Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) tanked today after the company priced their stock offering at $3.15. The stock is now below the $3.25 per share that the Government bought at. Whats next for Citigroup? I honestly wouldn't touch this stock unless you are willing to hold it for the long term. When the stock closes back over the 10 day moving average, I could be good for a trade. Jim Cramer of CNBC says to buy buy buy at this price.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 10308 on 12/17/09, as the stock market tanked on another weak trading day for the financials. Stocks such as BAC & C were lower due to the recent equity offerings. BAC broke $15 which caused additional selling in the afternoon.

Tonight we will receive earnings out of RIMM, PALM, and ORCL which could move the technology sector Friday. I am expecting upside if RIMM reports earnings of $1.06 and provides good guidance.

The S&P 500 fell back below 1100 on Thursday. Support is located between 1080-1085, if this area is violated, you could really see some big sellers start to liquidate positions going into 2010. Keep an eye on 1080.

Stocks to Watch - 12/18/09 - Stock Market Ideas

Discuss Stocks - http://stockstobuy.org


Sunesis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SNSS) - SNSS rebounded Tuesday which provided a great morning trade. The stock then failed close to $1.74 and pulled back. For a trade, i'd be a buyer of a break above $1.74 or a pullback to $1.30ish.

Delta Petroleum Corp. (DPTR) - DPTR has finally cooled off after a huge surge this week. I will be waiting for the stock to break through the high of the day and then I will jump back in for a trade. Support is located at $1.19 which is the 50 day moving average.

Rite Aid Corp. (RAD) - RAD stock rallied Thursday on better then expected earnings. The stock is going to close over the 50 day moving average, something that hasn't happened since late September. The next major resistance level is all the way up at $1.62....keep RAD on your watchlist.

Hemispherx Biopharma, Inc. (HEB) - HEB jumped after the company came out with a PR Thursday addressing issues with their CFS Drug, Ampligen. The stock is set to close back over the 10 day moving average which is bullish. Keep an eye on HEB.

Research In Motion Ltd. (RIMM) - All eyes will be on RIMM Thursday night as the company will be reporting earnings. I'd say anything above $1.06 EPS and decent guidance will move the stock higher. I will be buying RIMM if I see a pullback below $60.00. Resistance = $67.

Bank of America Corp (BAC) - Bank of America Corporation continues to hold support which is the recent stock offering price of $15.00. A break below this level would be bearish for BAC and the stock market. Keep an eye on this situation. I plan to buy BAC when it closes back over the 50 day moving average located at $16.01.

American Intl Group, Inc. (AIG) - AIG continues the recent downtrend. I plan to buy AIG when the stock breaks above $30. AIG must hold $27.40 or $25 could be tested.

Direxion Daily Financial Bear 3X Shares (FAZ)
Daily Finan. Bull 3X Shs(ETF)(FAS) - Well, FAS finally broke $70 again as the financials were under pressure on Thursday. I would be a buyer of FAS below $68 for a snap back rally trade into the $70's.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) - Waiting to buy when LVS closes above It's 50 day moving average located at $16.23.

Freddie Mac (FRE) - Support = $1.24 - Resistance = $1.34

Fannie Mae (FNM) - Support = $1.02 - Resistance $1.13
