Rambus shares spiked on the news

Chart courtesy of stockcharts Rambus – Early in the morning I was surprised with bombastic news for RMBS. According to Bloomberg , Rambus the designer of chips of chips for Sony Corp's Playstation video game console, might collect royalties of as much as $10 bln, six times its market value, by winning a seven year fight with Hynix Semiconductor. After claiming the world's second largest memory chip maker infringed on patents it owned, Rambus won a $133.4 mln award in 2006. To collect, it must now win a trial next month over the South Korean manufacturer's claim that the Los Altos, California-based company illegally used information obtained at industry meetings in the 90s to get the patents. WOW this is huge men…..I’m now in, prepared for any kind of situation. This could be a money machine $$$$. Technically stock is now in a Bullish mode, stock price is above 20,50 and 200 daily moving average, also MACD back again above 0 indicating a Bullish market. High relative volume during this movement is another bullish indication that the stock will continue higher.

Chart courtesy of stockcharts ICO - The stock is approaching again the $6.11 level which typically acts as resistance, so keep an eye on her for a possible breakout. Chart courtesy of stockcharts Looking at above chart, it shows that RIMM is in a downtrend that began in November. The key point of this analyze is to show that Research in motion is moving in a clear downward channel. Well, when this happen, there are two ways to play such a pattern. First, you can basically short the stock for the period of the pattern. Second, you can trade aggressively shorting when the stock reaches the top of the channel and buying when it reaches the lower bound. So, I think that both options can work fine as long as you pay attention, however you should be very attention for a possible break of the trend. So, looking at RIMM, stock has found a nice support level around $90, and is gaining some strength to move up according to the indicators, like MACD and RSI. The MACD is showing a positive divergence, after which the MACD made a bullish crossover. So, if you are shorting this stock since awhile, pay attention to these factors.
