New High Short Squeeze ($LINC)

Lincoln Education Services has appeared on my favorite screen in the past week, and I noticed a video via @IBDInvestors on StockTwits, so I figured I’d throw in my two cents. Clearly education companies do well when people are scared and unemployed, so Wall Street has high expectations for the stock. With a float +20%…


Twitter Ticker ($AIG)

American International Group was a screaming short according to StockTwits traders like @smbcapital. Shares of AIG fell 22% after a 1-20 reverse stock split, and the chart has formed a double bottom breakdown, a distinctly bearish signal. Things look grim for the beleaguered insurer, despite the claims of CEO Ed Liddy who said AIG has…

Twitter Ticker ($NVAX)

Novavax is on StockTwits radar as the flu vaccine company signs a deal with Spain’s health ministry to license technology and build infrastructure.

Fuqi International (pronounced foo-chee) has caught the attention StockTwits as the Chinese jewelry company forms a bullish triangle breakout. Increasing Asian prosperity bodes well for this precious metals distributor and so growth expectations are rising. High above a rising upper Bollinger, 13.62 is the only visible support, so position accordingly. Broad market conditions continue to…


Twitter Ticker ($PALM)

Palm continues to make multi-year highs and it’s causing plenty of StockTwits chatter. With the Pre in play, the market continues to bet PALM can give Research in Motion a run for their money and grab a few iPhone/AT&T haters. PALM is appearing on my favorite screen, along with memory manufacture magnate STEC and technical…


NYSE McClellan Oscillator ($SPY)

The best market news I’ve seen is the positive move in the NYSE McClellan Oscillator. This is a very handy short term indicator, and it is saying we have more bounce on the way. It remains below the zero mark so I’m not in a rush to get invested, but I’m getting less cautious about…


Twitter Ticker ($MON)

Monsanto chatter has been germinating on StockTwits, but stockholders sipped the Roundup as it fell 3.96% to close at 76.16. Despite the hippie outcry, the GM seed business continues to thrive, but folks have taken to eating dandelions, and aren’t spraying weeds with herbicide. The stock formed a bearish triple bottom breakdown and is trading…
