Twitter is still acting great ever since their 201402 earnings breakout. Investors wanting a loose stop can comfortably put one at $42.75; while more aggressive traders can place one around short term support of $44.30. $TWTR announced that they will launch an E-commerce platform after the market closed this past Friday. This could result in a gap up Monday morning. My first target is $48 for this name, but I like for it to breakout above $48 as well, and think we can see low $50's in the near term.

YY Inc. is a "hot" Chinese internet stock. $YY bounced off it's 21 day exponential moving average and formed a bullish engulfing candle on the daily chart and also formed a bullish engulfing candle. RSI is pointing upwards and all time highs are just above at $89.70. Entry is placed slightly above the bullish engulfing candle high ($87.93), stop at $84. I'm looking for a breakout and potential push to $100. $90 is my first target.

Proto Labs Inc. is one of the larger (market cap of 2 Billion) 3D printing names in the space. $PRLB formed a piercing line candlestick pattern on the daily after a steady short term downtrend. I'm watching for confirmation of the bullish reversal and will enter on a break of the top of the candle at $77.36. Stop at $75.80.

Huntsman Corp is a major diversified Chemicals company. $HUN formed an evening star candlestick formation on it's daily chart, and also closed below it's 50-day moving average which it hasn't been able to recapture with any conviction since a Mid-July break. Stochastics just touched overbought territory and are now pointing down. My entry will be at $27.12 (right below the low of Friday's candle) assuming it doesn't gap down too far. Stop at $27.80 (top of the star) and first target is $25.75.

BJ's Restaurant Inc. is competing against the likes of McDonald's, Starbucks, Yum, etc. No small feat. Equally as worrisome is the bearish engulfing candlestick it formed on Friday after a nice uptrend. It also appears to have possibly formed a near term double top, albeit a fairly crude looking one. I'm watching for confirmation and will enter $BJRI on a break of Friday's low at $35.70. Stop at $37.25. Last but not least, is it me or is that a horrible name for a restaurant? Maybe I should get my mind out of the gutter...
