J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE:JCP) has recovered nicely from its April lows and can potentially set-up very well for a swing-trade, if the stock breaks through the resistance level at $17.78. There could be good upside in this trade, so watch this stock closely next week.

Eagle Materials, Inc. (NYSE:EXP) is a candidate to be traded in breakout mode. The technical indicators are looking Bullish with MACD indicator rising above its sell signal line and RSI indicator moving up from the 50% level. Breakout watch above 72.19

Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) is one for the bottom pickers. The stock entered within the gap area and a short term rally is expected. The RSI is bouncing off 30 and the Chaikin Money Flow is positive showing money is flowing into the stock. A reversal may be on the way.

Friday was an amazing day for K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN). With a combination of strong volume and a huge breakout, this pick truly was a great find :) The stock hit a high of $27.75, which is now resistance for Monday’s continuation move.

Another possible bottom play to put on your watchlist is Central European Media Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ:CETV). The stock made a nice move on Friday bouncing off a bottom support around $2.60 cents. Looking at the technical chart, there are early signs in the indicators, that a larger move may be coming. Stop loss 2.58

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) took a breather last week and traded between 450 and 463. The sideward movement is really good for a flag formation. Daily technical indicators are giving bullish signals. The MACD is rising above its signal line and inside positive territory. RSI is moving above its 50% level and CMF is positive. A pullback is healthy here. Support is currently at 438.74, resistance at 463 and 466.86.

Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) The bears and the bulls are in a constant battle as most of the trading days last week were marked by positive/negative news. From a technical perspective, short-term technical indicators are strong and the RSI on the daily chart recently produced a new buy signal. Additionally, the stock is trading above 50-day and 200-day EMAs with both pointing upwards  If the stock can break Friday’s high of $15.68, we should see a strong follow through move. The short interest hit a new high last month and was around 34% of the float, which makes this stock the perfect play for a short squeeze.

Stocks to Watch for May 10, 2013

( click to enlarge )

The Western Union Company (NYSE:WU) had a very nice day as it broke out from a nice bull flag formation on solid volume. I want to see more follow through from this stock tomorrow.

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) hit a new 52-week high and held up very well when the nasdaq was tanking. The stock hit a high of $10.75 which is now resistance for Friday’s follow through move. From a technical standpoint, the stock is well above the major EMA's, which are all moving up and the Relative Strength Index indicator (RSI) has moved up into the overbought zone. The MACD is rising in the positive zone and is above the signal line. In my opinion, the bulls may continue their domination for a while longer, but you should be prepared for a quick correction.

Shares of MGIC Investment Corp. (NYSE:MTG) had a nice surge a few weeks ago and has been consolidating that move since then. Looking at the technical chart, we can see some positive technical signals, bullish MACD crossover, rising RSI line and the moving averages moving upwards. At this point, the next buy area is when it clears the 6.19 resistance on volume.

Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) Possible bottom play. Oversold conditions. Long above $5.23 with a stop at 4.74

Wynn Resorts, Limited (NASDAQ:WYNN) Holding up well. Alert for $140 in case this one decides to breakout.

K12 Inc. (NYSE:LRN) made a strong upside reversal. The chart suggests that stock might find now resistance at $26.07. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside.
