Stock Picks for Tuesday 03 August
( click to enlarge )Shares of Virgin Media has made a new 52 week high on Monday closing at $22.15. The stock is overbought and may need to work this condition before heading higher, however history has shown that stocks can run overbought for quite some time with a bullish MACD. Keep an eye on VMED tomorrow.
( click to enlarge )Shares of Las Vegas Sands recorded a new 52 week high. Short-term outlook for the stock is bullish. Remain invested with a stop-loss at $27.20. All technical indicators still point to a bull market. The technical chart above shows LVS is in a very strong upward momentum as both 50 day and 200 day moving averages are going up along with the stock. MACD and KD also shows the stock is currently in a bull market. For now the trend is still up.
( click to enlarge )GE has had a hard time with resistance here but may be ready to move higher. The level which the stock may have trouble moving above is currently at $16.58. It would need to break above that level to run to $18. The technical chart shows the stock is rising as K line is on top over D line showing buy signal. However unless the stock can break above this level, don't expect too much going from the stock.
( click to enlarge )HEB - I like the stock as long as it remains above $.50. Further strength above $.55 ( 50 dma ) opens the door to $.65. Put her on your radar.
CTIC - Cell Therapeutics, Inc. - As long as the stock holds above the $.40 support level the intermediate-term picture should remain positive. Fresh exposures may be considered on a move past $.50.
SIRI - Sirius XM Radio Inc. -Chart looks bullish. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $1.10
BAC - Bank of America Corporation - Watching for a close above $14.65
MOT- Motorola - Watching for a close above $7.69
STEM - StemCells, Inc. - Watching for a close above $.959
BANR - Banner Corporation - Watching for a close above $2.5
RMBS - Rambus - The stock was very weak today but there was buying activity near the close. I will buy only on a break above $19.73 ( 50 MA ).
AAPL - Apple - Watching for a close above $265.99
NVDA - NVIDIA - From a technical perspective, the stock is looking weak. RSI is trending lower and momentum is bearish.
