Texas Instruments (TXN) caught my attention today. The signal to buy was given today when the previous day high at $20.50 was taken out. The stock has been trading in a nice uptrend since the lows at 13.61 were placed in February. Daily technical indicators remain positive for now with MACD above the sell line and the RSI above 50. The stock needs to stay above 20.50 to keep the medium-term outlook positive. Hold the stock with a stop at this level. Breakout above 21.27 will take the price to 24.

Ceradyne (CRDN) - Looking at the technical daily chart, the shares of CRDN plummeted more than 13% on Tuesday and have fallen back into a former trading range between 21.30 and 17.60. The equity has also dipped back below support at its 10-day and 20-day moving averages. The near-term trend does not appear bullish, therefore there is no reason to invest in this stock now. Fresh exposures may be considered once the stock stabilizes and gets into an upward trending mode.
