Street Chatter:

eBay: What has happened to the once beloved EBAY (NASDAQ:EBAY)? The shares have shed more than 23 percent since the beginning of 2006, pressured lower under the weight of their 10-day and 20-day moving averages. Even pacts with Yahoo!, Microsoft-takeover rumors, and upgrades have failed to pull the stock out of its current funk. The stock's recent rebound has been promptly stopped by resistance at its 10-week moving average. However, the shares may have found a modicum of support at the 32 level. This area is roughly home to the equity's 20-day moving average and the low the stock notched when it gapped higher on May 25. Also, it is interesting that more than 27,000 puts have accumulated at the 32.50 strike in the June and July series. These bearish bets could supply the shares with some short-term support as the stock's 10-week trendline moves lower.

Monsanto: Shares of Monsanto (NYSE:MON) are bouncing off the bottom of a trading range that has kept the security trapped since mid-January. While a boost in earnings expectations has helped breathe new life in the stock, MON will be hard pressed to keep up its winning ways. Today's rally has carried the shares back into chart congestion in the 86-88 area. This region has marked a number of tops in the stock during the past several months and could mark yet another for the shares. Furthermore, this security isn't going to find any help from short sellers, who have almost abandoned this stock in search of more dour prospects. It looks like MON may remain range-bound for a while longer despite the positive fundamental development.

Research In Motion Limited: An upgrade and strength in the broad market have failed to pull Research in Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) significantly higher today. The equity continues to battle technical resistance at its declining 10-day and 20-day moving averages. In fact, RIMM has logged only one daily close above both of these short-term trendlines since April 6. It appears the shares are looking at a possible test of long-term support at the 60 level, which has helped to buoy the security on a number of occasions since March 2005. In addition, investor sentiment toward the beleaguered stock is extremely bullish, increasing the likelihood that these optimists may begin to unload their long positions as the stock continues to underperform.

Tribune: Yesterday, Tribune (NYSE:TRB) announced a share buyback and settled an SEC case, causing the shares to gap higher. Yet, what is catching my eye is the fact that the positive news and price action resulted in a sharp increase in puts at the July 30 strike. Open interest at this back-month option spiked from zero to nearly 4,500 contracts in one day. In addition, the jump brought the shares back above their declining 10-week and 20-week moving averages, which TRB has not closed a week above since mid-September. The stock added more than seven percent yesterday and is flat today, which is surprising as one might expect to see some selling today to lock in Tuesday's gains. This may be the start of a new uptrend for the shares.
