>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Another under-$10 name that's quickly moving within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Velti (VELT), which provides mobile marketing and advertising technology solutions that enable brands, advertising agencies, and mobile operators to implement interactive and measurable campaigns by communicating with and engaging consumers via their mobile devices. This stock has been destroyed by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off sharply by 91%.
If you take a look at the chart for Velti, you'll notice that this stock recently gapped down big from over $1 a share to 33 cents per share with monster downside volume. Following that gap down, shares of VELT have started to consolidate and move sideways between 33 cents per share on the downside and 44 cents per share on the upside. Shares of VELT are spiking sharply higher on Thursday above some near-term support at 35 cents per share. That move is pushing this stock within range of triggering a big breakout trade above the upper-end of its recent sideways trading chart pattern.
Market players should now look for long-biased trades in VELT if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at 44 cents per share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 2.02 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then VELT could easily explode higher and potentially re-test its gap down day high from August at 66 cents per share.
Traders can look to buy VELT off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at 35 cents to 33 cents per share. One can also buy VELT off strength once it clears 44 cents per share with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Divine]
Teradata (NYSE: TDC ) shares were hit by Oracle's underwhelming results, as well. Teradata, which slumped 4.2% today, competes with Oracle in several areas, one of them being Big Data -- the growing need for companies to sift through, analyze, and mine vast amounts of data they already have stored or continue to collect. If Oracle's sales miss was truly a reflection of wider economic weaknesses, as the company claims, then Teradata's quarterly revenue might also disappoint when it's announced next month.�

Analytic data solutions provider Teradata (NYSE: TDC ) jumped 2.7% on this shortened session following positive comments from Paul Meeks of Saturna Capital on CNBC yesterday. Meeks referred to Teradata in his on-air interview as his pick in the big data analytic space. As usual, I would suggest taking analyst comments with a grain of salt because they are often short-term drivers of stock prices. In this case, though, I do agree with Mr. Meeks. Teradata has plenty of cash on hand to continue investing in its products, and it's perfectly positioned to take advantage of the ongoing move into the cloud and big data centers.
