The stock skyrocketed Friday after the company released the following news: GFI Group Inc reported a slightly better-than-expected quarterly profit, as the inter-dealer broker earned more from its brokerage segment. Net profit for the first quarter was $13.4 million, or 11 cents a share, compared with net income of $11.6 million, or 10 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Excluding items, the company earned 12 cents a share for the fourth quarter. Analysts were expecting earnings of 11 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Total revenue for the quarter rose 2 percent to $220.8 million, mostly in-line analysts' view. Brokerage revenue, the largest contributor to total revenue, rose 3 percent to $204.1 million. Shares of the company closed at $6.90 Friday on Nasdaq, gaining more than 10%. The technical chart shows a bullish bias. GFIG broke out a short term consolidation pattern on huge volume of over 2.6 Million shares, indicating some bullish behavior and we could possibly see some continued upside movement. Target price for the pattern is at $7.92. MACD and KD show buy signal as MACD is above signal line and %K line is on top of %D line. In addition, GFIG is now 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.

It is been quite a good run for SIRI since December. This stock more than doubled in about 6 months from $0.5 in December to > $1 in April. It is presently in a short-term uptrend with support at 1.142. The resistance level is $1.22, which was Thursday's high of the day. If SIRI can break through with volume, we could see the stock run up to $1.28, which is another small resistance level. Keep watching SIRI and look for an increase in volume if the stock breaks out.

TRN - The technical daily chart shows a bearish cross has formed, pointing to a future downward correction in price. I am expecting a pull back to test the key level of $24.10

HNSN broke resistance on Friday, but was not able to make the expected move. The stock needs to break Friday’s high of $2.75 to expect a strong rally at this point.
