Bob Stovall: Following an abrupt stumble in late July we expect the market to move somewhat higher during the rest of 2014. The market has had a remarkable ascent that began 64 months ago ��the fourth largest run since prior to the crash of 1929. Year-to-date as of July 31st, the S&P 500 is up 4.5%. Beneath this is an epic tug-of-war being played out on Wall Street between the bulls and the bears. The struggle is being waged on a somewhat shaky playing field. At a time when the economy is experiencing its weakest recovery out of a recession ever, this tepid recovery still continues to trudge ever higher. For example, business investment is rising. Residential construction is higher. Unemployment numbers are low. The job rate is growing. Industrial production is rising. Monetary policy is still accommodative. The Feds��meetings aren�� scary anymore. Government spending has shrunk meaningfully relative to GDP. The yield curve is positively sloped. Long-term interest rates are negative, and corporate profits, despite Wall Street fears and contrasting contradictory forecasts, are rising.

To say that Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:OXBT) has made its presence known over the past three weeks would be an understatement. It would be more accurate and fairer to say OXBT been an "in your face" kind of name that you couldn't look past even if you wanted to. Rather than continue to sidestep it, care to stop, invest two minutes of time, and get the Q&D version of what's really going on here? If so, read on.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Roberto Pedone]
Uni-Pixel (UNXL) manufactures electronic film products using its proprietary manufacturing process, UniBoss. This stock closed up 7.6% to $16.84 in Monday's trading session.
Monday's Volume: 1.88 million
Three-Month Average Volume: 1 million
Volume % Change: 108%From a technical perspective, UNXL bounced sharply higher here right off its 50-day moving average of $15.89 with above-average volume. This stock looks to be forming a double bottom chart pattern at $14.91 to $15.16. If that bottom holds, then shares of UNXL could see a continuation of Monday's upside action.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in UNXL as long as it's trending above $15.16 or $14.91 and then once it sustains a move or close above Monday's high of $17.53 with volume that hits near or above 1 million shares. If we get that move soon, then UNXL will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at its 200-day moving average of $19.89.

If the name UniPixel Inc. (NASDAQ:UNXL) rings a bell, it may be because I suggested it as a bullish idea about a month ago. In fact, I've pegged UNXL as a buy-worthy stock a handful of times over the past year or so. It was my July 12th look, however, that was decisive and left little doubt as to my stance - buy it.
