Stocks to Watch Tomorrow 12/15

Dectron Internationale Inc. (Nasdaq: DECT) is the latest micro-cap to catch the momentum bug, jumping 48% today after reporting Q3 results. This could continue moving or we could see profit takers.

Redback Networks Inc. (Nasdaq: RBAK) jumped 12.3% today, with takeover rumors surfacing late in the session. We could see profit takers here if rumors prove bogus.

Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) warned for Q4. A number of chips companies have warned recently, so some of the miss may be built in.

AMD (NYSE: AMD) surged 12.6% today after a rosy chip forecast for the number two chip-maker. The company expects shipments to rise about 20% in 2007. We could see profit takers tomorrow after today's big move.
