Rambus (RMBS) was the strongest stock on Thursday. It has crossed its medium term resistance at $15.78 ( 20 EMA ) with strong volume. The technical daily chart shows the stock is back to a new rally as K line has just crossed on top over D line and MACD signal is still on top of 0 showing strength for the short term. A move above $16.34 opens the door to $17. I’m still Bullish on Rambus at this point.

Lehman Brothers (LEH) - The stock has support at $12.5. If the stock is able to sustain above this level, then it might go to $15 and then even to $16.76 ( 20 EMA). Support after $12.50 is at $11.92. Despite weak signal from MACD in the technical daily chart as MACD and signal line are below 0, the technical chart shows this might be a great time to buy the stock as K line has just crossed on top over D line showing buy signal while ROC is still at oversold level.. Nevertheless the stock is currently in a downtrend.

Baidu.com (BIDU) crossed its immediate resistance yesterday. It has a good base at $300 which can be used as a stop loss for long position. On the upper side, the move is likely to accelerate above $327.

Qualcomm (QCOM) had a nice surge a few weeks ago and has been consolidating that move since then. Looking at technical chart, the stock price is making higher highs and higher lows, that time frame is considered to be in an up trend. However there are some negative divergences on the technical indicators, such MACD and Full Stochastic. If it holds this area then a reasonable target is near $57.
