Twitter Ticker ($HGSI)

Human Genome Sciences is the word on StockTwits and @stockguy22 is the prophet. HGSI closed up 276% from Friday’s close on news of a promising lupus treatment called Benlysta. The stock is technically strong and may continue to be profitable, but it is so extended from its base that it is hard to quantify a…

Emerging Markets Breakout ($EEM)

While global markets are on the rise, emerging markets as represented by EEM are giving a clean signal to buy. A double top breakout in an uptrend above a rising Bollinger is a good reason to start a position or add more units and raise stops. A move below 30.21 would warrant caution, but with…

New High Short Squeeze ($STEC)

I am savagely raping short bears with STEC, turning their lifeless pelts into vast rugs, and placing them in front of my burning hearth where I’m roasting Dennis Kneale. Stocks like these look poised to make a killing as many continue to burn themselves by adding more fuel to these rockets with more shorts. By…

Twitter Ticker ($GOOG)

Google’s earnings release has StockTwits buzzing as the tech bellwether reports disappointing revenue growth, sending the stock down 3% after hours. Whether or not GOOG has the intellectual and executive capacity to increase revenue growth remains to be seen, but Chrome and Wave may be  game changers that offer room for expansion. Despite the revenue…

S&P 500 Bullidex ($ES_F $SPY $SPX)

The S&P 500 Bullidex has resumed an uptrend, signaling decreasing volatility relative to the number of rising stocks. This change implies a bullish market conducive to successful investment. I’m long quite a few stocks, and you should really take a look at the list posted by The Fly here. The economy sucks, unemployment will probably…

New High Short Squeeze ($ORLY)

O’Reilly Automotive is making new highs and carries a large short position, making it a ripe choice for investment in a rising market. By all headline accounts the car industry is dead, but it seems ORLY and AutoNation are holding up well. ORLY provides aftermarket car parts, tools and accessories, so perhaps the DIY attitude…

Twitter Ticker ($INTC)

Intel is buzzing on StockTwits after posting better than expected earnings and rising 7% after hours. I’ve been accumulating INTC since posting this in April, and I’m hardly surprised by the stellar results. The semiconductor sector has been leading, and the numbers prove the market was ahead of the curve. Trading above the upper Bollinger…
