Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Another stock that's starting to move within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Sky-mobi (MOBI), which, through its subsidiaries, engages in the operation of a mobile application platform embedded on mobile phones to provide mobile application store and services in the People�s Republic of China. This stock has been red hot so far in 2013, with shares up a whopping 88%.
If you look at the chart for Sky-mobi, you'll notice that this stock recently formed a triple bottom chart pattern at $3.31, $3.28 and $3.40 a share. That bottoming pattern occurred over the last two months. Shares of MOBI have now started to uptrend and flirt with its 50-day moving average of $3.76 a share. That move is quickly pushing MOBI within range of triggering a big breakout trade.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in MOBI if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.71 to $3.83 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 145,934 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then MOBI will set up to re-test or possibly take out its 52-week high at $4.96 a share. Any high-volume move above that level will then give MOBI a chance to tag its next major overhead resistance levels at $5.55 to $6.13 a share.
Traders can look to buy MOBI off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $3.40 to $3.28 a share. One can also buy MOBI off strength once it takes out that breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Anders Bylund]
Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX ) made an unexpected move last week when it hired Todd Cione to fill the newly created position of sales chief for the Americas.

Ouch, dude. That swan dive came from cloud computing specialist Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX ) , based on a disappointing earnings report with a weak next-quarter outlook. The company is waist-deep in moving old customers over to the new OpenStack platform, leaving less resources for seeking out new contracts. So revenue jumped 20% year-over-year to $362 million, but Wall Street had expected $367 million. Rackspace rarely publishes quarterly guidance, but the second-quarter sales range provided this week sits 3% below analyst targets.

Rackspace Hosting Inc. (NYSE: RAX ) takeover talks are heating up as analysts believe that CenturyLink (NYSE: CTL ) has a high probability of making a bid.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Ben Levisohn]
Shares of FuelCell Energy (FCEL) have dropped nearly 6% today after releasing disappointing financial results. But were the numbers as bad as they looked?
FuellCell EnergyFuelCell Energy reported a profit of three-cents a share, meeting analysts forecasts, on sales of $43.2 million, below the Street consensus for $53.6 billion.
Cowen’s Jeffrey Osborne and Thomas Boyes don’t think FuelCell Energy’s results were that bad:
Product sales levels proved disappointing, at $43.2 million, a 20% reduction from the same quarter in 2013. Short-term cash and cash equivalent, however, totaled $113 million, approximately 16% of market cap.
Total backlog marginally increased to $350.2 million from $342.8 million as of the end of last quarter, resulting from a sequential increase in utility service contracts. Gross margin of 9.2% is a notable year-over-year increase from 8.4%. Management will likely highlight the recent investment from NRG, with an equity stake and $40 million of committed capital for project financing, as well as its $350.2 million total backlog, which represents about 50% of the company’s current market capitalization.
Shares of FuelCell Energy have fallen 5,6% to $2.52 at 12:48 p.m., while Ballard Power Systems�(BLDP) has dropped 2.8% to $3.46 and Plug Power�(PLUG) has declined 3.5% to $5.28.
