With the stock index futures strongly in positive territory, recent pullbacks in stocks are likely to be met with buyers sooner than later in the Friday session. Here are a few high PowerRatings stocks that short term traders should be on the lookout for in case intraday weakness provides for opportunities to climb on board before these stocks leave the station.

PowerRating).
Intel has closed lower for four out of the past five trading days, including the last two. On both of the last two days, also, INTC has developed 2-period RSIs of less than 10 — with Thursday’s reading coming in at less than 5. Intel, it should be pointed out, is far and away the most oversold — and highest rated — stock in the Dow 30.
For its part Applied Materials has also pulled back over the past two days, with Thursday’s decline taking the stock into oversold territory above the 200-day moving average.
Additional weakness here will likely afford PowerRatings traders with a potential opportunity to pick up shares of a very oversold tech stock.
Another 9-rated stock for short term traders to watch for is FedEx

FedEx has closed lower for the past three days and, like Applied Materials, only became truly oversold with Thursday’s close. With a 2-period RSI of just over 12, traders may want to wait for FedEx to “come in†a bit more before considering it for a trade. That said, with its PowerRating of 9, FedEx belongs to that category of stocks which, according to our research, have outperformed the average stock by a margin of more than 9 to 1 after five days.
There are two other stocks with PowerRatings of 8 that traders may want also put on their watchlists in the event that the selling we’ve seen over the past few days continues at week’s end or at the beginning of next week. Those 8-rated stocks are Target Corporation
