Stocks to Watch for November 04, 2013

( click to enlarge )

Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTEN) is approaching a breakout point at the 24.80 level, a break of which could accelerate the upmove. The technical indicators are bullish. The MACD is again above the signal line and trading upwards. The RSI and Slow stochastic are in the Bullish territory. All five EMAs on the chart are rising, and the stock price is rising above them. The bulls are in control. Stop 23.19

Portland General Electric Company (NYSE:POR) shares ended higher by 2.82% at $29.51 on Friday. From a technical standpoint, it’s difficult to predict the short term trend as it's lying near to its critical resistance of $29.72. Only a close above this key resistance level would be a major bullish development and confirm the bullish sentiment.

( click to enlarge )

Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) Flagging here. The stock has a very strong resistance at $18.63 and breaking above could take it to new highs, without any further major resistance.

( click to enlarge )

DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ:DRYS) made a strong upside reversal Friday on good volume. The technical daily chart suggests that stock might find now resistance at $3.20. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside. I believe the stock is due for recovery as %K line has crossed on top over %D line and the MACD is curling up. The stock needs to close above this level in order to alleviate the negative near-term view.

( click to enlarge )

Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ:STX) is consolidating above breakout area. A move above 50.66 would confirm a break of the flag and continuation of the uptrend. The stock has a strong support at 47.4.

( click to enlarge )

AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVEO) still holding this biotech name. The stock seems to be undervalued at current levels IMHO with a strong balance sheet and no debt. The company has $3.04 per share in cash. From a technical standpoint, the stock is in a downtrend but the signals are mixed. AC/DT indicator is displaying a bullish divergence and Slow Stochastic is now oversold on a daily basis. Percentage of shares held by institutional and mutual fund owners is 71%, so I still think the stock has potential at this point. On watch.

During the day I tweet many times to my readers. I encourage everybody to subscribe AC Investor Blog twitter and newsletter, so you can receive my trade ideas and stock news in real time.

Wednesday December 19th watchlist

( click to enlarge )

Shares of Accretive Health, Inc.(NYSE:AH) broke out today above its short term moving averages on monster volume. The stock is showing increasing strength on the MACD, Slow Stochastic and RSI. At this point, the next key technical levels that traders should be watching for are at the 200-day SMA of $13.16 and at $13.58, which is the next significant resistance. The short interest in this stock it's around 17%. Unusual volume can be a strong signal that hedge funds & momentum traders are piling into AH ahead of a catalyst.

 ( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) - This stock spent the day trying to break out from a nice bull flag. There is no change from my prior comments. We're still waiting for NVDA to breakout past $12.7. A high-volume move above that level could set this stock up to re-test its October highs of $13.71.

 ( click to enlarge )

Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (NASDAQ:ROSG) may face strong resistance at $4.73 (50-day SMA), above it may test $4.93 and thereafter it may test $5.39. All the trends in stock indicators are neutral or positive.

  ( click to enlarge )

Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:ORCL) Great earnings. Entry point would be on the day it blows through $33.10 on heavy volume.

  ( click to enlarge )

Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc.(NASDAQ:PTEN) has made an awesome move on Tuesday breaking out its resistance level. Plenty of room to upside. I recommend traders wait for a pullback to add or initiate positions in the stock.

 ( click to enlarge )

CBS Corporation (NYSE:CBS) has a good chance to continue higher and a buy could be made as it moves over $36.56. If this happens, the stock is a good play.

Stock Trade Ideas for Tuesday, June 14

( click to enlarge )

Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) rallied another 5% on heavy volume. The stock hit a high of $12.50, which is now resistance for Tuesday’s continuation move.

 ( click to enlarge )

THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) held up well in the weak market.  Short term, I'm looking for a bounce on THQI, and if we see a strong bounce then I'll be looking at the daily THQI 20 and 50 SMAs as possible bounce targets. Despite the weak signal from MACD in the technical chart as MACD and signal line are below 0, the technical chart shows this might be a great time to buy the stock as %K line has just crossed on top over %D line showing buy signal while ROC is still at oversold level. Immediate resistance is seen at 3.58 ( today’s high ).

( click to enlarge )

Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) - On Daily chart we can see a bearish MACD crossover that is increasingly evident in the last trading session. Next support is the 255-252 area just below the current price. There is a fair chance we will get a pause and a possible bounce off here. If it fails to hold above this level, then it has potential of testing 245.

( click to enlarge )

Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTEN) broke support in today’s session and should head considerably lower in the next few days. Next support is seen at $27.51 and then at $26.58.
