Himax Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIMX) gained 4% to 83 cents per share after analysts at Rosenblatt Securities upgraded their rating to BUY with a PT of $9. From a technical standpoint the stock is trying to break the downtrend line visible on the chart above (yellow mark). If it breaks this key resistance level, bulls may expect it to run toward $7. With MACD rising and %K line on top of %D line, the major rally of the stock may be finally coming. Im long.

MELA Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:MELA) The stock closed the day at $1.62 on decent volume and looks poised to post more gains heading into the weekend. I expect this stock to trade above $2 in the near term after today's strong close above the 20-day EMA. Keep it on your watch list.

MEI Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:MEIP) The daily technical chart shows a stock that is right on the cusp of a breakout. If price can break through its 20-day exp moving average, then I think 2.44 level could be well within reach. Nice slow steady accumulation in last days, MFI rising. Keep it on your watch list.

Congratulations to those who took a chance on IsoRay, Inc. (NYSEMKT:ISR) in PM after my tweet alert. This stock skyrocketted 93% on heavy volumn to $3.12 per share following the announcement that its IsoRay's Cesium-131 lung cancer treatment reported a 96% success in local control and a 100 percent survival at 5 years in high risk patients in a newly published report. I'd keep a close eye on this stock Thursday morning and I would expect some follow through buying along with some profit taking. On watch.
