Stock Picks for Thursday December 2, 2010

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) had a spectacular day after announcing Jan. 4 date for company to split in two. Motorola investors will get 1 share of Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc., for every 8 shares they now own, the company said yesterday. Immediately afterward, it will swap 7 old shares of Motorola for 1 new share in the remaining company, boosting the stock’s value by a proportional amount to lift its marketability. The stock hit a high of 8.20 and ended at 8.01 for an end of day of 4.5% !!! The day’s high has clearly demonstrated that the potential for the stock is well above its current value. From a technical perspective, as long as the stock holds above the $7.70 support level the intermediate-term picture should remain positive. It seems that after today's trading, the short-term trend is bullish and a move to the 8.50-8.75 range appears likely.

For almost a month, the technical indicator OBV has been higher, and higher highs but the price action has been going sideways, that is called a bullish divergence. Because this kind of a "bullish divergence" generally ends up pushing a stock into a sharp rally, potentially unlocking piles of money in the process. So a BIG rally is now a definite possibility. Looking at the technical chart above, Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) is forming a symmetrical triangle with support at 4.66. I am expecting a breakout at 4.85. Aside from the triangle, EK is also forming a rounding bottom. A good breakout volume would be 6M-8M shares traded. Keep your eye on Eastman Kodak Company.

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) broke through resistance and was able to sustain this move. The stock hit a high of $4.31, which is resistance for Thursday’s move. If the stock can break through resistance, we should see a strong follow through move. Watch the stock closely tomorrow.

GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM) - The near-term trend is bearish and the stock faces a strong resistance at $1.50. A close above this range is a pre-requisite for the reversal of the bearish trend. The daily Oscillators and MACD are turning bullish and the price is now above the 5-MA, so the Bears have to be cautions because there is a high short interest in the stock. Keep an eye on GIGM for Thursday.
