Stock Picks for Friday September 14, 2012

InterDigital, Inc.(NASDAQ:IDCC) has a clear key resistance line just above the 36 level, which it is approaching having gained 43 cents or more than 1.23% today, to 35.51. A move above 36.04 would confirm the breakout, with an initial target of 38.40 and secondary target of 40.68.  Stop is at 33.65. The uptrend is definitely intact, awesome medium-term hold. The lows are rising and even the peaks are nudging up and up. Additionally, technical indicators are giving positive signals as the stock trades above the 200-SMA. The RSI is also rising after having found support near its previous lows. I believe the stock can continue its medium-term uptrend and test the $40 levels in the coming weeks. With over a short interest of 6.14 Million shares and average daily volume of only 770K, the short interest ratio is at 7.9, meaning it would take 8 days for all the shares short to be covered. Any type of good news related with a potential patent sale could launch a wicked short squeeze capable of adding a 20%-25% gain to the shares in a matter of minutes as we saw last month. Keep IDCC on the radar like a HAWK lol !!

Amazon.com, Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN) had a good move today, as the stock set new 52-week highs.  The stock hit a high of $262, which is resistance for the follow through move. The technical chart shows the stock is in a bull market rally as MACD is on top of signal line and moving upwards. In addition, the medium term trend is also bullish as the stock is above 50 & 200-day moving averages with both moving averages going up. You should watch this stock closely on Friday.
