Hot Canadian Companies To Buy Right Now

Why don't you tell me the name of the movie you want to see? Moviefone's Russ Leatherman is one of several famous digital voices.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) The real Siri has come forward.

Before CNN published a story about her on Friday, few people had heard of Susan Bennett, the voice actress who lent her vocal cords to the iPhone's famous digital assistant. But millions have heard her voice ... or at least a digital representation of it.

Bennett's voice may be the most recognized in tech today. But there are some others throughout the years that could rival her digital audio fame.

HAL 9000: Douglas Rain, the Canadian actor who voiced HAL 9000 in 2001: "A Space Odyssey," was among the first famous computer voices. Rain's terrifying "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that" has been referenced and parodied dozens of times in popular culture. Even Siri pokes fun of HAL -- just ask the assistant to "open the pod bay doors."

This stock has been uptrending strong for the last five months, with shares moving higher from its low of $14.84 to its recent high of $18.16. During that uptrend, shares of AER have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of AER within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if AER manages to take out its 52-week high at $18.16 with high volume.

  Traders should now look for long-biased trades in AER as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $17.27 or above more near-term support at $17.17 and then once it sustains a move or close above its 52-week high at $18.16 with volume that's near or above 318,589 shares.

Advisors' Opinion:

  Thor Industries (NYSE: THO  ) reported earnings on June 6. Here are the numbers you need to know.

  The 10-second takeaway
  For the quarter ended April 30 (Q3), Thor Industries met expectations on revenues and beat expectations on earnings per share.

• [By Rich Smith]

  Thor Industries (NYSE: THO  ) has a new CEO.

  On Monday, the Elkhart, Ind.-based RV manufacturer announced it has promoted current President and Chief Operating Officer Bob Martin to the position of CEO. The appointment will become effective on August 1, when current CEO Peter B. Orthwein gives up his post (but remains executive chairman of the board of directors).

• [By Roberto Pedone]

  My first earnings short-squeeze trade idea is recreational vehicle maker Thor Industries (THO), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Thor Industries to report revenue of $964.54 million on earnings of 95 cents per share.

  The current short interest as a percentage of the float Thor Industries is notable at 6.7%. That means that out of the 50.23 million shares in the tradable float, 3.01 million shares are sold short by the bears. If the bulls get the earnings news they're looking for, then shares of THO could easily rip sharply higher post-earnings.

  From a technical perspective, THO is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last six months, with shares moving higher from its low of $34.38 to its recent high of $55.93 a share. During that uptrend, shares of THO have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of THO within range of triggering a big breakout trade post earnings.

  If you're bullish on THO, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $55.29 to its 52-week high at $55.93 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 397,012 shares. If that breakout hits, then THO will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that move are $65 to $70 a share.

  I would simply avoid THO or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops back below some key near-term support levels at its 50-day moving average of $53.11 to $52.52 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then THO will set up to
