    Well, Bollinger bands are indicating consolidation near-term, slow Stochastics are bullish and MACD is moving towards a buy signal but slowly..how you interpret the signals is a matter of interpretation.

    Ray, tough to tell where SM valuations are going. I like how ZNGA is managing its money, but the challenges of monetization are leaving investors wary about future revs. If you’re going to roll the dice, though, ZNGA isn’t a bad choice!

    Just placed a limit order at $37.50 on $EZCH to add to my position. Good story here – cash flow improving, earnings solid. Tech indicators are not signaling a buy yet but performance vs. industry has been trending up.

    • Good move. Some technical analysis says buy as for short term. Mid term not much yet too soon, there is a hint that may shift the trends. I’ll may give a run down when I get back next week.

    Their purchase of ExtremIO looks to be signaling a pop in flash memory for enterprise storage. Flash drives are expected to replace a significant portion of traditionally disk-based enterprise storage. Reduced power consumption is one of the benefits. I am tracking both $EMC and $MU.

    David, technicals don’t support a strong run but there may be some upside mid-term. Trading below 50 MA and it looks oversold but I cannot see a point below .00375 where I would get in. If it breaks above .004 I may take a flyer out on them

    $NBR gapped up on better than expected revs and OI. They’ll be bringing 2 new rigs online early next year and they appear to be weathering the falling nat gas prices. MACD is turning up. It looks like all the industry leaders are ahead of expectations. Increased US production is leading the way.

    $AMAT has been getting beaten up lately. I’m initiating a covered strangle @ $12. Anybody holding App Materials?

    • Marcel replied 1 year ago

      Alex, I have held AMAT through this downturn. The news is not good for DRAM, and they expect to continue spending at 2011 levels plus the acquisition of Novellus ($NVLS), so I think downward pressure will continue until their announcement in July.

      • Paul replied 1 year ago

        $AMD, $TXN, $AMD and $INTC all beat estimates. Inventories are shrinking and backlog for many is growing.Could be a great Q2!

    Yes, it jumped on the news of patent sales to Microsoft. The MACD is looking bearish, as it was prior to the announcement. I like support @ 21.49 and will put in a stop @ 21.50. May have to cover with puts, though. Thanks, Cyber!
