believe the optimism will be back after this healthy pullback !!!

Stock Market Ideas for Thursday - Alcoa and Bank of America

( click to enlarge )

BAC - The technical chart is showing bullish divergences in the MACD. This stock is moving in a band between 16.50 and 18 since August. BAC needs to stay above 16.30 to keep the long-term outlook positive. Hold the stock with a stop at this level. Breakout above 18.24 will take the price to 25.

( click to enlarge )

AA is currently setting up in a very nice uptrend channel since March Lows. Technically the stock looks solid trading above its 20 and 50 day moving averages. My model is long, targeting 15 area. The stock needs to stay above key level 13.79 to keep the bullish scenario intact.
Resistance Levels: $14,62, $14,92 / Support Levels: $14, $13.79

Hot casinos stocks - Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd and Wynn Resorts

The casino stocks might prove to be a good bet in the coming weeks. They are lot of good news coming to the market that put some fuel in investors mind to bet in some remarkable names, such as Wynn Resorts Ltd , Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd. and Las Vegas Sands. According to Bloomberg, Macau will limit the commissions paid to junket operators to 1.25 percent of the betting chips purchased by high rollers, which could boost casino operator’s earnings from now on. I still technically covering some of these names over the recent days with a Bullish bias and I expect that can continue till the end of year. Most of these stocks are now in Breakout mode, therefore buying on deeps seems to be the best bet. It does not matter if they have doubled since March low, the casino stocks can move much higher from here. The trend is your friend until it ends.

( click to enlarge )

MPEL had a very bullish move today breaking several resistance lines with large volume. The stock broke out of a range, as the stock set new highs for 2009. This could be the start of a bigger move, which his why I'm watching the stock on Friday. Today’s high of $8.06 is resistance for the next upside move. The technical daily chart shows the stock is still in bull market as both 50 day and 200 day moving average are going up with MACD still above 0.

( click to enlarge )

The outlook remains bullish and the stock appears on course to move to the target zone of the 79-80 range. A break above 73.80 would confirm the possibility of a move up to the target price of 80. On the other hand, a decline below Rs 65.30 would blunt such a possibility. The technical daily chart shows the stock is in a strong bull market with 50 day moving average on top over 200 day moving average and MACD is above signal line.

Stock Market Ideas for Tuesday - Citigroup and Curis, Inc.

( click to enlarge )

Is the stock forming a bull flag? C has decline since its high of 5.42 on 28/8. It has found a channel down possibly forming a bull flag with lower highs and higher lows. Declining volume indicates an absence of concerted selling pressure. The price can head towards the 4.52-4.55 zone. If this zone is surpassed, getting to 4.70 would be a possibility. Add to your position once there is a close above 4.55.

( click to enlarge )

As you can see on the daily chart, CRIS has been under strong accumulation. The movement of the stock last week is promising and the short-term up trend can continue to take the stock higher. CRIS is now set up nicely in a base for a potential breakout, so keep an eye for a possible breakout over $2.54. For those planning to enter, a good entry point would be from 2.35-2.45 as long as it does not go below 2.30.

Hot Stocks to Watch next week - American Oriental Bioengineering Inc. , Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd. and Juniper Networks

( click to enlarge )

I have been following this stock for a while and bought some after the major resistance level around 6.60 was broken. Honestly, MPEL looks like it could go to $10 even higher by the end of year. Nice growth, good expansion and management team. I believe the current uptrend is sustainable and I do expect that we will have a quick upward movement. According to the latest company report the company held approximately US$660 million of cash at the end of the second quarter, and they expect to have approximately US$176 million of capital expenditures at City of Dreams in the current quarter. The Grand Hyatt Macau is on track to open, which should be a significant driver of gaming revenue and market share to MPEL. Overall, the flux of news have been in favor of Bulls and the volume of shares trading hit the highest level of the recent months, for that reason I prefer to keep with my long position on stock respecting the breakout mode. After a strong runup since its September bottom (5.73) , MPEL looks poised to rally again from this small pullback. Present technical indicators are in favor of Bulls.

( click to enlarge )

JNPR has broken out today and made a new 52 week high during regular session, however shares fell below of their highs by the end of the day, to finish at $27.62. This is what strong stocks generally do in a rebound : break resistance, hold the breakout and continue higher. A move towards $28 can be expected as long as $27 holds. I would like to see at least a move above $28.80 before betting on a pull back. The technical daily chart shows a very strong upward momentum as the stock is above the 50 day moving average with both 200 day and 50 day moving average going up. In addition RSI and MACD also show very bullish signs.

( click to enlarge )

AOB has held support at the 5.35 level ( 50-day moving average ) and is displaying a screaming buy divergence on the upside. Momentum has hit new highs. Expect an initial run up to $5.67 with a break higher moving to the 5.95/6 zone. From a pure technical standpoint this chart tells you that the place to be in AOB is on the long side, with Stochastics and MACD indicators, both rising.

Stock Market Ideas for Friday - Melco Crown Entertainment and Citigroup

( click to enlarge )

The stock regained some strength again. On daiy chart we can see that after breakdown to the downside of the former bullish channel support line, the stock is now push to the upside and testing the same line which now has become a resistance. The bias is bullish in nearest term testing 4.52 but remains unclear in medium term. The stock is above 50 day and 200 day moving average and if the upward trend can continue for another week and 50 day moving average can cross on top over 200 day moving average than the stock will be ready for a big rally.

( click to enlarge )

MPEL has had a bearish move recently. After breaking out to new highs, it has started to retest the previous resistance line, which is now the support. If the support holds, we may see a move back up to 7.73. The recent increase in trading volume suggests that this stock has caught the attention of some traders. The bias is bearish in nearest term testing 7 support area but remains bullish in medium term. On the technical side, the MACD indicator is going up showing a positive swing. In addition, the stock still trading above 50 day and 200 day moving average, also a bullish sign.

US hot stocks for tomorrow - EarthLink, Inc. and Juniper Networks, Inc.

( click to enlarge )

ELNK had a strong day and broke through its resistance line. The volume confirmed the breakout, as it was greater than average. With technical chart showing strength as MACD is above signal and K line above D line , we could see the stock keep going up. Next resistance is at $9.52.

( click to enlarge )

JNPR broke through resistance at $27.01 accompanied with volume. We should be able to see some decent upside movement for the bulls here. This stock should run to at least $28.17 ( Oblique Major resistance ). On the technical side, the chart looks very good here and I expect a continuation of the upward movement.

Stock Market Ideas for Wednesday - JDS Uniphase Corporation and Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd

( click to enlarge )

The stock reversed direction at 7.73 on Tuesday after making a new 52 week high. A strong trend would not be in place unless the stock closes above this level. Long-term investors who have entered at lower levels may take partial profits and have a stop-loss at $7 for the rest. Shareholders who prefer higher risks may hold with a stop-loss at $6.6. Fresh exposures may be considered on price weakness. A close above $7.73 may be used to enhance exposures. Stay tuned on MPEL.

( click to enlarge )

There appears to be marginal downside risk on JDSU from prevailing levels. The near-term trend is bullish and a move to the 8.30-8.40 range appears likely. The overall trend appears really positive.

Hot stocks for Tuesday - General Electric Company and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

( click to enlarge )

GE has made an awesome move on Monday breaking out of a major resistance line with volume backed confirmation. I went long at 15.04 as its quite possible we should see a short term move near $16/share. The technical chart shows bullish sign with K line on top of D line and MACD on top of signal line. The breakout from the resistance line is just a confirmation of the recent upward move.

( click to enlarge )

JPM breakout !!! The triangle represents a consolidation or rest after an advance. The breakout signals a continuation of the prior advance. As long as $43 holds, this breakout is in great shape. A move below $43 would question the breakout and further weakness below $41.60 would be outright bearish.

US stocks to watch next week : Yahoo , Rambus and Melco Crown Entertainment

( click to enlarge )

The recent reversal in Rambus could be a buy signal. RMBS traded down on Friday, but not enough to make me stop watching. The volume was weak compared with recent sessions when prices rose, which means traders are not betting on the downside. I think the stock is still in a consolidation range, waiting to make a big move. This stock is going to have a big move and it should be to the upside.

A quick look at the technical chart :

1) Back above the 5 and 50 day average.
2) Volume increases on support levels (good sign)
3) RSI back above 50 level.
4) Money Flow-Index still climbing
5) The +DI crossed up through the -DI his week - Bullish.
6) 20 day moving average crossed the 50 day moving average to the upside.
7) 50 day moving average crossed the 200 day moving average to the upside.
8) Bullish divergence: price is decreasing, whereas MACD lines are going up.
9) Call Options Still going Strong.
10) Trend is still up.

I hope I am right ........

( click to enlarge )

The stock is losing momentum on upside. At this stage MPEL is too extended for additional positions, and is now in the overbought zone. I really like the chart but at this level I would wait for a pull back before putting any cash to work. That support you see on the chart corresponds to the oblique major support. Warning : a break below could send MPEL to the 6.4 to 6.3 $ levels.

( click to enlarge )

Yahoo has now a Bullish looking stock chart, price broke out from the horizontal resistance mark around $15.17 per share on heavy volume. In the short-term, I expect the current reversal in trend to continue. The technical daily chart shows the stock is now in a bull market as MACD is on top of signal line and K line is on top of D line, both indicating buy. In addition, the stock is on top of 50 day and 200 day moving average showing the stock is in bull market. Trend is up. Target is $16.25.

Stock Market Ideas for Friday - Juniper Networks and Level 3 Communications

( click to enlarge )

LVLT made a strong upside reversal today. The technical daily chart shows this is just the beginning of the rally as K line is now on top of D line. Although the stock is still weak as MACD is below 0 and the stock is below 50 day moving average, if LVLT can go up a few more days it will be back to bull market. There could be good upside in LVLT so watch the stock closely on Friday.

( click to enlarge )

JNPR moved with the tech rally on Thursday, as the stock closed up $.41 for the day. I'm watching JNPR on Friday, waiting for the stock to break July’s high of $26.97. Once the stock breaks through this high, we should see a strong upside move. This trade could have big upside, but it will be very volatile. JNPR will move quickly, so be ready for this move.

Stock Market Ideas for Thursday - Melco Crown Entertainment and Wynn Resorts

( click to enlarge )

MPEL - Today, the stock broke out on huge volume of over 9 Million shares. The technical daily chart shows a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas. The MACD indicator is above its signal line and is indicating further strength. In addition, the RSI indicator is moving up above 50 and the +DI is greater than the -DI by a great margin, indicating a Bullish trend. Let's see if tomorrow the stock will confirm the breakout.

( click to enlarge )

WYNN is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode. The technical indicators are looking better for the stock with MACD indicator above its sell signal line, K line on top of D line and RSI indicator moving up from the 50 level. A close above 61.20 will impart bullishness and will help the stock move to the 69-70 band. For the long term the stock should still continue to go up.

Hot Stocks to Watch - JDS Uniphase Corporation , Rambus and JA Solar Holdings Co

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

As I mentioned on Twitter last Friday, I keep holding my long position in Rambus waiting for something BIG. There are lot of strange things currently happening that many of us don’t know, but it’s a fact that people still believe that a huge deal between Samsung and Rambus may be in place. I’m one of the believers too. Well, looking now at the technical chart the stock is in a rally as K line is rising on top of D line as the price is back above 50 day moving average. Fresh exposures may be considered on price weakness, with a stop-loss at 16.70. Further rally is now in favor and target would be 19.94. Key support is now at 16,70, only fall below could take price back towards 16.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

JDSU has made an awesome move on Tuesday breaking out of a small resistance line. The technical chart shows bullish sign with K line on top of D line and MACD on top of signal line. Resistance is now $7,41, which was today’s high.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

In line with my anticipation, the stock confirmed today the reversal when it broke up above the $3.61 level. The stock price is now riding on an upward movement. Technically, my model remains long, targeting 4.32 ( 50 dma ). Immediate support is seen at 4 area. CCI heading up towards -100 line on daily chart. JASO can be a good trading stock, so watch it closely on Tuesday.

Stock Market Ideas for next week - Yahoo , JA Solar Holdings and Trinity Industries

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

TRN was very strong on Friday as the stock closed up $0.35 with a nice volume. The stock is back at the top of its range and could make a breakout move soon. Resistance is $16.03, which is the high of this range. I'm buyer of TRN once it breaks through this high on a close basis. Keep TRN on your screen throughout the day on Monday.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

The short bullish momentum of YHOO continued today. The stock topped at$14.64 and closed at $14.50, up 0.22 cents (+1.54%) on volume of 17M. My model remains long, targeting 15.22 ( 50 dma ). Immediate support is seen at 14.24 area. CCI heading up towards -100 line on daily chart. YHOO can be a good trading stock, so watch it closely on Monday.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

JASO has recovered nicely and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $3.61. Technical indicators are becoming more favorable with MACD and Stochastics starting to turn up. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch JASO closely next week.

Stock Market Ideas for Friday - Juniper Networks and Yingli Green Energy Hold

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

Technical indicators are looking better for YGE. The stock has been on a rise recently as K line is on top of D line indicating a buy signal. MACD suggesting that YGE downtrend could be coming to an end. A breakout above the resistance line ( 20-day moving average ) on the daily chart would confirm this. It does not necessarily mean that the stock trend would change from down to Up but it could be the start of a base building period. Remain invested with a stop loss at $10.75.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

JNPR crossed its 5-day moving average and closed up $0.38 at $23.41. The momentum indicators are attempting to turn up from oversold levels. The technical daily chart above shows new rally has just begun as K line has just crossed on top over D line. In addition low ROC at oversold level should also attracts more buyers. However some weakness remains as stock is trading below the 50-day moving average. JNPR needs to close above $23.50 on a daily basis in order to mitigate the negative near term view.

Stock Market Ideas for Thursday - JA Solar Holdings Co. and Sirius XM Radio Inc.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

JASO - Wednesday, JASO bounced back the last part of the day, as the stock closed up $0.08 on the day. At this stage the stock is oversold and could bounce. Despite weak signal from MACD in the technical daily chart as MACD and signal line are below 0, the technical indicator KD line is showing strength where K line has just rose on top of D line indicating buy. I'm using the 200-day moving average at $3.60 as a reversal resistance level for this move. I notice also a bullish divergence formed on the daily chart supporting a bounce from these levels.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

SIRI is looking pretty bearish after the top and then a failed consolidation. Several indicators point towards a substantial short-term change. Looking at the daily chart the stock broke down today, reversing a two-month uptrend. In addition, MACD fast line crossed below slow line, another bearish signal for stock in short term. First support is at $0.583 with stronger support down at $0.55. A clear break and close below these levels would indicate further down moves in the stock, as new bearish formations would get confirmed.
