The economy expanded at an annual rate of 4.1% over the summer, the government said in a sharply increased final estimate of third quarter gross domestic product. GDP is the value of all goods and services produced in the U.S.
That's the highest since 2011's fourth-quarter estimate of 4.9%.
The Commerce Department previously pegged last quarter's expansion at an annual rate of 3.6%. The economy grew 2.5% in the second quarter of 2013.
Last quarter's better than expected performance was spurred by consumers spending more over the summer on health care, recreation and other services. Consumers also increased spending on non-durable goods, mainly gasoline and energy.

The Company focused on two long-term secular trends sweeping the globe: the decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes and the adoption of electronic vaporizing cigarettes (eCigs).
The mCig provides a smoking experience by heating (not burning) plant material, waxes, and oils delivering a smoother inhalation experience. As of October 31, 2013, the Company did not generate any revenues.
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Joel Elconin]
One such example is mCig (OTC: MCIG).
��CIG started off with a $10 vape pen," he said. "They almost envision themselves as being the Apple of the industry. CEO and founder Paul Rosenberg [is] strictly a businessman, he owns about half the stock. He then brought on some talent and gave them his stock to help the company. Why? Because he knows the stock is overvalued, but if you can [evolve a company] without diluting your shareholders, that's what I mean by doing the right thing.��/p>

Last week, I talked about small cap electronic cigarette stocks Vapor Corp (OTCMKTS: VPCO) and Hop-On Inc (OTCMKTS: HPNN) as being among the last of the e-Cig�stocks not controlled by ��ig Tobacco,��but Victory Electronic Cigarettes Corp (OTCMKTS: ECIG), mCig Inc (OTCBB: MCIG) and American Heritage International (OTCBB: AHII)�are also�positioning themselves or their technology to exploit opportunities in the e-Cig market or even in�marijuana or cannabis. Last year, industry experts were already saying that�US retail sales of e-cigarettes could reach $1 billion for the year�for roughly�1% of the country's cigarette market. That number might appear small, but its more than double 2012 sales�as sales increasingly�move off the Internet and into more mainstream retailers thanks to their positioning as a���ealthier��alternative to smoking.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Hibah Yousuf]
While Priceline shares are not cheap, they're not terribly overvalued either for being the leader in online travel. Shares are trading around 21 times 2014 earnings estimates. That makes it more expensive than rival Expedia (EXPE), but the stock is trading at a discount compared to Orbitz (OWW) and TripAdvisor (TRIP).
- [By Louis Navellier]
TripAdvisor (TRIP), which calls itself ��he world�� largest travel website,��reported an excellent quarter last week. TripAdvisor reported total revenue of $281 million, up 32% quarter over quarter and 22% year over year. Net income of $68 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, was up 240% sequentially and 10% over the year-ago period. TRIP missed the analysts��estimates by about 1% but TripAdvisor raised guidance for the rest of the year — and that has Wall Street excited about the travel stock right now.
- [By Victor Reklaitis]
Tech stocks in general were under pressure during the week, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (COMP) falling 2.8% for its worst percentage drop since October 2012. Other big losers among Internet companies were TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP) , down 11.3% for the week, and Netflix Inc. (NFLX) , which slid 11.6% for the week.
