TTD's long-term chart of SLW shows the stock on a steady climb. The company has received min-tender offers for some of its stock from TRC Capital Management. SLW has advised its shareholders to reject the offers.
TTD's daily chart of SLW shows the stock "gapping out" from its base. That is bullish showing there is a degree of urgency in the market to buy the stock.
The stock's accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) is in a strong up trend indicating good demand for the stock. The breakout to a new peak by the AD line is good confirmation of strength in the price breakout.

This year, analysts predict SLW's earnings will jump 47% to 54 cents a share from 37 cents a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 35.
SLW should show an acceleration in quarterly earnings growth. Net for the first quarter is expected to rise 30% and then in the second quarter 42%. Accelerating quarterly earnings growth can often be a key driver to send a stock higher.

Strategy Opinion: SLW is a special situation play in the silver sector. TTD is targeting the stock for a move to 24 within the next few months, or sooner. The strong earnings outlook for the next two quarters should provide the power. A protective stop can be placed near 17.50. TTD rates SLW a good intermediate-term play.

. GLP, based in Waltham, Ma., is a wholesale distributor of refined petroleum products, operating mainly out of the northeast. Annual revenues: $5.7 billion. GLP's stock falls sharply today after the company reports disappointing earnings for the fourth quarter. The stock of the thinly traded issue is down over 3 points so far today. Volume is running at 103,900 shares, five times its normal daily volume.
GLP reported earnings for the fourth quarter declined to 72 cents a share from 78 cents a year ago.
The Street was expecting net of 86 cents a share. The 72 cents was below the lowest estimate on the Street of 75 cents a share.
GLP purchases refined petroleum products from domestic and foreign oil refiners and sells the products in two segments: Wholesale and Commercial.
Analysts are forecasting net for the first quarter will decline 5% to 95 cents a share from $1 a share a year ago.
The company said a number of adverse factors are impacting its business in 200. One of those is unfavorable forward pricing in the bulk refined petroleum products supply market. That is increasing costs.
TTD's chart shows GLP's stock falling off a cliff today. The stock drops sharply on heavy volume. The TTD momentum indicator (top of chart) has been bearish for several weeks. The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) has rolled over. TTD sees GLP as a good trading short with a target to 18 within a few months. The stock has the potential to surprise big on the downside if earnings deteriorate further.
