Why Facebook, Twitter and Jumei Shares Are Poised for Gains


NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here are three excellent swing trade ideas, stock moves that can be captured by traders in a matter of a few days: Twitter (TWTR) , Facebook (FB) and Jumei International (JMEI) .
The first is Twitter. The social messaging network is fast expanding around the world. Shares of the San Francisco-based company were trading at $49.49 on Thursday. That's not too far above where shares traded on the day of the company's IPO ($44.90), but now the chart is signaling it is time to look forward.

After dipping to about $32 in May, Twitter made a quick recovery and then got a boost after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results. Now that the stock has broken out above $48, we expect it to hold its gains and move steadily higher. Our suggested entry level for a trade would be $48-$49, and the target would be $56.
The second stock is Facebook, the large, well-known social media company. FB's shares have been in an unstoppable uptrend after it posted strong second-quarter 2013 earnings and saw an acceleration in the mobile market. Facebook has continued to expand and make bold acquisitions to secure its leading position in the industry. The stock's trend is in line with the company's growth.
The stock was trading at $73.98 midday Thursday. The stock is in a clear uptrend with higher highs and higher lows. Price action is in favor of the bulls:
  1. It is in an uncharted zone with no serious resistance above it.
  2. The stock formed a range following its latest earnings report and is now ready to break out of that range.
  3. The company is in a leading position in its industry.
  4. Suggested entry level: $75-$76. Target: None.

The third stock is Jumei International, a fast-growing Chinese online retailer with a focus on beauty products and an expanding product line. This company is young, was founded in 2010, and is led by a passionate CEO, Leo Chen.

Traditionally speaking, online retailing is a very difficult business in which to make profits. There's a lot of competition. Jumei, however, has managed to post net income since 2012 and scored seven consecutive profit-making quarters. That is miraculous for a young start-up company.
The stock is trading at $31.33 at midday Thursday and is resting near its previous resistance level, which now serves as support. This is a playable place because after the company posted another better-that-expected earnings report, the stock sold off hard. But that selloff could shake out all of the weak investors and give and give real buyers a chance to increase their positions. The active entry is around $34.00-$35.50, and the target is $45 by the end of the year. At the time of publication, the author owned shares of FB.
