The market may be up firmly today, but that doesn't mean it's all sunshine and roses for every stock. Two of our three today pose a bullish upside, but one of them looks like it's headed lower. Let's take a closer look at United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ:UTHR), Ronn Motor Company, Inc. (PINK:RNNM), and TerreStar Corporation (NASDAQ:TSTR). 

I've seen the promoters come out swinging for Ronn Motor Company, Inc. (PINK:RNNM) shares before, and I suspect that's what's going on behind today's 25% gain. That said, the company did have some good news today.

Don't get me wrong though - this isn't about the company's news. I'm interested in going long on RNNM for two simple (combined) reasons... it's oversold, and today's volume spike should get the attention of the market. Other investors should follow suit, seeing the same chart of Ronn Motor Company and decide to pile in. You could make the argument that the outside reversal bar from Ronn Motor Co. shares is also a clue, and perhaps it is. I don't personally think candlestick clues mean quite as much when the float is this small, but it doesn't hurt.

This isn't a long-term call on RNNM; the pop should provide enough fuel for only several days worth of upside, perhaps up to the $0.40-ish area at best.

We actually issued a bearish call on United Therapeutics Corporation (NASDAQ:UTHR) back on September 23rd. I just wanted to update my thoughts on the chart after the recent failure to pop back above a key resistance line.

The $43.58 mark has proven to be a big deal for United Therapeutics Corporation shares. It was a ceiling in June, support in October, and a ceiling again last week. That last instance is the one I'm most interested in when it comes to UTHR... we really needed that line to hold the stock lower to justify sticking with our short/bearish trade. Just as helpful is the fact that United Therapeutics Corporation is down today despite a very strong 'up' day for the market.

I still contend that UTHR is ultimately going to close the May gap at $33.69, but I'll also warn you I see support at $40.00.



Trading TerreStar Corporation (NASDAQ:TSTR) shares - and I do mean trading rather than investing - has been pretty fruitful over the last several months. Moreover, it's also been fairly predictable. That's why I'm excited about today's setup.

The chart basically tells the tale as well as I could. TerreStar Corporation shares found support around (though not exactly at) prior support levels, and have broken back above a falling resistance line over the last three days. If TSTR can get and stay above the floor at $1.18, I see no reason why the stock can't roll back up to the $2.00/$2.50 area.

The one thing TerreStar Corporation's chart is missing this far is volume; we'll need more buyers to get TSTR over the hump at $1.18. I'll just keep it on the watchlist until then.

When the recession hit, Audiovox was already in the process of cutting its fat, whereas other companies were only just beginning.

As incredible as it may seem, despite the 2.3% tumble we’ve seen the PowerShares QQQ Trust (ETF) (NASDAQ:QQQQ) suffer over the last week and a half, the fund is still not in a heap of technical trouble…. at least not on the surface. If you look at the bigger picture of the underlying market though, [...]

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) has just broken a seven-month support line. Though the relatively unharmful 1.7% dip today hasn’t unwound the bulk of the gains for that timeframe - or even the gains for the last couple of weeks - the weight of those gains has quietly been taking a toll on SPY.

If you’re a fan of trading the SPDR S&P 500 Fund (NYSE:SPY), or any index vehicle for that matter, you may want to put your bearish hat on. It’s no secret that the market’s been sinking for the last few days - we’ve seen plenty of ebb and flow since March. What traders may not [...]

Wow. It’s not too often stocks lose a collective 3% within the first 5 minutes of trading. I suspected we were due for a nasty pullback (the kind of dip I forecasted on Thursday), and sure enough, here it is. The S&P 500 has now given up 4.8% from Thursday’s high. Is this enough to [...]

The bulls certainly fought back hard in the second half of Friday's session, turning yet-another big loss into fairly decent gains. Was this the reversal sign we've been waiting for, or merely a fake-out move? Thoughts on the matter are below. First though, highlights from this week's community commentary...

Is New Leaf Brands Inc. (OTC:NLEF) going to follow in the footsteps of Cadbury and land a big suitor (at a premium)? Maybe. We'll check out this young and growing company below. First though, let's take a look at this week's 'best' of from the community pages. The shortened list looks at Hana Biosciences...
