If you follow my picks you know I am Bearish.  That being said I am finding some winners.  Be ready for the next market turn... find the winners!

SMTC appears to be a winner.  A beautiful trend reversal has been taking place since early Feb.  I like it all the way to 20 with some consolidation occurring around 17.  I have a stop at $13.35.
