LSI Corporation (LSI) has disclosed its fourth quarter and full year performance for the period ending December 31, 2011, starting off with revenues from continuing operations in the amount of $523 million. It also presented a fourth quarter GAAP income from continuing operations at 2 cents per diluted share and a non-GAAP income for the same period from the same operations at 13 cents per diluted share.

Cash flow from fourth quarter operations amounted to $55 million and full-year 2011 earnings amounted to $2 billion, which represent a 9 percent increase to the last year figure. On May, 6, 2011, LSI finalized the sale of its external storage systems business.

It seems that LSI, priced at $7.74 can finally breach the resistance line that lies at $7.7. Of course, it should stay above the line for at least several weeks to support this assumption of a uptrend formation.

There seems to be a rollercoaster of events for Activision Blizzard (ATVI), as it shares both bad news and good news for its MMO fans. The bad news is that the company has experienced a lowering of some 1 million subscribers of World of Warcraft around the world. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime attributes most of the subscriber loss to the decrease of platform popularity in the Eastern market.

The good news however, is that the company has surpassed its expectations by increasing its profits to almost three times over the past year. Activision Blizzard has accrued more than $620 million in sales, which translates to profits worth about $150 million.

Activision stock has recently broken the $13 resistance level and seems to be moving up. Yet, in order to establish an uptrend, the stock, currently trading just below $14 per share, needs to remain above the $13 line for at least two weeks.

Altera Corporation (ALTR), through its CEO, John Daane, reported on the achievements made in the third quarter of 2011. Daane said that the company expected a broader end market growth for the third quarter, but instead had to contend with customers strongly reducing inventories because of concerns on the world economy and the dipping of several end businesses.

During the third quarter, the telecom wireless earnings dipped by 13 percent together with widespread declines in the markets. Industrial military automotive also went down by 7 percent, with computer, storage and networking posting a 30 percent increase in earnings. Daane believes that most of the decreases were caused by customers reducing inventory below normal levels due to forecast business slowdowns.

Altera stock recent downward move seems like a technical correction to the $14.81-$48.70 progress that occurred in the years 2009, 2010 and first half of 2011. The current support $31.50 nearly coincides with the 50%-Fibonacci line.
