Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for next week - CIEN, CHINA, HANS, FSLR, NTRI

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

NTRI was one of the best performances over last week on Nasdaq, gaining more than $5 in two days . Nutrisystem on Tuesday announced a better-than-expected first-quarter sales forecast and set a transition plan for its chief executive post. Company said it expects to post first-quarter revenue of $216 million and operating profit of $21 million to $24 million, ahead of Wall Street estimates. From a technical point of view, the company may be able to recover lost momentum after declining for the past 9 months. Since the highs of $74.09 in July, shares have fallen more than 70%. At this point, there is a high level of probability that we have seen the bottom, and stock may be ready to go higher from here. A long position now should be seen as the best idea for stock. The level of short interest, also might prompt in future more rallies like we saw on Tuesday. The fundamentals are improving, the international expansion plans are in place and the better-than-expected outlook showed signs that the company had room for growth. As you see, there are realistic reasons to believe that the worst may be behind us, and this could be a good time to back up on stock again. The recent decline should be seen as a healthy movement after the huge spike in share price that easily brought all indicators to overbought conditions. So, for the coming days I expect a continuation of the upward movement, to fill the gap around $23. With MACD above 0 and K line above D line, once the profit taking is over we should see the stock continue to go up strong.

Fresh news for NTRI -
Diet company NutriSystem Inc. will replace Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc. on the S&P SmallCap 600 on Tuesday, Standard & Poor's said Friday. Click here to know more. With a low PE, tiny float and a high short interest, it seems like everything is perfect for a pop Monday.

FSLR - The stock looks to be forming a bullish flag here. Buy point is on the day it breaks the upper line on heavy volume.

HANS fell out of the $37 support, but true support is near $34.44. If this level falls it will probably head to $32.50 at least.

CHINA - CDC Corp. shares are trading in a long sideway since January. I dont know what direction CHINA will take after being in a long sideway movement and I cant find any helpful tool that can indicate what way the price will go. MACD and RSI are losing some ground but both are still in neutral zones without any indication to sell. One of the weakness is KD where K line is still below D line and when the KD trend reversed it would be a great time to buy.

CIEN - The stock is still trading within an upward channel. MACD is starting to get bearish though but it looks like moving averages are providing strong support. CIEN is coming back to test support near the breakout area $30. The stock price is looking good if tech bounce here.

Stocks to keep your eye on Monday - CSUN,FSLR, CHINA, RIMM, BUCY

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

BUCY - This stock has a good looking chart, and it looks like to be forming a bullish flag. Entry point will be on the day when stock breaks above $104.36 on heavy volume. Looking at the daily chart the investor sentiment in BUCY showed by RSI continues strong and MACD still going up. Stock still trading in a strong Bull Market with share price above 20 dma, 50 dma and 200 daily moving average. Keep it on the radar for a possible break out in the near future.

Research in Motion closed the day on Friday near the flat line, losing just 0.36% to $116.94. Looking at the daily chart stock blow out on earnings and it looks like is forming now a bull flag. At this level, buy point will be when stock breaks the upper line on heavy volume. Keep an eye on her.

I was looking over a list of today's strongest stocks and noticed CDC Corp. “CHINA”. Company said its directors and executives repurchased about 468,000 of its shares under a prearranged trading program in the last nine trading days. Shares ended the session gaining more than 20% to $4.95. Looking at the daily chart stock is trading in a clear Bear Market. This rally put me in a neutral zone to invest at these levels even with this news. I prefer stay away from stock and wait for a close above its 13 dma to enter long.

"Weekly Rambus" Chart courtesy of stockcharts

The daily chart shows Rambus is trading in a Bullish momentum. The Technical chart shows positive sign as the stock has been above 50 day moving average since mid September and has formed golden cross earlier November. Golden cross is when 50 day MA cross on top over 200 MA and is a very bullish buy signal. Presently, this stock is sitting right around the 13 dma. Meanwhile, the weekly chart shows the stock is pushing into a longer-term resistance area. A move above 25 would mark a long-term breakout. There is something interesting for this scenario occur, the January series shows a huge amount of calls at the 25 and 30 strikes, it looks like people are really convinced that stock will breakout over $22 and $25 soon. Let’s keep an eye on it.

FSLR shares jumped to all time highs over this week, making consecutives new highs. Stock is in a tremendous Bullish moment, with all indicators showing strength to move up, its 50 day and 200 day moving average still going up, while MACD is above 0 and RSI in Bullish territory. This stock is one of the best performances of 2007.

One stock that was in focus this week has been CSUN that jumped on Wednesday more than 30% and more 16% yesterday. The stock broke out on Wednesday with huge volume. So, after recent rally a pull back should be seen as a natural and welcome movement. I would wait for a little consolidation before jumping in, but it looks like CSUN is a stock to keep an eye on for awhile. Resistance at $19.23 and support is at $15.
