Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Roberto Pedone]

  Another stock that has already started to trigger a big breakout is E Commerce China Dangdang(DANG), a business-to-consumer, e-commerce company in the People's Republic of China. The sellers have been very successful in knocking this stock down this year, and shares are off by over 70%.

  If you take a look at the chart for E Commerce China Dangdang, you'll notice that the short-sellers have done a number on this stock, since it has plunged from its July high of $14.88 to a recent low of $4.50 a share. Since hitting that low, the stock has rebounded sharply to its current price of around $7 a share. Shares of Dangdang have also just started to move back above its 50-day moving average of $6.34 a share. Even more important, the stock has just today started to take out some big overhead resistance at around $6.50 a share.

  Market players should now watch for this stock to trade and close above $6.50 a share today with strong volume. Look for volume to finish the day near or well above its three-month average action of 2.4 million shares. If we get some decent volume, and the stock closes strong, then this stock should set up to make a run back toward $8 a share or much higher.

  One could be a buyer of this stock off any weakness and simply use a mental stop just below the 50-day moving average in case the breakout fails. Keep in mind that volume on Thursday was 2.9 million shares as the stock traded up. Look for strength and volume in the stock to continue to signal that much big spike is coming for DANG in the coming days or weeks.

  This stock has an enormous short interest, with over 45% of the tradable float currently sold short by the bears. Look for the short-sellers to start covering fast if the stock really starts to launch into orbit off current levels.
