Sonic (NYSE: SONC)
Unless a string of buyout rumours start with Sonic, we would not recommend the stock at this time. Technically, the charts are poor for Sonic. The stock’s been in a downtrend since April and the 30, 50 and now even the 200 d... med bear

Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE: DUK)
In our opinion, Duke Energy has limited upside in the near future due to continued weak power demand and the strong possibility of a dilutive stock offering late this year. While Duke is seeing some stabilization in industrial kil... neutral
The Southern Company (NYSE: SO)

New York Community (NYSE: NYB)

Peoples United (NASDAQ: PBCT)
People’s United has been on a nasty downtrend since April, but on both the weekly and daily technical charts, the stock seems much oversold. Based on valuation, People’s United looks a very smart play. Fundamentally, w... med bull
Hudson City Bancorp (NASDAQ: HCBK)
Like People’s United, Hudson City has been sluggish since mid-April. We looked at the technical charts and noted that the downtrending 50 day moving average has been playing the role of a resistance barrier. As the stock is ... med bull
Investors Bancorp (NASDAQ: ISBC)
Shares of Investors Bancorp were absolutely hammered in the month of August. The stock better turn its fortunes around quickly lest it be a victim of the infamous “death cross”. The 50 and 200 day MA are both downtrend... med bear
