Call it a hunch (because that's all it is), but I think Cardium Therapeutics Inc. (NYSEMKT:CXM) at least belongs on your watchlist, if not already in your portfolio. CXM shares have dropped a handful of key hints that say the bulls are just one good nudge away from catapulting this stock upward.
For those not familiar, CXM is a biotech stock. Specifically, Cardium Therapeutics is a modestly-diversified biotherapy developer with a hand in prostate cancer (as an insurer), health supplements (via its 'To Go' brand), a tissue engineering and wound/ulcer repair technology called Excellagen, and a cardiac drug Generx (Ad5FGF-4) that combats heart disease... atherosclerotic plaque to be specific.
The variety of its revenue bearing products - current and future - makes it tough to evaluate CXM from an investment standpoint. But, that doesn't mean one has to steer clear of the stock. It simply means that anyone interested in trading Cardium Therapeutics has to pay as much attention to the chart as anything else, since the chart is an indication of the market's ever-changing opinion of the stock. Thing is, the way opinions change are fairly predictable, meaning the subtle clues a chart drops over time may well tell you what's in store next for a particular chart.

Alamy Men's clothing retailer Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, the target of an unwelcome bid from rival Men's Wearhouse, said it would buy outdoor clothing retailer Eddie Bauer for $825 million in its latest effort to stay independent. Jos. A. Bank (JOSB) said it had reviewed both a possible acquisition of, and sale to, Men's Wearhouse (MW) but had determined that the Eddie Bauer deal and a share buyback that it also announced on Friday would provide best value for shareholders. Jos. A. Bank will pay $564 million in cash and issue about 4.7 million new shares at $56 each to an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital, the ultimate parent of Eddie Bauer. The private-equity firm will end up controlling about 16.6 percent of Jos. A. Bank and have the right to name two directors. Jos. A. Bank, whose shares were down 2 percent before the bell, said it would immediately start a $300 million tender offer to buy back 4.6 million shares at $65 each, a premium of 18.4 percent to the stock's close Thursday of $54.92. Jos. A. Bank shares were trading at $53.75 before the bell. The company said it had been pursuing Eddie Bauer for two years in an effort to boost shareholder value and had contacted Golden Gate several times to discuss a deal. Backed by Golden Gate Capital, Jos. A. Bank bid $2.3 billion for Men's Wearhouse last year. But its larger rival spurned the offer and later turned the tables by offering to buy Jos. A. Bank for $1.5 billion. Men's Wearhouse sweetened its offer to $1.6 billion last month, but Jos. A Bank rejected it again. Superior Offer Jos. A. Bank said Friday it had the right to drop its offer to buy Eddie Bauer if it got a superior proposal. The retailer said it expected the deal, which would create a company with annual revenue of more than $2.1 billion, to immediately add to earnings. Eddie Bauer estimated revenue of between $885 million and $895 million for the 2013, Jos. A. Bank said. With the acquisition of Eddie Bauer, Jos. A. Bank -- best kno

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Another stock that's rapidly moving within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Castle Brands (ROX), which develops and markets premium and super-premium brands in the beverage alcohol categories: rum, whiskey, liqueurs, vodka, tequila and fine wine. This stock has been on fire so far in 2013, with shares up huge by 234%.
If you take a look at the chart for Castle Brands, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending very strong for the last three months, with shares soaring higher from its low of 30 cents per share to its recent high of 99 cents per share. During that uptrend, shares of ROX have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of ROX within range of triggering a big breakout trade.
Market players should now look for long-biased trades in ROX if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at 93 cents per share to its 52-week high at 99 cents per share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 501,958 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ROX will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $1.50 to $2 a share.
Traders can look to buy ROX off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at 80 cents to 77 cents per share, or around its 50-day at 70 cents per share. One can also buy ROX off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
