    I don�� know what�� going to happen in six months, let alone 20 years. However, I do know that OLED plays in a very exciting space, and Discovery Capital still seems to agree. Financially, OLED stock is solid, and if things go the company’s way in the coming years, it should get big in a hurry.

    Best Stocks #3 (Midcap): Copa Holdings (CPA)

    I�� a big believer in Latin America. While it has its troubles like every other emerging market, I continue to view its growing middle class with envy. While our middle class is being hallowed out, Latin America�� is growing exponentially. The U.S. was never more secure economically than when its middle class was growing, so history has demonstrated what this can do for a country.

    Gogo (GOGO) shares have more than doubled since its June IPO, making it one of the hottest stocks on the Nasdaq.

    But not everyone is jumping on board.

  • [By Michael Cintolo]

    Gogo (GOGO) is the company behind Internet access on airline flights. About 7,000 daily flights have the company's technology in North America, and it dominates the industry with about an 80% market share; more opportunities exist for Gogo overseas (though competition is greater, too).

    Nearest Resistance: $16��br>Nearest Support: $14��br>Catalyst: Analyst Upgrade

    Inflight internet provider Gogo (GOGO) is up more than 9% this afternoon, following an analyst upgrade from UBS. The bank pegged a $23 price target on the stock, upping its rating from neutral to buy. After selling off hard earlier this month on competition fears, the upgrade is proving to be enough of a catalyst to break shares out above $14.

    After trading lower for all of 2014, GOGO was starting to look "bottomy" at the start of May thanks to a short-term inverse head and shoulders pattern -- that pattern is getting triggered by today's upgrade news. While the downtrend is still very much intact for GOGO, the near-term trajectory for shares is pointing higher from here.

    The theory? Carriers that tend to please customers throughout the year and that leave a little capacity for overcrowding and last-minute sales are more likely to survive the nation's busiest travel weekend with their reputations intact.

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By WALLSTCHEATSHEET]

    US Airways is an airline that operates passenger and freight planes. The stalled merger between US Airways and AMR Corp.�� American Airlines will finally be going through. The stock has exploded higher in 2013 and is currently trading near its yearly highs. Over the last four quarters, earnings have been decreasing while revenues have been rising, which has produced optimistic investors. Relative to its peers and sector, US Airways has been an average year-to-date performer. Look for US Airways to OUTPERFORM.

    US Airways is an airline that operates passenger and freight planes. The most recent earnings announcement is generating positive feelings among investors while a proposed merger with American Airlines is still being worked on. The stock has flown higher in recent years and is now trading near highs not seen for years. Over the last four quarters, investors in the company have been upbeat as earnings have been mixed and revenue figures have increased. Relative to its strong peers and sector, US Airways has been an average year-to-date performer. Look for US Airways to continue to OUTPERFORM.
