    Invacare (IVC) designs, manufactures and distributes a line of health care products for the non-acute care environment, including the home health care, retail and extended care markets. This stock closed up 2.3% at $16.73 in Monday's trading session.

    Monday's Volume: 218,000

    Three-Month Average Volume: 143,188

    Volume % Change: 75%

    From a technical perspective, IVC jumped higher here right above some near-term support at $16 with above-average volume. This move briefly pushed shares of IVC into breakout territory, since the stock flirted with some past resistance at $16.81. This move is also close to pushing shares of IVC above the upper-end of its recent sideways trading price action, that has seen IVC trade between $14.92 on the downside and $16.81 on the upside.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IVC as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $15.75 and then once it sustains a move or close above Monday's high of $16.84 with volume that's near or above 143,188 shares. If we get that move soon, then IVC will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $18.24 to $19.15.

    Paul Morris/Bloomberg/Getty Images There were plenty of winners and losers this week, with a fast food chain's attempt to offer healthier fare falling short and the world's largest networking equipment company letting pink slips fly. Here's a rundown of the week's smartest moves and biggest blunders. Satisfries -- Loser Burger King Worldwide (BKW) is giving up on trying to woo calorie counters. The burger chain is discontinuing Satisfies -- the crinkle-cut fries that contain 40 percent less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than McDonald's (MCD) signature spud sticks -- at most restaurants. Some franchisees will keep offering Satisfries, but the item didn't stick on its menu for much more than a year. Burger King claims that the item didn't sell well despite clearing roughly 100 million orders for the slightly less unhealthy fries. One can argue that Satisfries were doomed because of Burger King chose to charge more for an order than its traditional fries. Fast food joints are magnetic to folks looking to save money. Plus Burger King isn't a big draw to folks on a diet despite following rivals into salads. Monster Beverage (MNST) -- Winner Coca-Cola (KO) has struggled to make a dent in the energy drink market dominated by Red Bull and Monster, so it's betting on a winner. Coca-Cola is investing $2.15 billion to buy a 16.7 percent stake in Monster Beverage. It's a smart move for Coca-Cola as it continues to diversify from carbonated drinks that have fallen out of favor with consumers. However, it's a bigger deal for Monster Beverage. The stock jumped on the news, and rightfully so. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) has soared since Coca-Cola made a similar investment earlier this year. Cisco (CSCO) -- Loser It's another round of pink slips at Cisco. The networking gear giant announced that it that it will be dismissing 6,000 workers or 8 percent of its staff. It's a big number, but the market shouldn't be surprised. This is the fourth summer in a row

    This series, brought to you by Yahoo! Finance, looks at which upgrades and downgrades make sense, and which ones investors should act on. Today, our headlines feature an upgrade for Thomson Reuters Reuters (NYSE: TRI  ) , a new buy rating for Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX  ) -- but for Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP  ) , a downgrade.

    Novavax (NVAX) released its Phase I trial of 284 subjects injected with the H7N9 flu virus vaccine.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Roberto Pedone]

    Pixelworks (PXLW) designs, develops, and markets video and pixel processing semiconductors, software, and custom ASIC solutions for digital video applications. This stock closed up 8.5% to $6.60 in Tuesday's trading session.

    Tuesday's Range: $6.11-$6.63
    52-Week Range: $3.63-$9.83
    Tuesday's Volume: 1.82 million
    Three-Month Average Volume: 1.16 million

    From a technical perspective, PXLW ripped sharply higher here right above some near-term support at $6 with above-average volume. This strong rip to the upside on Tuesday is quickly pushing shares of PXLW within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if PXLW manages to take out Tuesday's intraday high of $6.63 and then once it clears its recent gap-down-day high right below $7 with high volume.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in PXLW as long as it's trending above Tuesday's intraday low of $6.11 or above $6 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.16 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then PXLW will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap-down-day zone from July that started just above $8.
