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.

( click to enlarge )
 
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 15th of December

( click to enlarge )

There many ways to see if the stock is worth buying and one of them is to see if the insiders are buying the stock. Because, this means either the executives are optimistic about the company or they are commited to make the company even better. One stock which fits into this category is Universal Travel Group (NYSE:UTA). On Thursday, December 9, the company announced that Xie Jing, CFO of Universal Travel Group Common bought 39,850 shares and the reaction in the market was immediately. Generally, if management teams have been purchasing shares, the stock should do well. From a technical standpoint, the technical chart is still showing a bull market signal as MACD is still above signal line and %K line is still on top of %D line, both indicating buy signal. In addition, the moving averages are showing bullish sign in short-term as both 20-day and 50-day moving averages are heading up. Considering all these factors, I tent to ignore the recent pull-back and I keep my bullish stand going forward. UTA is also a prime candidate for a short squeeze. There is a very high short interest in this stock. Short-term investors can buy with a stop at $6 and long-term investors can hold with a stop at $5.72. Stay tuned.

 ( click to enlarge )

The widespread rally in stocks this morning was enough to push Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENER) through resistance at $5.14. Volume was good. From a technical perspective, ENER is now in a short-term bull market with share price above 13, 20 and 50 daily moving averages. Let's see if tomorrow the stock will confirm the breakout and continue uptrend to $5.80.

 ( click to enlarge )

Juniper Networks, Inc. (NYSE:JNPR) pulled back today but this pull back should not go lower than the resistance levels that were taken out. If you are feeling cautious at this point, then consider waiting for a new rally over $36.85 before initiating positions.

  ( click to enlarge )

Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ:BPOP) moved lower again today and this is still good for the stock at this point as some rest is needed in order to move higher. A little more consolidation  here would be best before we move higher.

3 Stocks Gaining Momentum

( click to enlarge )

Universal Travel Group (Public, NYSE:UTA) is developing an Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern, which many traders consider a bullish reversal pattern. We need to breakthrough the neckline before this pattern is complete. This could be a big clue as to where direction heads next. I would not be surprised to see the neckline to be broken soon. Looking at the technical daily chart of UTA, I believe that the stock is poised to continue moving upwards. Today's pullback has probably attracted some traders looking for an opportunity to jump into a stock that took a dip. There are several short, mid and long term technical indications suggesting that UTA could make a move to higher levels. Moreover shares of Universal Travel Group are on top of 20 and 50 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 $6.93. So, if you like upward continuation bounce plays, take a close look at UTA.

Force Protection, Inc. (NASDAQ:FRPT)  had a big move today. With this move, the stock closed above the short downtrend line on the daily chart. The technical chart above continue to show a bullish bias. The MACD line is pointing up. RSI is also increasing and +DI is above –DI. Resistance for the follow through move is $5.73. If the stock can break through this area, we should see a strong upside move. Watch FRPT closely on Monday.

Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENER) surged in the final hour of trading on Friday and closed back over $5. The real fireworks should begin if the stock can close above $5.14. As long as the stock can remain above $4.27, I like the stock.

A quick look at the technical chart :

1) Back above the 50-day moving average.
2) RSI is above 50 level.
3) Money Flow-Index is climbing
4) The +DI crossed up through the -DI this week - Bullish.
5) 20-day moving average crossed the 50-day moving average to the upside.
6) 5-day moving average crossed the 20-day moving average to the upside.
6) MACD lines are going up.

I would not be surprised to see this range to be broken soon. However, the stock is still in a long-term downtrend, so it should be considered guilty until proven innocent.
