Trade ideas for next week

 ( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) - Looking at the technical chart above, we can see a nice pull back after recent advance. The volume on this pull back has been minimal compared to the volume on the way up, so there is nothing to worry about. This stock is still displaying upside momentum and is poised to move higher from these levels. Let’s see whether the stock can gather enough momentum to break through $6.32 next week. If the Bulls are able to push through this level, there will be another rally towards $6.68 . The uptrend continuation scenario is slightly more likely at the moment. Shareholders may remain invested with a stop-loss at $5.69.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)  enjoys a strong support at the 318-319 zone. Only a close below this zone would have negative implications. The near-term trend is bullish and would remain so, as long as the stock holds above this area. Fresh buying may be considered on a close above 325.

Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) traded up on Friday and I am looking for a continuation move next week. Resistance is $62.15 and I expect an increase in volume once the stock breaks through.

( click to enlarge )

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) continued to show strength with another gain on strong volume. Today's rally put shares above potential round-number resistance at the $5.50 level, which is a bullish sign. The technical chart looks very bullish with a short-term target of $5.88.

Other stocks to watch :

Shares of Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG) continue to be very volatile and a stock worth watching. I plan to buy PLUG the next time it breaks up through $.40

Shares of Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) closed back above $12.50 on Friday, which is bullish. Support is located around $12.28.

Shares of Universal Travel Group (NYSE:UTA) are starting to heat up again and are worth watching. As I have been saying, I think this stock can trade above $7 during the next four weeks. The stock is forming a possible inverted head and shoulders pattern with a neckline at $7.

Shares of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT)  hit a new 52 week high on heavy volume Thursday. Resistance is located at $9.36 and then $9.45.

Stocks to watch for the 17th of December

 ( click to enlarge )

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) broke out today to a new 52-week high on strong volume. The stock cleared resistance at $8.68 and appears ready to make a nice advance. This should be the first part of a bigger move, which is why I will be watching the stock closely on Friday. My target is $9.76. Expect some resistance near $9.29.

  ( click to enlarge )

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK)  is still consolidating here and may still have a chance to move higher. Long entry is at $5.48.

 ( click to enlarge )

Universal Travel Group (NYSE:UTA)  produced a good bounce from the $6.06 level today.If the bounce continues tomorrow look for new long positions in the $6.25-6.35 zone. The MACD on the daily chart is nearing a new buy signal. Keep in mind that the technical chart above shows a possible inverted head and shoulders pattern formation with a neckline at $7. We will have to wait and see.

The ENER continues to rally and added another 2.34%. The close over $5.20 is a positive sign. ENER looks good for more gains as long as the market continues higher.

Stocks to watch for the 16th of December

( click to enlarge )

I’m once again directing your attention to Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK). I think this is a crucial time for the stock and my optimism remains at all time highs. Looking at the technical chart above, the stock has been uptrending quietly over the past four months and now the technicals are indicating the stock could begin an even juicier rally. The Stochastic Oscillator is moving higher and MACD is gaining momentum while RSI is at 64. Money Flow has been solid as investors have been accumulating and taking positions, which is another good signal. Moreover shares of Eastman Kodak are on top of 50 and 200 day moving average and has the chance to bring 50-day moving average above 200-day moving average to bring the stock back to bull market. Next major resistance level is $5.48. So, if you like upward continuation bounce plays, take a close look at EK. Technically speaking, I believe EK has a good setup and uptrend.

 ( click to enlarge )

THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) - Today the stock broke an important resistance level and could go to $6.28 in short-term. Volume confirms. The technical chart shows very strong upward momentum as the stock is above the major moving averages with both 50-day and 200-day moving average. All indicators still point to a bull market.

 ( click to enlarge )

Allied Irish Banks, plc. (NYSE:AIB) is slowly recovering. The $1.46-$1.50 area is a critical resistance region that can determine overall bias for the stock in short-term. Keep an eye on these levels !
( click to enlarge )

Shares of Verisign, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN) made a new 52 week high today closing at $37.01 on heavy volume. The stock hit a high of $37.18, which is now resistance for thursday’s continuation move. If the stock can break through resistance, we should see another strong upside move. VRSN will move very quickly, so watch the stock closely on Thursday.

Stocks in focus for Friday

( click to enlarge )

11% Increase!!! A truly remarkable day for Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) shares.  The stock surged 11.32 percent or 54 cents to $5.31 per share, spurring bullish options trading, amid renewed speculation the company is an acquisition target. Breakout !!!!! After nearly a month of consolidating sideways shares of Eastman Kodak broke out higher past resistance near $4.85. This is a very short-term bullish development. Conservative traders may want to exit now but I'm going to adjust my exit target just a little bit and move it from $5.68 to $5.95. Aggressive traders could easily aim for the $6 or $6.25 level. I first alerted on this one Friday night and Yesterday when it was trading at $4.77. Today it hit a high of $5.48 for a possible gain on 15% and ended the day at $5.31 so readers who bought in on my inital alert are still up 16%!! Hope everyone is having fun and making some money. To answer some of the e-mail's I have been receiving : Thank you for telling me about your success with EK and other alert's I have brought you. Technically speaking, EK looks promising. The stock is in a very strong bull market as MACD is high above signal line and %K line has just crossed on top over %D line. In addition, the long term trend is now bullish as the stock is on top of 50-day moving average and back above the 200-day moving average. All of the common indicators point to some very positive near-term advances.

Texas Instruments Incorporated (Public, NYSE:TXN) continues to show relative strength with another new relative high. The stock is beginning to look a little short-term overbought and due for a dip. I would expect TXN to find short-term support at the rising 10-day moving average near $32.85. On the other hand, fresh exposures may be considered on a move above $33.93.

After two days of relative weakness we're finally seeing an oversold bounce in Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO). Immediate resistance is at $20. A break above that area could trigger further upside recovery testing $21.12. Stay tuned !!!!

I have been warning readers that GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM) looks like it would bounce back toward resistance near $1.73. From a technical standpoint the larger trend is still bearish but  in the short-term technical indicators have turned bullish with the bounce. The MACD also confirms the price movement byheading higher and RSI shows that there's more upside to come. Furthermore, the most recent data shows that the short interest increased significantly ( 35% ). That's a high-degree of short interest, and raises the risk for a strong short squeeze. Right now I'd watch the 20-dma near $1.50 as short-term support.

5 Stocks to Keep An Eye On

( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS)  suffered another day of profit taking with a 1.83% pull back but traders bought the dip at $5.90. Today's stock price action looks like further consolidation after Friday morning's big spike up. The technical picture is mixed but the medium-term trend is bullish and I suspect that DRYS is poised to move higher from here. My first target to take profits is at $6.83.

 ( click to enlarge )

The big news with VIVUS, Inc.(Nasdaq:VVUS) today was that Orexigen’s drug Contrave had cleared a major regulatory hurdle on the road to approval. I believe it was today's news that accounted for VVUS big volume today. Usually when we see big volume and no movement with a stock near its highs I suspect it's distribution and bulls should turn more defensive. At this stage, the stock might be due for a rest so watch for a dip back toward $8.70. A closer look at the RSI reveals that the stock is extremely Overbought. On the other hand, fresh exposures may be considered on a move above $9.32, with a stop-loss at $8.70.

 ( click to enlarge )

The overall trend in Cisco Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CSCO) remains bearish but looking closely at the chart above we can see that in the short-term the stock is trying to bounce from oversold conditions. I've been concerned that the lack of downward momentum at this level is suggesting a short-term bottom. Before buying this stock, I want to see the price break the resistance of $19.70 and the 20 day moving average to the upside. On the other hand a drop under $19 would be very bearish and reinforce the downtrend.

 ( click to enlarge )

ARCA biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABIO) continues to sell-off and on big volume, which is normally a bearish sign. The stock lost 9%. In terms of technical levels, the next major support is seen at 3.10 followed by 3.01.

  ( click to enlarge )

I do not see any significant changes from my previous updates on Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK). The stock continues to look bullish. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $4.85.

Four Stocks to Watch Next Week

( click to enlarge )

Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) traded just like the overall market. The stock started the day weak but rallied to go positive and closed at the highs of the day. This could be the start of a trend reversal for MOT, which is why I'll be watching the stock on Monday. Volume has been increasing the past 3 days, as the stock sits in a tight channel. Resistance is $8.28, which was the high of November. If the stock breaks through, there is a good chance you will see a strong upside move, so watch the stock very closely next week. In addition, the CMF Index is showing a rising move, indicating a rising money flow into the stock. Keep MOT on your radar for Monday’s trading session.


 ( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS)  has broken out of a major resistance line. The upside looks bright.

( click to enlarge )

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) looks like it is a decent risk reward long play here. The stock had a huge move in late October moving over 15% in two days and has been consolidating that move since. A sustained move above $4.88 would complete the base and would give a confirmation of a breakout. The money flow index is starting to point upward and momentum turning into the green. In addition, the RSI still above the neutral 50 level. Technically, this stock is in a short-term UPWARD trend indicated by the 50 day MA.

( click to enlarge )

LSI Corporation (NYSE:LSI) has been is on a remarkable run since September and it doesn’t looks like the trend will change soon. At this stage, LSI is in overbought territory from a technical standpoint, however it does not mean the stock won't still go up but a pull back is needed. I'm very bullish on this stock, but in situations like this, I prefer to wait for a pull back rather than chase the market.

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.

 ( click to enlarge )

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.

Five momentum stocks to keep an eye on

 ( click to enlarge )

The technical chart of (NYSE:EK) has become increasingly bullish and is currently consolidating in an attractive pattern. The stock is forming a symmetrical triangle with support at $4.70. From the chart above, we can see that the stock is in a short-term bull market with 13 day moving average on top over 50 day moving average and MACD above signal line. I am expecting a breakout at $4.87. A move past this level would be a strong indicator of a further uptrend in the stock.

 ( click to enlarge )

Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) is in a breakout mode and we could see another up move before the stock pulls back and consolidates. The stock hit high of $17.89 today, and I will be buying once it trades above this price. So keep a close eye on it Friday. 

 ( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS)  is currently doing a return move to re-test the resistance turned support at $5. It’s a wait-and-see. If price bounces from support, this would be a good time to buy.

  ( click to enlarge )

Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) is forming a symmetrical triangle. Breakout above 20.75 needs to have a good volume. Target price is 23.48. This week, the stock price finally crossed the 50 day moving average, indicating a buy. From a technical perspective, a buy is signalled when the stock’s closing price crosses above the moving average from below after a down-trend. As long as the stock price is above the MA the trend is defined as bullish. RMBS can be a very good trading stock, so watch it closely.

  ( click to enlarge )

Atmel Corporation (NASDAQ:ATML)  broke out today, after it has been consolidating the past few trading days. The stock moved up on heavy volume and should have a continuation move on Friday. If ATML can break through today's high of $10.98, I am a buyer of the stock.
