We discussed where we are in the cycle and what an investor needs to do to pick the winners in this depressed sector. The last time Marin and I spoke, he called the coming downturn. He thinks it’s going to continue for a while but there’s hope. As long as able managers such as Keith Neumeyer stick around, there’s potential for large gains ahead. * Contains sponsored material.

Stocks To Watch: ISIL, CBAY, HDS, FB

( click to enlarge )

Intersil Corp (NASDAQ:ISIL) broke the downtrend line last week on decent volume and looks like it is taking a little breather here before moving back above the $13.70 zone which would be the next buy point. If momentum continues as I expect next week, I think there are lot of profits left on the table for traders to capitalize on. Options traders are buying calls. A quick look at the technical daily chart : 

1) MACD lines are going up 
2) RSI still above the neutral 50 level at 54, buyers strength still persists. 
3) CMF is positive 
4) The +DI crossed up through the -DI las week - Bullish. 
5) OBV still climbing. 
6) The accumulation/distribution indicator shows the stock is under strong accumulation 

Honestly speaking, there is some upside potential, which makes it worth watching for the next few days. Keep watching the stock.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) has been consolidating the past few days and just recently started inching above most of the consolidation zone. Volume is starting to pick up and there could be a decent short squeeze if it clears the 83.20 level. On watch.

Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ) — This leading maker of computers, printers and servers has a large service and support network.
On May 21, Hewlett-Packard reported fiscal second-quarter earnings of $0.87 per share, beating the consensus estimate by a penny.
