Many times users like to upgrade hardware in conjunction with game releases, so even if Nvidia (NVDA) loyalists do not switch over, AMD fans that have had been holding off on upgrading could be swayed into upgrades provided they will receive a game that typically costs upwards of $50, plus probably a few others depending on the card they choose. These games likely cost AMD less than $100 total, while saving the consumer much more than this.

Yet there is a fourth major competitor in the commercial aircraft market -- Bombardier (NASDAQOTH: BDRAF ) -- and it has its own advanced-technology airplane. The company's CSeries plane is expected to make its first flight as early as this week. Yet the CSeries put up a goose egg at the Paris Air Show, failing to notch a single order. While Bombardier has nearly 200 firm orders for the CSeries, the company will rapidly burn through that backlog once it starts CSeries mass production.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Vanguard Total Stock Market (NYSEMKT: VTI )
In addition to having its own separate S&P 500-tracking ETF that uses the same approach as the SPDR ETF yet charges just half the expenses, Vanguard also offers its Total Stock Market ETF, which owns not just the 500 stocks in the S&P but also 2,700 more stocks that make up the MSCI US Broad Market index. The result is a small amount of exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks in addition to its core large-cap holdings. When smaller companies perform better, that gives the Vanguard ETF an advantage over SPDRs and other S&P-tracking funds, and its rock-bottom 0.05% expense ratio is about as cheap as you can get.

United Foods International (UNFI), has run higher in fits and starts from a double bottom at 47ish. The movement since late May has been a harmonic deep crab. It achieved the potential reversal zone (PRZ) and is now pulling back in a broadening descending wedge. Or is it a bull flag? The crab calls for a target lower at the 38.2% Fibonacci level, while the bull flag suggests a MM to 62.50. Whichever it gives first is the one to play. I guess the world is right to think of Whole Foods first. Both of these stocks will be moving but not likely before Whole Foods reports.
