TTD's Breakout Stocks - Long are
most suitable for aggressive investors seeking ideal entry points into leading stocks, especially during bull markets. They can do extremely well in bull markets with gains of as much as several hundred percent. 
These stocks can also do extremely well during strong market rallies, or if they are in a industry group that is performing very well. They tend to have strong earnings outlooks and are near new-52 week, or all-time highs.
TTD Quick Trade Stocks - Long These are leading issues that have pulled back in recent days, but could move higher soon. They are most suitable for Aggressive Investors willing to trade short term. These stocks will do extremely well during market advances. They have about 74% win rate. During market rally sequences the win rate is even higher. The return is small 3% to 8% in just a few days.
TTD's Bargain Buy Trades - Long - Long Term. These are for conservative bullish Investors These long-term buys are ideally suited for entry into stocks on pull backs within overall up trend. These stocks can give a good return long-term especially during a bull market.
TTD also presents Stocks To Sell or Sell Short. These issues are suitable for aggressive investors willing to take short positions both as trades or for longer-term plays. These stocks will do very well during bear markets or market pull backs.
TTD's Bearish breakdown stocks to sell short. These issues have potential to fall sharply. They often show a technical breakdown and also some fundamental business problem such as weak earnings.
TTD's multi-media updates include a slide-show that presents charts and analysis at midsession. Some times TTD presents feature analysis on stocks and the market. TTD uses Windows Media Files. (WMV).
TTD also presents a "Breakout Watch List" that is up dated daily. This list consists of key stocks in position to breakout. A close watch of this list can put you in the stock just as it breaks out. A good idea is to study the list and be ready to move into a stock quickly as it hits its breakpoint.
TTD often suggests using stop buy orders to enter. It is very important to buy a breakout stock as close as possible to the breakpoint. The idea is to get "elbow room" if the stock should follow through to the upside. This is very important in being successful in making big money with breakout stocks.
It is also essential to have a stop loss strategy for all stocks in which positions are taken. Not every stock will work as expected. It is important for investors to "police" their portfolios and avoid getting trapped in any bad positions.
Quality rating of breakout Two key factors: 1 - Stock near all-time high in price or near a 52-week high. 2 - earnings growth current year is strong. The ideal play is a stock with an Above Average Quality Rating. The stock is near a new high and will have strong earnings. TTD's other ratings are Average and Below Average.
TTD also has special feature sections on Educational Tips on Investing.

TTD's Quality Rating of Stock - DLR - AVERAGE |
DLR, based in San Francisco, is a real estate investment trust developing properties for the technology industry. Annual revenues: $1.8 billion. DLR's stock moves sharply higher Tuesday and breaks out from a six-week flat base. 
TTD highlighted the REIT as a breakout at our midsession video show on the Web Tuesday.
The stock's move was aided by news the company was buying land in Germany to develop as a facility for a high tech firm.
So far today, DLR is trading 1.6 million shares. Its average daily volume is 1.5 million shares. 
DLRs' 10-minute chart shows the stock moving higher in the morning and clearing its breakpoint line.
The stock then advance to a peak near 84 by noon.
It then backed off slightly and trended sideways the rest of the day. There was some heavy volume near the close.
DLR's tape action shows the recent block trades.
One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $82.29 in the prior session to as high as $83.94.
A key bullish block came in the morning when a block of 9,370 shares crossed the tape at $82.65.
That was up from the prior block trade at $82.29 on 25,225 shares.
Late in the session after the NYSE close a massive block of 145,668 shares crossed the tape at $82.91.
That was down sharply from the prior block trade after the NYSE close of 83.55 on 1,500 shares.
The tape would indicate some institutional profit taking.
DLR owns and manages technology-related real estate.
It focuses on strategically located properties containing applications and operations critical to day-to-day technology industry tenants.
The company's property portfolio consists of Internet gateway properties, corporate datacenter properties, technology manufacturing properties, and regional or national offices of technology companies.
DLR has some 75 properties, with 62 in North America and 13 in Europe.
DLR's 12-month performance chart shows the stock appreciating 25% versus a 5% decline for the stock market.
There was some heavy insider selling recently. (see red bars on chart) So, one needs to be watchful of the stock.
DLR's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in 2004 at $12 a share. The stock rose to a peak of 51.28 by 2008. However, it tumbled back to 18 later that year due to the bear market.
Afterwards, DLR ran up to as high as 80 in 2012, pulled back to 44 and has since run back up. It is now near a new high.
DLR's daily chart shows the stock climbing 70 back in January to around 82.
The stock then put down a flat base with a wedge to the upside. That is an ideal set up for a breakout.
Tuesday it breaks out with a pick up in volume.
The stock's CCI momentum indicator is bullish.
The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) is in a strong up trend.
That shows good underlying buying.
This year, analysts are forecasting a 5% increase in net to $5.54 a share from $5.26 a year ago.
The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 15.
Next year, analysts predict a 9% jump in net to $6.04 a share from the anticipated $5.54 this year. 
Net for the upcoming first quarter is expected to rise 6% to $1.34 a share from $1.27 a year ago.
The highest estimate on the Street is at $1.37 a share.
TTD sees chances for a modest upside earnings surprise.
Going out to the second quarter, net should rise 10% to $1.38 a share from the $1.26 the year before.
Strategy Opinion: DLR is a conservative play but a solid one. TTD is targeting the stock for a move to 92 within the next several months.
One needs to be patient with the stock. A protective stop can be placed near 80 giving it room.
TTD rates DLR an average intermediate-term play.
Sponsorship: Average. The largest fund holder is the Va CollegeAmerica Inc. Fund of America 528E with a 4% stake. The 5-star rated fund was a recent seller of 585,000 shares.
DLR has 146 million shares outstanding. Institutions hold 98% of the stock and insiders less than 1%.
Insider Activity: Neutral. Light buying at $25 and then insiders sold at $81.
Currently, 18 analysts follow the stock, 9 have a buy, up from 7 three months ago.
DLR has a book value of $21.93 a share.
