www.ea.com There were plenty of winners and losers this week, including a merger of two fast-growing real estate website operators and a theme park operator taking another hit. Here's a rundown of the week's smartest moves and biggest blunders. Tesla Motors (TSLA) -- Winner The country's coolest automaker -- and one of the hottest stocks over the past two years -- continues to grow in popularity. The maker of luxury plug-in electric cars posted a better than expected adjusted profit in its latest quarter, with revenue nearly doubling. Tesla is on track to deliver 35,000 of its Model S sedans this year. It also announced on Thursday that it expects to produce 60,000 cars next year as the Model X crossover joins its lineup. Tesla's rich multiples aren't for the squeamish, but the company seems to be revolutionizing the automotive industry. One can only imagine how things will be when it starts rolling out its more reasonably priced Model III car in three years. SeaWorld (SEAS) -- Loser SeaWorld can't seem to catch a break, even when misfortune results in denial. SeaWorld and Southwest Airlines (LUV) are ending their marketing partnership after 26 years. The relationship had Southwest promoting the marine life theme park operator on some of its planes and SeaWorld offering Southwest-branded relaxation and charging stations. Anti-SeaWorld protestors had demonstrated at Southwest's headquarters earlier this year, and more than 32,000 people had signed an online petition at change.org urging the air carrier to end its association with SeaWorld. However, this already unfortunate story makes the cut this week because of SeaWorld's explanation on why the two companies will part ways when the latest contract is up at the end of the year. "With an increasing international visitor base, SeaWorld is looking to focus on new and growing markets in Latin America and Asia, among others," SeaWorld explains in a joint statement with Southwest, almost as if it's saying that

3. Iraqi violence rocked airline stocks and oil prices
A little bit of sectarian violence can go a long way. Insurgents have been tearing through northern Iraq over the past week -- and since Iraq is the second biggest oil producer in OPEC, the international cartel of nations that control oil production, investors worried whether a civil war could affect oil supplies. Limited oil would jack up the price, which was good news for oil and gas drilling companies, but bad for airline stocks such as Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL ) and Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV ) .

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Tom Sandlow]
Synopsis: As a result of the terms of its bankruptcy and the proposed merger with U.S. Airways (LCC), an equity investment in AMR Corp (AAMRQ.PK) is equivalent to a series of derivatives on LCC. At current market values, AAMRQ is undervalued by approximately 40%. It is possible to create an arbitrage position that should capture this pricing differential over the next 6 months.

Last but not the least is US Airways Group (LCC), in which Y/Cap slightly increased its position, now owning around $7.9 million. U.S. Airways is currently on the minds of many investors, mainly due to its plans to merge with American Airlines parent AMR Corp (AAMRQ.PK). While European regulators approved the merger, the U.S. Department of Justice put a spoke in the wheel, and is trying to block the move. The companies filed a motion to the court to set the trial date for November 12. Amid these actions, U.S. Airways and American Airlines prolonged the outside date at which one of the companies can terminate the proposed merger.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Alex Planes]
It's been a bit over two months since my fellow Fool Sean Williams pointed out that Republic, despite its low price, was booking fewer passenger-miles in 2013 and could be set for a fall. Since then, Republic's shares have shed approximately 15% of their value. To counter the possibility of revenue declines, the airline joined Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ: SAVE ) and Allegiant Travel (NASDAQ: ALGT ) last month in charging a fee for carry-on baggage, which is more or less the final frontier of irritating airline charges, short of charging you for the oxygen should those masks drop down during an emergency.

Another key point to Southwest's success has been its constant focus on giving the customer top value among domestic carriers. You'll certainly find a cheaper upfront ticket price if you look around for domestic flights from a small regional carrier like Allegiant Travel (NASDAQ: ALGT ) or Spirit Airlines (NASDAQ: SAVE ) . Then again, Southwest doesn't charge for the first two checked bags, whereas Allegiant and Spirit charge for both each checked bag as well as carry-on bags! Southwest's keep-it-simple approach and easy-to-understand pricing have been instrumental in winning over passengers.

One airline player that's starting to trend within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade is Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes (GOL), through its subsidiaries, engages in the air transportation of passengers, cargo, and mailbags in Latin America. This stock has been hammered by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off by 42%.
If you look at the chart for Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending strong for the last two months, with shares moving higher from its low of $2.74 to its recent high of $3.83 a share. During that uptrend, shares of GOL have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. Shares of GOL just recently formed a double bottom above its 50-day moving average at $3.57 to $3.55 a share. Shares of GOL are now starting to spike higher above those support levels and move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GOL if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.83 to $4.14 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 2.19 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then GOL will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at its 200-day moving average of $5.30 a share to $6 a share.
Traders can look to buy GOL off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below its 50-day moving average of $3.46 a share. One can also buy GOL off strength once it takes out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
