Hot Stocks to watch & Top China Stocks to buy penny stock & mid cap stocks

Tuesday's session are Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD), Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (MJN) and Quicksilver Resources Inc. (KWK).
Sears Holdings said it expects to close roughly 100 stores in a bid to revitalize its business and reduce expenses, while also reporting continued sales struggles in the latest quarter. The company's shares tumbled 9.5% to $41.50 premarket. 
Mead Johnson Nutrition said on Sunday that a new round of tests done on its Enfamil Premium Newborn infant formula found no trace of the bacteria tied to the death of a baby in Missouri. Last week national retailers including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), Walgreen Co. (WAG), Kroger Co. (KR) and Safeway Inc. (SWY) pulled a batch of the powdered infant formula from their shelves. Shares of Mead Johnson traded up 6.5% to $69.55 premarket. 

Seaspan Corp. (NYSE:SSW) is trading closest to theoretical highs but is far from being overbought. ChinaCast Education (NASDAQ:CAST), LDK Solar (NYSE:LDK) and Fushi Copperweld (NASDAQ:FSIN) have solid momentum from last week but are volatile stocks by nature. China XD Plastics (NASDAQ:CXDC) is another interesting stock to follow lately from the overbought screen. Stocks of interest on the oversold screen include Jiayuan.com International Ltd. (NASDAQ:DATE), E-House Holdings (NYSE:EJ), Baidu.com Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) and Sina Corp. (NASDAQ:SINA).
Quicksilver Resources has formed a partnership with private-equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) to construct and operate natural gas midstream services in Canada. Quicksilver Resources's shares added 3.5% to $7.20 premarket. 
MetLife Inc. (MET) said GE Capital Financial Inc. will acquire most of its U.S. retail deposit business as the insurance company looks to end its stint as a bank holding company. Financial terms of the deal, which is expected to close in the second quarter, weren't disclosed. Shares of MetLife climbed 2.9% to $32 premarket. 
Small cap ChinaCast Education (NASDAQ:CAST) and China Transinfo (NASDAQ:CTFO) are hard to read by technical indicators. These stocks had a wild ride in the past and thus investors have to exercise caution going forward.
LDK Solar (NYSE:LDK) pulled back last Friday and is looking good going ahead. But this is a high risk / high return stock, something investors should not forget. Outlook for Chinese PV manufacturers depends on outlook in Europe, something that's been very volatile in the past. Nevertheless upside is possible for the stock according to the screen below.
China XD Plastics (NASDAQ:CXDC) and Fushi Copperweld (NASDAQ:FSIN) are stocks with sound momentum. Both are trading abiove their 50-DMA and 200-DMA, a good sign for chartists. 
NYSE:EJ) has been trading in a narrow range lately and is back to 52 week lows. While the stock is not considered oversold, investors should give it a second look.
Baidu.com Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) and Sina Corp. (NASDAQ:SINA) are not oversold per say but are still among the 25 most oversold stocks today. Needless to say, both value stocks offer upside potential!

Cal-Maine Foods Inc.'s (CALM) income jumped 53% in its fiscal second-quarter as strong retail demand during the holidays and higher selling prices helped offset higher feed costs. Cal-Maine's shares rose 5.1% to $35.99 in light premarket trading. 
Perfumania Holdings Inc. (PERF) agreed to acquire Parlux Fragrances Inc. (PARL) for about $170 million in cash and stock. The deal values shares of Parlux, which jumped 95% to $6.75 in premarket trading, between $7.91 and $8.55 apiece, depending on stockholders' choice of compensation. 
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ACAD) intends to offer up to 20 million shares of its common stock, a move that could boost the number of shares outstanding by nearly 38%. Shares of the biopharmaceutical company slipped 6.5% to $1.16 in recent premarket trading. 
Watch List: 
 
Oil-and-gas exploration company Endeavour International Corp. (END) said it agreed to acquire ConocoPhillips's (COP) interest in three producing U.K. oil fields in the Central North Sea for $330 million, including about $94 million in tax attributes, building on Endeavour's North Sea holdings.
Fresh off a trademark dispute that forced Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM, RIM.T) to rename its next line of BlackBerry phones, the company is in the midst of another legal battle over the use of the name of its popular instant-messaging service, BBM, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. 
Wendy's Co. (WEN) said it plans to open about 100 restaurants in Japan over the next five years, following the recent grand opening of its first Japanese joint venture location in Tokyo. 
good sign for chartists.
OB_20111227
A good size bump last week helped offset earlier losses of Jiayuan.com International Ltd. (NASDAQ:DATE). The stock is trading just below its trading envelope and is not oversold anymore.
E-House Holdings (NYSE:EJ) has been trading in a narrow range lately and is back to 52 week lows. While the stock is not considered oversold, investors should give it a second look.
Baidu.com Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) and Sina Corp. (NASDAQ:SINA) are not oversold per say but are still among the 25 most oversold stocks today. Needless to say, both value stocks offer upside potential!

Overbought A technical condition that occurs when prices are considered too high and susceptible to a decline. Overbought conditions can be classified by analyzing the chart pattern or with indicators such as the one above. A sharp advance from $15 to $30 in 2 weeks might lead a technician to believe that a security is overbought. Or, a security is sometimes considered overbought when the stock is trading out of its trading envelope and is approaching the theoretical high. It is important to keep in mind that overbought is not necessarily the same as being bearish. It merely infers that the stock has risen too far too fast and might be due for a pullback.
Oversold A technical condition that occurs when prices are considered too low and ripe for a rally. Oversold conditions can be classified by analyzing the chart pattern or with indicators such as the one above. A sharp decline from $30 to $15 in 2 weeks might lead a technician to believe that a security is oversold. Or, a security is sometimes considered oversold when the stock is trading below its trading envelope and is approaching theoretical lows. It is important to keep in mind that oversold is not necessarily the same as being bullish. It merely infers that the security has fallen too far too fast and may be due for a reaction rally.

My Best Stock Picks For 2010 ( WEN,CYOU,BIDU,ATW,FLSR,MAR,BBY,CVX,ADR,VALE,DGI,WAC,F,GE,NUE,GOOG, )

1. Atwood Oceanics ( ATW ) 35.90 a share / target price 45.75

Atwood Oceanics, Inc., along with its international operating subsidiary, Atwood Oceanics Pacific Limited (AOPL) and related subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of international offshore drilling and completion of exploratory and developmental oil and gas wells, and related support, management and consulting services. As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s worldwide operations included nine .

offshore mobile drilling units located in five regions of the world: offshore Southeast Asia, offshore Africa, offshore Australia, the Mediterranean Sea and the United States Gulf of Mexico. As of September 30, 2009, the submersible Richmond was the only drilling unit working in the United States waters. As of November 24, 2009, the Company’s wholly owned and operating rig fleet included Atwood Eagle, Atwood Hunter, Atwood Falcon, Atwood Southern Cross, Seahawk, Atwood Aurora, Atwood Beacon, Vicksburg and Richmond

ATW's one of my favorite's because of its deepwater fleet. As long as oil prices stay above $60 - $70, they should be pretty profitable for the next few years. Increasing demand for oil and production from off-shore wells over the next few years should drive this stock price up.companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.When oil and gas take off again (and it will) ATW will prove a wise investment. With a PEG ratio of 0.46 times earnings, this stock is incredibly undervalued. Long term keeper!energy looks like it is starting to heat up again.



2. Baidu 412.00 a share / target price 600.00  

Baidu, Inc. (Baidu) is a Chinese-language Internet search provider. The Company conducts its operations in China principally through Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (Baidu Online), its wholly owned subsidiary in Beijing, China. It also conducts its operations in China through Baidu Netcom Science Technology Co., Ltd. (Baidu Netcom), which holds the licenses and approvals necessary to operate the Company’s Websites and provide online advertising services. In January 2008, the Company launched a Japanese search service at www.baidu.jp, run by Baidu Japan. The Company’s Japanese search services enable users to find relevant information online, including Web pages, images, multimedia files and blogs, through links provided on its Websites.China's Google,only more presence. And if you don't know what google has going on..you need to go NOW, and find out for yourself. With China being the fastest growing in technology and Internet access, Baidu is poised to establish itself as THE Internet in China .china has 300 million internet users... and a huge growth.Baidu is still a small cap company compared with Google.I think as we go through the recovery stage both US China stocks will continue to recover.this stock will outperform the S&P becuase its china's largest search engine. Lets say its china's google. China is still a hug growth market.Baidu has strong buying on any dips. Seems like it will not only see growth buyers but will also have some safe haven buying! this is a long term play ! buy the dips down !



3. Wendy's ( WEN ) 4.30 a share / target price 9.25 

Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc., formerly Triarc Companies, Inc., is the parent company of Wendy’s International, Inc. (Wendy’s) and Arby’s Restaurant Group, Inc. (ARG), which are the franchiser's of the Wendy’s and Arby’s restaurant systems. As of December 28, 2008, the Wendy’s restaurant system consisted of 6,630 restaurants, of which 1,406 were owned and operated by the Company. As of December 28, 2008, the Arby’s restaurant system included 3,756 restaurants, of which 1,176 were owned and operated by the Company. The Company operates in two business segments: Wendy’s and Arby’s.value buy. company restructuring and will come back. is the best burger of the big 3. international expansion.WEN is currently under-priced, considering the value of the firm, especially compared to peers. Combined sales continue to experience strong growth. During the first 3Qs of 2009, WEN has achieved over $2.7 billion in sales vs. $1.8 for the entire 2008 period.I like that they continue to attack their debt to get it lower to more favorable industry comps.LONG TERM THIS WILL BE 20+ in 2010 beyond. Great buy at this level.1- Significant cost cutting. In this environment it counts as earnings.2- Arby's sales may begin to stabilize and therefore stop being a drag on Wendys which is doing just fine3- Tons of cash to jump on any opportunities that may arise as small players become to throw awa the towels.4- A disaster 3rd quarter is already priced in the stock after UBS downgraded the stock to neutral from buy but kept $5 target on it.5- The hedge fund that own over 25% of WEN shares will keep WEN stock exciting especilaly after the company succeeded in rasing a lot of cash from their bond issuiance.6- All you need is another hedge fund to show interest in WEN to see the stock po. Best example is RAD wgen was trading at a 1$ then jumped to $3 overnight when hedge funds began to load up on the stock. 7- International potential, expansion, dual branding, breakfast, cost cutting, synergies, efficiencies, better executions, new product developments etc...all of this in under war.Patient investors will be rewards nicely for holding this baby for a year or so. But for quick money get out when WEN announces 3rd quarter results. Take your money and run to a near-buy wendys for a spicy chicken sandwich combo,) Cost savings- This is pretty much standard for any company turnaround, but the Wendy's/Arby's dual-branded restaurants have had early success in cutting costs2) Breakfast Menu- Wendy's currently does not participate much in breakfast sales. While this menu generally carries lower prices, breakfast accounts for 22% of industry wide traffic.That said, the Wendy's brand generates only about 2.2% of its sales from the first meal of the day. The majority of that figure, furthermore, came only from the testing of breakfast menus in about 10% of the company's restaurants. The tests have been successful to date, and Wendy's is planning to have rolled out that meal in all of its locations by 2011. Arby's has also worked hard to expand its offering in recent years by generating buzz in other products away from its traditional roast beef sandwiches. 3) International Expansion- Of the more than 10,000 total locations between the two brands, only about 850 are located outside of the U.S. -- and the majority of those are in Canada. Even so, earlier this year the company teamed with a Saudi- based company to build 135 dual-branded restaurants in the Middle East and North Africa. Wendy's also has plans to open another 35 locations in Singapore. In the meantime, there appears to be plenty of potential for the company to open other restaurants in Europe and and other areas of the world in which its larger competitors continue to enjoy success !


4. ChangYou.com ( CYOU ) 32.28 a share target price 42.00

Changyou.com Limited is a China-based online game developer and operator. The Company is a subsidiary of Sohu.com. The Company was previously the online game division of Sohu.com. ChangYou.com Limited has unveiled its first product and creates online role-playing games for the Chinese market. The Company’s products include a fantasy two dimensional (2-D) martial-arts saga called Tian Long Ba Bu, based on a book that translates into Novel of Eight Demigods. Chinese demographics and the recent economic slowdown will make CYOU a major winner. First, multi-player fantasy games are embedded in Chinese culture. American teenagers watch TV, play basketball, and hang out at the mall.Great market...huge demand...popular franchises...Low costs. This company is M$ney for the long term investor !Ridiculously profitable at 54% net profit margin. Record revenue and rising. Economy hasn't impacted Changyou much, outperformed guidance in recent quarters. New games in 2010 and 2011 in favorable demographics in china !fast growing sector period ....


5. Chevron ( CVX ) 76.90 a share / target price 99.00

Chevron Corporation (Chevron) manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, and provides administrative, financial, management and technology support to the United States and International subsidiaries that engage in fully integrated petroleum operations, chemicals operations, mining operations of coal and other minerals, power generation and energy services. Exploration and production (upstream) operations consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas, and also marketing natural gas. Refining, marketing and transportation (downstream) operations relate to refining crude oil into finished petroleum products; marketing crude oil and the many products derived from petroleum, and transporting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car. In April 2009, Reliance Industries Limited bought back Chevron Corporation's 5% stake in Reliance Petroleum Limited..Peak oil? Only for those operators who've not replaced reserves being depleted. Chevron is more than replacing, pumping more, and is geared for long-term success. High Dividend Yield, Low Payout Ratio, and insider ownership at 2% make for a very attractive purchase to anyone. (on top of 19% ROE and 42 Billion in earnings )gas prices will start going up again soon. We've seen $4/gal gas before - it's just a matter of time... Long term this will only go up. Demand for oil will continue to grow as china and India continue their path toward greater levels of industrialization. Every day people who have never owned a vehicle are buying one for the first time. This trend will not reverse but will exponentially grow as the populations exponentially grow. This company has the most solid managers in all of the business with extensive upstream experience.

6. Vale ( ADR ) 27.25 a share / Target price 41.00 

Vale S.A., formerly Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, is a metals and mining company. The Company is also a producer of iron ore and iron ore pellets. It also produces manganese ore, ferroalloys and kaolin. It also produces bauxite, alumina, aluminum, copper, coal, cobalt, precious metals, potash and other products. The Company operates logistics systems in Brazil, including railroads, maritime terminals and a port, which are integrated with its mining operations. Directly and through affiliates and joint ventures, it has investments in the energy and steel businesses. Its principal nickel mines and processing operations are conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary Vale Inco Limited (Vale Inco), which has mining operations in Canada and Indonesia. It owns and operates, or has interests in, nickel refining facilities in the United Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China. In March 2009, the Company sold its stake in Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA..Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (Vale) is a Brazil-based company engaged in the metal and mining industries. The Company provides components for such products as appliances, electronic equipment, cars, computers and construction materials, among others. The Company is also active in the exploration of iron ore, nickel, aluminum, copper, coal, cobalt, precious metals, potassium and other minerals. Vale operates logistic systems in Brazil, including railroads and maritime terminals, which are related to the mining operations. The Company's main subsidiaries are Brasilux SA, Companhia Paulista de Ferro Ligas, CVRD Overseas Ltd and Docepar SA, among others.Copper and commodities will continue to climb while the rest of the market flounders.RIO is a complicated company. I like it a lot though. My fairly uneducated glimpse of the industry leads me to believe that Vale is more agile than other competitors because it's smaller than rivals Rio Tinto and BHP.Long term I think that this is a young Oracle of Omaha pick.More countries than the U.S. are planning on infrastrusture to help rebound their economy.This company provides a necessary materials to worldwide clients. RIO has outperformed the market for several years and I believe the current downturn in the price of RIO is only a result of the slump in the US economy and stock market.Brazil's Vale the world's largest iron ore producer, has declared force majeure on some iron ore cargoes destined for China, helping lift the spot price of the raw material to a new record. The surge in spot prices makes it more difficult for steel mills to limit price increases in ongoing negotiations for next year with the world top miners. With iron ore at an all time high and a shortage of raw material forcing Chinese mills to scale back production in November after a record output of 42.92 million tonnes in October. Chinese steel output dropped to 39.69 million tonnes last month, its lowest level since March. If RIO can increase output and clear some of the congestion at ports it could have a solid 2009. Vale raised 18.4 billion real($11.5 billion) after underwriting discounts and commissions, the biggest share offering ever by a company in Latin America's largest economy. The funds will be used for general corporate purposes which may include strategic purchases. In 2007, Vale purchased Inco Ltd., a nickel miner. The company is also spending $59 billion over five years for investments into the company.Obama's infrastructure plan plus China's and India's economic growth as well as other emerging markets will position RIO very well in the long run..



7. DigitalGlobe Inc ( dgi ) 24.01 a share / Target price 30.00

Their nearest Competitor GeoEye Inc. had the technological lead since February when they launched the GeoEye-1. Last week DigitalGlobe launched their WorldView II imaging satellite and recaptured the most advanced technology title. Relief over the successful launch of this $283 million satellite, and the out of this world profit potential it can provide, should send the stock soaring to new heights.Excellent products for defense industry as well as commercial market. History of good reliable products that dominate their market. Solid management team with proven record of growth.This is a good company, but too speculative at this point for me to plan any long on it, so i'm gonna short and walk. I hope it pans out for you long term stock pickers.


8. Walter Investment Management Corp ( WAC ) 14.38 a share / target price 21.00

Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. is a specialty finance company whose principal business is to generate net interest income on its portfolio of mortgage loans and mortgage securities backed by mortgage loans on a leveraged basis. The Company avoids investments in sub-prime or Alt-A loans or securities collateralized by sub-prime or Alt-A loans. It leverages its purchases of mortgage securities with borrowings obtained primarily through the use of sales with agreements to repurchase the securities. The Company conducts its operations as a real estate investment trust (REIT) and has one primary subsidiary, Hanover Capital Partners 2, Ltd. (HCP-2). In April 2009, Walter Industries, Inc. announced the completion of the separation of its Financing business and the merger of that business with Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc. to create Walter Investment Management Corp. Diluted dividend should be about .35 which gives us a 10.% return. WAC works with delinguent mortagees to keep them in their homes and keep them paying what they can until values increase. with their added cash from stock issuance, the don't need to take their book loses and can hold them until they recover. In time this will happen .Government spending to improve the mortgage industry may work...if it does, this REIT seems well positioned to make a quick buck and then die off again, so I'll make some money while the sun is shining with this call! Spun off by WLT (Walter's Energy) and merged with Hanover Capital Mortgage, is a REIT that manages a 1.8 billion dollar portfolio of Sub-prime, prime and non-conformingl (ie Moblil Homes) Mortgages ( with a delinquency rate under 6%). Insiders have recently gobbled up shares at a furious clip taking the stock price from 7 to just under 14 in less than 2 weeks. This, in spite of generous stock grants. One director, also Chairman of WLT, took down almost 2 million dollars worth of stock in three separate buys in the open market. The only revenue this company has at present is the yield from the mortgages, but with all the gov't programs, and the mortgage servicing and insurance divisions, there could be substantial earnings power hidden by all the recent machinations required to merge the companies. Not much info available since the merger was completed only a month ago, so you really need to read every SEC filing. It should yield almost 15% around $14, and the $1.8B portfolio could be a hidden value should the economy improve.

This year for Black Friday it is estimated that Best Buy will receive a 40% increase in traffic. Everybody might be saying Walmart will drive out the competition, but with the economy turning around there is going to be something more customers are going to be looking for besides low prices, and that's product knowledge.

11.First Solar, Inc ( FSLR ) 133.10 / target price 195.00  
First Solar, Inc. designs and manufactures solar modules using a thin film semiconductor technology. The Company’s solar modules employ a thin layer of cadmium telluride semiconductor material to convert sunlight into electricity. Each solar module is approximately 2 feet by 4 feet (60 centimeters by 120 centimeters) and had an average rated power of approximately 73 watts, during the fiscal year ended December 27, 2008. Its solar module is a single-junction polycrystalline thin film structure that uses cadmium telluride as the absorption layer and cadmium sulfide as the window layer. The Company’s solar power systems and project development business provides a variety of integrated services to its customers as part of a system solution delivery. These services include solar power system design, procurement of permits and balance of system components, construction management, monitoring and maintenance.FSLR's margins decreased in the last quarter due to discounts given during the recession, but 120 is about as cheap as this company will be for a while. While new, more cost-effective designs could rock the solar industry at any time, FSLR is the company rocking this industry and their PE is only 17 (I say only compared to other tech stocks). Their thin film cells are cheaper than any other solar panel out there. They win oodles of contracts, including in China where they compete against homegrown like STP and YGE. A Buffett moat separates FSLR from its competition in an industry that will outperform the market as a whole for the next few years. Excellent fundamentals -- Copenhagen conference appears to be catalyzing at this time. Long-term play as well as cheaper dollar gives lowest production cost per watt .Beaten down still great business potential. Lot´s of cash, dominant market position, little debt. strong track record. Looking for a surprise in 2010 results.Great patents on their thin, light weight panels. A leader in this area.

12. Ford ( F ) 10.00 a share / target price 15.00 
New, environmentally-focused product lineup rolling out now and especially through 2010. Ford has demonstrated an understanding of what spurs consumer car-buying, recession or not. Economy cars and light utility vehicles with a high standard of quality are a ubiquitous desire for almost every American and American family. Staying out of the government's pocket has done wonders for its reputation throughout the last 6 months, and Ford will continue to grow. A slowdown in sales due to the jolt from CARS will see this stock dip in the short-term, but F is a great long-term bet.


Stick it out with Ford. The clash for clunkers is ramping up their production so can expect them to climb in the near future. Plus, they are not being directly monitored by the government as GM is so there potential should be greater in the months to come.Ford has been moving their pieces behind the scenes. They were well prepared to stand alone when their competitors were grabbing their ankles for Uncle Sam. As a long standing client of Goldman Sachs, I believe the Wall Street bank has had some influence in guiding Ford through the recent mine fields. Ford was crying broke, many years ago. They knew they had to make a change in the amount of fuel their products were using. And now they are ready to satisfy the consumers with their low milege cars and trucks. It's Great to see FORD MOTORS stay independent.Recently pulled back 15% from a 52 wk high. I expect F to bounce back. Should benefit from Cash for Clunkers program in Q3 and beat earnings expectations. "Now" it's their turn to make money. I see Ford ( F ) going to 15.00 a share by year end 2010 !we could be 1 or 2 upgrades away from a serious breakout here. A Great two year plus .they started to build great cars again. Their ecoboost engines are something for todays youth to fall in love with . admit this is a very long-term, deep value play for a buy, hold, and forget about it for several years type of investment.

1) My investment hypothesis is that F will become the last surviving “BIG 3” domestic car manufacturer in the U.S. Chrysler will disappear first. GM will be picked apart by Ford and other non-domestic car manufacturers. There is no way that the country/company that developed the Model-T will allow F not to be in existence. National pride.

2) F avoided bankruptcy and did not take any government aid. Both Chrysler and GM did take aid and entered into bankruptcy protection.

3) In November, Ford reported a third-quarter profit of nearly $1 billion and said it would be solidly profitable in two years.

4) Yes, F has a huge balance sheet risk due to its leveraging nearly every $ of its assets three years ago. But in the last year, F paid down nearly $10 billion of its debt, but with the cost of some common share dilution by issuing $1.6 billion in stock.

5) Positive results are starting to bud. Dec. 4Q09 EPS estimates have increased from -$0.12 to $0.24 – an improvement of $0.36 that occurred over the past 90 days.

6) Potential lack of innovation is another potential risk. But F’s CEO, Alan Mulally, recently addressed this concern as follows, “Borrowing and improved cash position has allowed Ford to revamp its product lineup so it will soon be the freshest in the industry. He made the statements in the Detroit suburb of Wayne, at a former truck factory being retooled to make the new European version of the Focus compact car.”

7) Trading risk. At a current price of $9.68, I believe shares of F are trading somewhat ahead of themselves. But the chart looks positive when analyzing the 200, 100, and 50 day exponential moving average (EMA).

8) The street does not absolutely love F shares. Which I believe is a good thing and potentially a good time to build a position before the street does
Ford was my call last year when it was around 6.oo a share , since then we are up 70% !

Lots of growth and very diversified. Hit a bump in the road that has been over rated to with GE Financial. I am in for the long term.... GE Capital likely to turn around by 2011. They have a strong cash position and could increase the dividend soon..?health , rails, green energy stimulus money .GE has the potential to become the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world. Lastly, good dividend, cash flow and GE will decrease they debt load..

People say it's overvalued. According to the S&P, Google's fair value today is $633 .Strong fundamentals.Google will increase revenue with mobile ads.Great search engine, (almost) everybody uses it, and its free! Great stock.Google stock has done well over the last so many months in reaching those high price levels that it once was. Given the fact that it has already made a big return this year, I still think that Google will go higher. The company has the best fundamentals I have seen since I started analyzing stocks, and I saw that there was still some room to grow. Because of the fundamentals and the fact that I think Google is a great company is why I think the stock will continue to rise.
