Stocks to Watch for September 08, 2015

( click to enlarge )

Sunedison Inc (NYSE:SUNE) On a daily basis the stock price has moved out of oversold territory and the bounce is gaining momentum for a run up to $13.23, where its 20-day EMA is poised and also some previous price support levels. All technicals are pointing in a positive direction. The MACD and CMF are gaining momentum although in negative area. The stock is likely to make more gains in the coming week.

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) is forming a potential cup with handle bottom pattern (bullish formation) with a neckline at 2.74. The stock has found support on its 9-day EMA over the last couple of days and a bullish candle was added on Friday after a healthy pullback. In addition, we saw bullish options activity with buyers of the Dec 4 calls. Keep this stock on your watch list on Tuesday.

OHR Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:OHRP) after consolidating during the past week the stock closed on last Friday near the top of the range with moderate volumes gaining about 2.50%, indicating accumulation of the stock at current levels. It appears to be ready to make a significant move higher. 2.98 is the level to watch for a breakout. Keep it on your radar screen because the technical chart looks very bullish to me and looks in the verge of a breakout. Analysts are also very positive on the stock. Check this out: Analysts Bullish on OHR Pharma Amid Positive Study

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) attempted to close above the $17 level on Friday but did not succeed. A breakout from this short-term sideways zone will give an excellent opportunity for traders to pick up long positions. Considering the strong momentum over the past week, I think the stock looks set to break higher. Keep this stock in your radar list.

( click to enlarge )

Juno Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:JUNO) closed the day on Friday gaining nearly 3% on solid volume. The stock has started to bounce and seems to be ready for a run up. Some technicals are turning up here and the MACD finally triggered the buy signal indicating that an upward cycle has begun. Further strength above 37.7 opens the door to 40. Put her on your radar.

( click to enlarge )

ZIOPHARM Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIOP) had a nice rebound recently and has been consolidating here. The stock is displaying upside momentum again and is poised to move higher from these levels IMHO. Nearest resistance is at $9.33 (200EMA). If this key level is crossed and the stock is able to sustain above this level, then it might go to $10 in short-term. On the technical side, MACD gave a buy signal and RSI has been ticking higher. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch the stock closely next week. Stop 8.40

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) is slowly recovering. The $14 area is a critical resistance region that can determine overall bias for the stock in medium-term. A move above this key level would confirm the breakout (DT line), with an initial target of 14.75 and secondary target of 15.50. Stop is at 12.82

Stocks to keep an eye on March 24, 2015

Dearest readers,

I continue to receive visits from a page that was “cloned” using my blog theme and 2 posts of mine using a Brazilian company domain that is attracting people with inappropriate ads. I have already contacted the Brazilian company informing them that its domain was hacked with some of my content, but unfortunately until now I have not received any answer . I’m thinking in contacting google and blogger about this issue, but for now my blog is running fine, the problem is that my theme was cloned and hosted somewhere using the domain of a Brazilian construction company. If you find my blog theme in some motor searches, using two articles (March 12 and 13) with inappropriate ads, I have nothing to do about that, they are the hacked pages.

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) Strong rally on decent volume today. I think the price could try and take a trip to $7 or so if volume comes in. The technical indicators are looking bullish. We saw unusual bullish options activity (April $7).

( click to enlarge )

ITT Educational Services, Inc. (NYSE:ESI) could be in the early stages of a technical breakout. The stock price has been basing the past few days and just recently started inching above most of the consolidation area. From a technical perspective, the daily technical indicators are beginning to look bullish. The MACD indicator is rising above its signal line, but remains in negative territory. The RSI crossed above the 50 mark and ADX is gaining momentum. Let's see what Tuesday brings. Could squeeze over $8. Im long.

( click to enlarge )

Shares of El Pollo LoCo Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LOCO) have room for a significant uptick beyond these levels. Volume starts to pick up again. A move above $28.09 could trigger a sharp move higher. Long set-up on watch.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) is moving higher after-hours after the company announced it has signed both patent and technology license agreements with IBM. The stock needs to take out 12.79 in order to convince bullish buyers at these levels. I like this stock and chart.

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc.(NASDAQ:FSLR) Starting to look strong again. Next buy area when clears the 62.27 level on heavy volume.

( click to enlarge )

U.S. Silica Holdings Inc (NYSE:SLCA) still looks poised to break higher. A move above 33.49 would confirm the breakout, with an initial target of 34.06 and secondary target of 37.47.

Stocks to Watch for July 07, 2014

( click to enlarge )

AXT Inc (NASDAQ:AXTI) was a stock I alerted to my twiter followers on Thursday as a bottom trade. The stock closed near the highs of the day and above its 50-day EMA for the first time since May on stronger than normal volume. The technical chart shows a stock that is starting to breakout and I would look to the $2.55/2.6 area as the next point of resistance. The bias is likely to remain positive as long as the stock price sustains above 2.06. If we see follow-through on Monday the stock might run hard. From a fundamental standpoint the company is also interesting, it has no debt, trades below book value of $4.14 and has $1.39 cash per share. Keep AXTI on your radar screens.

( click to enlarge )

Short covering in some coal stocks produced some strong gains on Thursday. Shares of Walter Energy, Inc. (NYSE:WLT) broke through resistance at $6 and closed above its 50-day exp moving average for the first time since Januray. This could be a significant turning point for stock.

( click to enlarge )

For the past four months J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) stock price has been moving sideways mostly flat since May. Connecting the peaks and lows since then, it seems that JCP´s stock may be in a symmetrical triangle formation. The momentum in the short-term remains bullish with MACD trending upwards above its signal line. A close above 9.54 would be required to turn the near-term bias significantly toward buying trades. You should keep this stock on your radar next week.

( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) is currently consolidating after having moved up nearly 30 per cent in recent weeks. A breakout above 14.82 would position the stock price to test next resistance at around 16.

( click to enlarge )

Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ:DWCH) Nice bottom base here. The Momentum has turned bullish and a break above resistance at 16.31 would open the door for a rally to 20. I bought this stock on Thursday. Nice to see that George Soros bought a position in the company in the first quarter of this year. This is a low float stock that could be ready to soar :)

( click to enlarge )

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) showed some strength on Thursday and closed nicely above the 20-day EMA with solid volume. At this level, we should see the stock retest the resistance located at $17.10 followed by $17.21. The support level is adjusted to $16.11

( click to enlarge )

Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ:FITB) Likely to accelerate on a break above the key resistance level loacted at 21.67

Stocks to Watch for March 05, 2014

( click to enlarge )

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) needs to take out $58.85. The break of the key resistance with good volume should be the next buy point on FSLR The recent increase in trading volume and rising A/D suggests buyers are accumulating stock.

( click to enlarge )

Vical Incorporated (NASDAQ:VICL) Volume starts to pick up again. The stock price could make a move to the upside. A break of $1.60 with high volume might give VICL room to $1.79. Keep it on your watch list.

( click to enlarge )

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) starting to get some momo once again. On the technical daily chart, we can see a few technical signals suggesting that a swing higher may be in the cards in the short-term.

( click to enlarge )

Ventrus Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:VTUS) is a Biotech name that looks poised for bounce from bottom. The stock performed very well today, closing up 7% with high volume. Daily technical indicators are showing signs of turning around, with MACD curling up and RSI starting to turn up from deep oversold levels. If the potential "buy" signal confirms itself, I will be looking for a move to the resistance area at 1.7-1.75 at the very least. The company has 32.2M in cash ( $1.62 ps) and has zero debt. It's trading below cash levels and book value.

( click to enlarge )

Nuance Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN) broke out of an important consolidation area with a long white candlestick. This new rally should at least push the stock to $16

Thursday December 6th watchlist

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) had a strong day today closing near its highs of the day on strong volume. Additionally, the stock closed above its major moving averages and the accumulation/distribution chart showed strength in this movement. It looks like investors are starting to load up at this level. The breakout should take this stock to over $30.

( click to enlarge )

The stock moved up to trigger my buy at $7.74. Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE:ANR) surged on strong volume today, but pulled back a bit at the close to close at $8.07. With MACD above the signal line and with stock above 20-day and 50-day moving average the stock may see more up side.

Dendreon Corporation (NASDAQ:DNDN) gained over 6% today on better than average volume. The good news here is that stock is getting closer to break its 200-day MA at 4.74.

Crocs, Inc.(NASDAQ:CROX) was up 2 cents today to $13.30. No changes from my previous post. My first target remains at $14 and the stop loss remains at $12. After the market's close, Imperial Capital Initiated coverage on Crocs, Inc. with an Outperform and a price target of $16.00. That's good news for tomorrow.

Friday's Stocks to Watch, Aug 10

( click to enlarge )

PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE:PHM) broke out to new highs Thursday on 1.5x the daily average volume. The short-term uptrend is intact and signals further bullishness on this stock. Buy the stock in dips with tight stop-loss at $11.49.

( click to enlarge )

InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) shares gained more than 2.8 percent on Thursday closing near its highs of the day on decent volume. I'm keeping IDCC on the list for the next few sessions and I expect to see the stock pop up to $35. The next major resistance level for the stock is located at $34.97. A close above this level would be very bullish. Pullbacks to $31.57-$32 are now a good entry point. The daily technical indicators are bullish as MACD momentum and histograms trend higher in positive territory and RSI is moving up.

( click to enlarge )

ON Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:ONNN) closed back over the 50-day MA and the volume was good. The immediate support level is now adjusted to $6.75 followed by $6.51 and the resistance continues to be located at $7.23 followed by $7.36. The technical indicators such as KD and RSI also show buy signal as %K line has just crossed on top over %D line & RSI is also moving up and just crossed its 50% level. In the near term the support base around 6.5 should maintain a positive bias.

( click to enlarge )

Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:SVNT) has a strong resistance located at $.89 but then nothing until $1.26. The stock was one of the strongest small caps stocks on Wednesday and I expect the momentum to continue. Daily MACD continues to rise bullishly and recently crossed the zero line. Stay tuned.

( click to enlarge )

Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE:BTU) The stock crossed its 50-day moving average of $22.65 and closed at $23.01 on Thursday indicating a strong bullish signal.
