Stock Picks for Friday December 3, 2010

( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) has proven its bullishness. The stock has been moving with large volume over the past three trading sessions breaking several resistance lines. This definitely is a very bullish sign for this stock. The technical chart shows the momentum indicators have turned up and the RSI is on the rise. For the short term the stock should still continue to go up. A close above $4.52 would have positive implications and could push the stock to the 4.90-5.07 range.

GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM) gained 4.83% for the day and formed a bullish continuation signal and also gave us a bullish MACD crossover which is a powerful bottom reversal signal and confirms my opinion that the stock is bottoming in preparation for a major bounce higher. Short-term traders can buy the stock with stop-loss at $1.41.

Atmel Corporation (NASDAQ:ATML) broke out to a new high for the year. This is generally a hot buy from a technical perspective, however and at this point the stock is a bit  extended for additional positions. The RSI indicator at the top of the chart is showing an overbought reading. This doesn't mean that the price cannot go higher. The stock hit a high of $11.53 on the day, which is resistance for Friday’s continuation move. If the stock can break through this level, we should see another strong upside move.

Stock Picks for Thursday December 2, 2010

 ( click to enlarge )

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.

 ( click to enlarge )

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.

  ( click to enlarge )

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.

Stock Picks for Tuesday, October 19

 ( click to enlarge )

SIGA Technologies, Inc.(NASDAQ:SIGA) has been one of the hottest stocks around, trading up from $8.00 to its current price of $14.38, all this month. Monday, the stock closed at $14.06, trading 3x normal daily volume.  I am buying SIGA again once it breaks $14.38, but I recommend using the stops on this stock.

 ( click to enlarge )

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) released earnings and was one of the big winners on Monday.  The stock traded as high as $4.20, before pulling back the last hour of the day.  I am watching the stock on Tuesday, and will be buying once the stock breaks through Monday’s high of $4.20. Citigroup could be a good stock for medium-term investment, based on its historical performance and from the technical indicators. Let's keep an eye on it.

  ( click to enlarge )

GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM) was a bit weak today despite a positive stock market. It appears that the 50-day moving average located at $2.01 was successfully tested. The momentum clearly favors the bulls. As long as GIGM can remain over $2, I like the stock. If $2.10 is broken, look for $2.4-$2.5. Today's pullback has been on lower volume just as it should be. Looking for a nice bounce from here with accumulation and relative strength.

   ( click to enlarge )

OceanFreight Inc. (NASDAQ:OCNF) - Technical breakout on no news. I don't see anything until the $1.32-$1.5 area. The stock is now back above the 50 day moving average which is very bullish. Let's keep an eye on her as i think momentum will pick up.

Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Friday - JPM, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

JPM - The ascending wedge pattern I've followed in the JPM's chart for the past several days has finally been broken to the downside. What does this mean for tomorrow's action ? Well, normally a close near the lows of the day such as we saw today leads to a lower close the following day. This is usually a sign of bearishness. In addition, the Stochastics indicator showed the %K line crossed below the %D line when both values are above the 80% level, creating a sell signal. A move to the $27.5-$27.75 range appears likely in the near term. Only a close above $33 would reinstate bullishness.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

GS - After the spectacular surge in November, the stock has traded in a narrow converging triangular range for about 3 weeks. Given its past behavior, the quiet move in this stock is not likely to continue, it could be up or down. There is a strong support level at the $67-$68 range. A breach of this range would lead to a sharp decline. For the moment, only a close above $74 would impart a positive trend. Existing holders may remain invested with a stop loss at $67.28.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )

C - Although there is a possibility of a rally to the $9-10 range, the near-term outlook does not appear positive. A drop below $7.40 with volume would have negative implications and could push the stock to $6-$6.45 zone. Remain invested with a stop loss at $7.40.

That's All. See you tomorrow !!

Wells Fargo surpassed Citigroup in market Cap

The Wells Fargo surpassed Citigroup in market Cap and became the third U.S. bank more valuable. The stock closed the day at $31.17 which gave it a market capitalisation of around 103.14 billion of dollars. Citigroup closed at 18.88 which give it a market capitalization of just 102.81 billion dollars. This institution remains, however, as the largest bank by assets. According to Bloomberg, two years ago, Citigroup had a market capitalisation of more than 240 billion dollars, which doubled the value of Wells Fargo. Since then, shares of Citigroup accumulate a devaluation of 62%, which compares with a fall of 10% of Wells Fargo. The biggest bank by market value is the Bank of America, estimated at 148.29 billion dollars, followed by JPMorgan worth 135.66 billion dollars. The crisis of the market for high-risk credit already has resulted in more than 500 billion dollars in losses and depreciation of assets in financial institutions throughout the world. This list is led by Citigroup that has already lost 55 billion dollars. From a technical perspective, both stocks are trading in different technical scenarios.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

WFC - The recent breakout from the longstanding resistance line was accompanied with volume, however today's action was not so good. The stock failed to follow through and broke the resistance turned support at 31.73, indicating probably a false technical breakout. Looking closely at the technical chart, it still showing some bullish sign as 50 day moving average near to cross over 200 day moving, MACD above 0 and K line above D line. So, it's time to wait and see which direction the stock will choose to go.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ( click to enlarge )

Citigroup has been trading in a downtrend since its highs in early 2007, depreciating from a 52-week high of $52.31 to a low of $13.77. Currently the stock is trading at around $19 and has been bouncing between $17 and $21. The technical chart above shows the stock has been testing the strong horizontal resistance of $21 (on 3 separate occasions) for the past 2 months. Yesterday, the stock failed again to surprass this key level and the Volume traded was quite large, which may be a indication that is too early to break this resistance. However, the stock still displaying some bullish signs. The MACD is still above the signal line and the stock price is above the 20 and 50 day moving averages. If this stock is still bullish, it may be able to hold its position above the 50 DMA. Otherwise, if the stock has really turned bearish, we can confirm it if it breaks the $18 support.

Financial turbulence continues, penalizing stocks

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

KLAC - The stock broke support of $40 Wednesday on above average volume. KLAC can continue going down, because there is no supports below. Unless the KLAC can recover above the resistance at $40, the technical outlook for the stock will be bearish and we should reduce our exposure. Hard to say how far down it will go, since that depends on the strength of any selling.

AAPL - The worst is over? Good potential to move, but no buy signal yet. Keep watching this one.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

C - The stock made a new 52-week low at $19.54 on Friday. Technically the stock is still in weak market as MACD is still below 0 and 50-day moving average is below 200-day moving average. Honestly speaking, this is still not the right time to buy the stock as it is still in downtrend and the financial turbulence continues.

JPM - The stock made a new 52-week low at $36.01 on Friday. Technically in the same scenario of Citigroup. This is not a good time to buy financial stocks.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

BAC - The stock has been on downtrend since October. With stock trading below its major moving averages, it is still in weak bear market so wait for uptrend coming back before buying the stock. I think BAC will test February lows before move up again. Pay particular attention for a possible break down of $35.15 level, RSI shows its going to break down. Keep watching this one.

Stocks to watch on Monday - PMCS, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, CPHD, LDK,

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Goldman Sachs - The previous support level at $200 for GS stock is now its resistance level. Will the resistance be broken next week ? Maybe.......depending of markets mood. The technical daily chart shows weakness as the stock is trading below major moving averages. In addition MACD is below 0 showing the stock is in bear market. One possible positive indicator is KD where K line still on top over D line. If the stock can go up a few more days it will be back to bull market. So, stay tuned on her for a possible breakout over $200.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

LDK - Stock has a big resistance range at $40-$40.50, which is where we need it to break to make a big move. I will continue to watch the stock on Monday.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Stock has risen strongly since November, and it has formed a nice uptrend channel. Currently share price is in the middle of the channel. Support is at $29 and resistance at $33.36. A break below the channel at $29 will be very negative but looks like an unlikely situation, so I expect prices to continue rising.

Currently Citigroup is testing the downtrend line from early October but did not get through. Entry long would be on the day it blows through its downtrend line on heavy volume. A short position here has a low risk with a stop above downtrend line.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

PMCS - The stock found resistance at $5.70 for the third time this month, closing near its lows for the day. A test of previous lows at $4.61, is now an open scenario.

A good look ahead at stocks to watch next week

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

FSLR is probably the best acting stock in the Solar sector right now. She's incredibly extended but no one seems to care. Looking at the chart above the stock is still in a very strong bull market with MACD on top of signal line and 50 day moving average on top of 200 day moving average. It looks like FSLR is setting up nicely to break into all time highs. So, next week keep an eye on her.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

Evergreen Solar setup nicely this week making a new 52 week high at $17.75. ESLR still printing in the daily chart a nice uptrend line, and chart is showing strong Bullish indications, however at this level is likely to see some profit taking due to the fact that stock have reached overbought conditions, and normally at this technical point, the selling pressure increases. UBS Analyst on Friday Initiates at 'Buy' on stock, citing potential growth. Stay tuned on ESLR.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts

RMBS - Nice movement on Friday in a bad day for overall markets. I'm still convinced that we'll see this stock breakout soon. One important factor for stock is that Sony PS3 gains market share last month. The Sony PS3 is now at 21%, up from 12% in October in terms of new generation game console market share. According to NPD Group Inc. numbers the sales of the PS3 almost quadrupled in November. The Wii market share fell from 52% to 44% in November. 466,000 Sony PS3 consoles have been sold in November. With this numbers out, we can predict good sales for rambus related with PS3.

Goldman Sachs said on Friday that Citigroup Inc's bonds were poised to outperform after its debt rating was cut and it unveiled a plan to rescue $49 billion of off-balance sheet investments. The stock lost more than 1% anyway. Prices are again close to test the low of $29.75.

One vice president after another drops off the senior management rolls at the Internet giant. Next to go are VP of Media Engineering Bharath Kadaba and Rachel Glaser, a senior vice president of operations finance. A very long series of negative closes for Yahoo. MACD prints a positive divergence and also the Money Flow. Close to the $22 low printed at the end of August. A retest is to be taken into account here.

Citigroup and Yahoo analyses were brought to you by my friend Paolo of Short-termtrading.
