With the slowest trading week of the year out of the way, investors and traders can finally get back into the normal hustle and bustle of the markets. Unfortunately, though, the stories in the market will most likely be the same. Where is oil going? Have financials bottomed? Who is leading in the presidential polls this week? All the same stories!

Whatever the case might be, there are new stocks with unique catalysts and new strategies that need testing.

This week's Rocket Stocks portfolio includes such stocks as Stec(STEC Quote), Joy Global(JOYG Quote) and Valero(VLO Quote).
