CIEN: Longterm IT Play

I was led on a wild goose hunt after reading articles like this Bandwidth Shortage.

It finally brought me to Ciena.  This seems like a great play on networking issues.

Ciena provides communications networking equipment, software, and services that support the transport, switching, aggregation, and management of voice, video, and data traffic.

Credit Suisse upgraded this to outperform 1/19/2010.

My initial target is 16.60 but I plan on keeping this for a long time after that.

HITK: Generic Pharma

The large volume breakout area held as support, the gap from 12/9/2009 will be the stop loss. 

Hi-Tech Pharmacal is another cutting-edge health care company. While big pharma is spending billions on research for the next blockbuster drug, HITK is finding innovative ways to challenge patents and deliver the same prescriptions to consumers at a much cheaper price.Hi-Tech's latest earnings rose 566.7% to $7.4 million, or 60 cents per share, compared with $1.1 million, or 9 cents per share, in the same quarter a year ago. In the past month, the analyst community has revised its earnings estimate 29.6% higher in anticipation of another strong report in early 2010. (TheStreet.com)

ASYS: Breakout soon?

Chart is hanging at resistance.. Looks like consolidation before a breakout to me.  With the solar stocks breaking out lately (see JASO, SOLF, FSLR..), this supplier should go right with them:

GMCR: Time for a quick short?

GMCR has been rocketing upwards lately, but it looks a little top heavy here with those nice high wicks.  Be very careful playing with fire,  this is in a SERIOUS uptrend.  Have your sell button ready if this starts to fall.. be ready to take quick profits on the short side if it drops, no need to hold onto a short in a huge uptrend.  GMCR could reward you with a quick move down here before it resumes its uptrend... Be patient and wait for a down day in the markets, I feel like this will get killed with overall market weakness.

GILD: Long term buy?

GILD looks good at these levels for a few months worth of buy and hold in the retirement account... with a clean 10% stop loss of course near 41.

This could move up on the hopes of their new HIV drug combo.

GOOG: Time to buy?

GOOG is intriguing here after that big pullback today.  It fell back to support near the highs of April 2008.  This drop is a hangover from the Nexus One announcement... probably a decent entry to go long... WITH A STOP OF COURSE.

Did you see the nexus one? http://www.google.com/phone 

Also, as of Wednesday's google phone announcement.. drum roll please...

The first ever advertisement on the Google homepage!.. check it out www.Google.com

The Nexus One has some real potential for GOOG... Think of how amazing that advertising slot on the google homepage is.. Best advertising money can buy (and its all theirs.. and free)

Looks great for a longterm hold... I wouldn't be surprised if this makes a new high over the next year or two since the Dreamliner is now in test-flight mode. A slow and steady double? A great retirement portfolio pick. (weekly chart)

DNDN: FDA approval

DNDN chart looks OK.. but I'm more interested in the FDA approval of Provenge.. coming soon (May 1st deadline):

Might want to try a ratio strangle (maybe 2:1 or 3:2 bullish tilt) on this one because it could go either way.

TWC: Short?

I like this for a potential longer term short.  Disputes with FOX and other companies could lead to increased costs for TWC as new contracts are being created for the new year.  They would be forced to pass the cost onto customers at a time with 10% unemployment.  I pose the question: For a financially responsible citizen (assuming there are some left), what is the first thing to go when your bills are piling up?  I think its cable:
