Stocks to Watch for October 07, 2013

( click to enlarge )

Arotech Corporation (NASDAQ:ARTX) spiked 14 cents, or 7.8% Friday to 1.93, breaking out of a base on good volume and could be ready to run again. A break of $2, which appears highly probable at this point will trigger a buy stop entry for a trade to the 2.1-2.24 area. Initial stop loss will be in the 1.75 area. The technical daily chart above shows the stock is back to rally as %K line is above %D line with MACD also back above signal line. The rising RSI should continue to carry the rally.

The strong move in Barnes & Noble, Inc.(NYSE:BKS) shares was something that I tweeted early in Friday's morning. If you were following my twitter account you would have gotten the tweet when the stock was trading at 13.32. It ended the day at $14.41 trading more than 2.6M shares, well above its average volume. If you jumped in and booked your profits, congratulations!

( click to enlarge )

Gulf Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ:GURE) displayed some impressive relative strength with a 5.78% gain. The power of Friday's move suggests an upward breakout that could impulse GURE's stock to test the September highs at 2.06. MACD made a bullish crossover and AC/DT is increasing. This shows that investors are bullish on this stock.

( click to enlarge )

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) Series of higher lows. The stock is forming a bullish flag on daily chart which is usually the most bullish of consolidation patterns and may be ready to break soon. So, perhaps this is merely a pause in a strong uptrend IMHO. Breakout watch $51.60.

( click to enlarge )

Platinum Group Metals Limited (NYSEMKT:PLG) produced a strong bullish breakout with Friday's 15% gain. The stock broke out from a short-term downtrend channel pattern with a very large volume and closed near its recent highs. It's a buy on a break of 1.26 with solid volume. Stop 1.06. Technical indicators are also supporting the bulls. The MACD crossed above the signal line, RSI is moving up and above its 50% level. Keep on watch list.

( click to enlarge )

salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM) is building a nice flag, holding above 13-day EMA. Watching for 54.25 breakout.

( click to enlarge )

UniPixel Inc (NASDAQ:UNXL) is in the top of a short-term trading range. UNXL's technical's are looking up as we see only minor resistance at 20.8/83 and looks like this baby is poised for a strong BREAKOUT at any time now. Once the resistance of 20.83 breaks past we can see it hit the higher levels in minutes. With almost 45% of float short, this stock is a serious short squeeze candidate. MACD/RSI and CMF are all showing us something similar: uptrends. With the technical daily chart on the verge of a possible breakout, get UNXL on your radars.

( click to enlarge )

Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BRCD) looks like is close to attempting a new breakout. I expect to see a high volume move once the stock breaks through resistance of 8.43, as traders are watching this stock closely.

( click to enlarge )

Ceres Inc (NASDAQ:CERE) pull-back in the last 3 days is due to profit taking and could be viewed as a good sign. Nothing should go straight up without a healthy-pullback. This small drop is helping clean up the technical chart for the next rally. The uptrend is intact and technicals remain strong with MACD above its signal line and in positive territory. CMF is also showing a positive momentum. I think the next move higher, will take CERE much closer to my short term target of $2.

Stocks to Watch for October 04, 2013

( click to enlarge )

Bottom Alert !!!! I think Samson Oil & Gas Limited (NYSEMKT:SSN) has found a nice bottom here and looks poised to post a rally from the current levels. The technical chart is not only oversold, but shows that some technical indicators are starting to turn up again. SSN deserves watching going forward. Stop 46 cents.

( click to enlarge )

XOMA Corp (NASDAQ:XOMA) should be watched closely. Its a buy over 5.54

( click to enlarge )

UniPixel Inc (NASDAQ:UNXL) attempted a move higher, but sold back down. It still looks good for more upside from here. Dailly technical indicators are looking bullish. The MACD is positive and rising above its signal line. RSI and slow stochastic are also positive.

( click to enlarge )

FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:FLIR) Appears to have completed its period of consolidation and is ready for next move up. MACD crossover today. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

FactSet Research Systems Inc. (NYSE:FDS) is consolidating and might be getting ready to move higher. A long entry is at 113.05.

Stocks to Watch for May 30, 2013

( click to enlarge )
KB Home (NYSE:KBH) The stock is testing a major support zone 50-day EMA and medium-term trend line support. Play the reaction. From a technical perspective, the daily technical indicators are showing bearish signs. The MACD is positive but falling below its signal line. The RSI is below its 50% level and the CMF is negative. The stock is trading well above its rising 200-day EMA, which is a good sign, but at this level strict stop losses must be maintained. Keep a close eye on KBH tomorrow !

( click to enlarge )

Procera Networks Inc (NASDAQ:PKT) Nice mover off of the 20-day EMA. Upside volume has been good lately and there is one level to watch in the near term for a breakout: 14.97 . The technical indicators are improving with increased accumulation. Keep PKT on your radar !!!

( click to enlarge )

Uranium Energy Corp. (NYSEMKT:UEC) has been in a strong upwards trend the past few days and looks ready to continue this move.

( click to enlarge )

UniPixel Inc (NASDAQ:UNXL) The stock closed below key support level of 19.53 EMA200 for the first time in over six months. This is something worth watching.

( click to enlarge )

3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) was one of the few winners today, as the stock closed up 78 cents on the day. Today’s high was $47.78, which is resistance for the follow through move. If it can break through this level, expect to see heavy volume drive the stock higher. I'll watch the stock closely on Thursday.

( click to enlarge )

A M Castle and Co (NYSE:CAS) Cup and Handle pattern formation in progress. 18.74 is the level to watch for a breakout.

Stocks to Watch for May 13, 2013

( click to enlarge )

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.

( click to enlarge )

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

( click to enlarge )

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.

( click to enlarge )

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.
( click to enlarge )

 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
( click to enlarge )

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.
( click to enlarge )

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 April 16, 2013

( click to enlarge )
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS) The technical daily chart is calling for a correction, so watch for a break below 52.93 (50-day EMA) to trigger stops on longs for a move to 50. The key resistance level remains in the 56/57 area.

( click to enlarge )

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Technicals are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling sideways to lower prices possible in the near term. If it breaks below the key support level at 419, it's quite possible that we could see a move that will take the share price to 400 mark.

( click to enlarge )

UniPixel Inc (NASDAQ:UNXL) breakout watch over 34. Bullish MACD crossover today.

( click to enlarge )

Akorn, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKRX) Watch this one as it approaches the resistance area. Needs to take out 14.68. The break of the resistance with heavy volume should be the next buy point on AKRX.

( click to enlarge )

MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) Broke the 50-day EMA, more downside to come imho. May stop around 12 or may test the 200-day EMA.
