Shares of Virgin Media (NASDAQ:VMED) has made a new 52 week high on Monday closing at $22.15. The stock is overbought and may need to work this condition before heading higher, however history has shown that stocks can run overbought for quite some time with a bullish MACD. Keep an eye on VMED tomorrow.

Shares of Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) recorded a new 52 week high. Short-term outlook for the stock is bullish. Remain invested with a stop-loss at $27.20. All technical indicators still point to a bull market. The technical chart above shows LVS is in a very strong upward momentum as both 50 day and 200 day moving averages are going up along with the stock. MACD and KD also shows the stock is currently in a bull market. For now the trend is still up.

General Electric (NYSE:GE) has had a hard time with resistance here but may be ready to move higher. The level which the stock may have trouble moving above is currently at $16.58. It would need to break above that level to run to $18. The technical chart shows the stock is rising as K line is on top over D line showing buy signal. However unless the stock can break above this level, don’t expect too much going from the stock.

Hemispherx Biopharma (HEB) – I like the stock as long as it remains above $.50. Further strength above $.55 ( 50 dma ) opens the door to $.65. Put her on your radar.

Other stocks to watch :

(CTIC) – Cell Therapeutics, Inc. – As long as the stock holds above the $.40 support level the intermediate-term picture should remain positive. Fresh exposures may be considered on a move past $.50.

(NASDAQ:SIRI) – Sirius XM Radio Inc. -Chart looks bullish. Keep an eye for a possible breakout over $1.10

(NYSE:BAC) – Bank of America Corporation – Watching for a close above $14.65
(NYSE:MOT)- Motorola – Watching for a close above $7.69
(NASDAQ:STEM) – StemCells, Inc. – Watching for a close above $.959
(NASDAQ:BANR) – Banner Corporation – Watching for a close above $2.5
(NASDAQ:RMBS) – Rambus – The stock was very weak today but there was buying activity near the close. I will buy only on a break above $19.73 ( 50 MA ).
(NASDAQ:AAPL) – Apple – Watching for a close above $265.99
(NASDAQ:NVDA) – NVIDIA – From a technical perspective, the stock is looking weak. RSI is trending lower and momentum is bearish.
