  Investors should  tend to try to go with a strategy that fits with the stock market's trend, unless there is a special situation play.

  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.

Today's Featured TTD Breakout Stock

Cubesmart (CUBE) - 32.48, up 0.35 - Breakpoint 31.87

Hits New High, Net To Rise 11%, TTD Targets 39

                    TTD's Quality Rating of Stock - CUBE - ABOVE AVERAGE

  CUBE, based in Malvern, Pa., is a real estate investment trust for self-storage. Annual revenues: $444 million. CUBE's stock moves higher Thursday and breaks out from  an 11-week, cup-and handle base.

 The move comes on volume of 1.5 million shares. Its average daily volume is 1.4 million shares.

  The stock is a leader in the strong REIT sector.

  CUBE's 10-minute chart shows the stock clearing its base late in the prior session.

  CUBE continued higher Thursday and reached an intraday peak of 32.67.

  The stock held most of its gain for the year. It showed some heavy volume in the last hour.

  CUBE's tape action is shown by the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $31.69 in the prior session to as high as $32.48.

  A key bullish trade came late on Wednesday when a block of 38,615 shares crossed the tape at $32.13.

  That was up from the prior block trade at $31.60 on 11,562 shares.

  Later in the afternoon, a massive block of 100,000 shares crossed at $32.45

  That was up from the prior block trade at $32.18 on 25,000 shares.

  So, the tape action showed strong institutional buying.

  CUBE invests in the real estate markets of the United States.

  It buys, operates, acquires and develops self-storage facilities.

  The firm was formerly known as U-Store-It Trust.

  CUBE was founded in July 2004.

  CUBE;s 12-month performance chart shows the stock appreciating 32% versus a decline of 3% for the stock market.

  Earlier this year, there was significant insider buying. (see green bars on chart)

  CUBE's long-term chart shows the stock coming public at $16.60 in 2004. The stock rose to a peak of $23.61 in 2007, the top in the prior bull market.

  The stock then fell back to $1.34 in 2009 due to the bear market.

  However, since then CUBE has worked its way steadily higher getting to $32. That is an impressive move.

  CUBE's daily chart shows the stock climbing from 27 in September to 31 by January.

  The stock then went through downside shakeouts due in part to the selloffs in the stock market.

  The stock then rallied back and Thursday breaks out to a new high.

  The stock's CCI momentum indicator (bottom of chart) is strongly bullish.

  The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) lags a bit.

  This year, analysts are forecasting an 11% increase in net to $1.39 a share from $1.25 a year ago.

  The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 23. That is high given the growth rate.

  Going out to 2017, the Street looks for an 11% gain in net to $1.55 a share from the anticipated $1.39 this year.

  Net for the upcoming first quarter is expected to climb 13% to 32 cents a share from 28 cents a year ago.

  The highest estimate on the Street is at 33 cents a share.

  TTD sees chances for an upside earnings surprise. The company topped the consensus six out of the past seven quarters.

  Looking ahead to the second quarter, analysts expect an 11% rise in net to 34 cents a share from 31 cents the year before.

  Strategy Opinion: CUBE is a conservative play. However, it is working well and is in a strong group. TTD is targeting the stock for a move to 39 within the next few months.

  A protective stop can be placed near 30.50.

  TTD rates CUBE an average intermediate-term play.

 Sponsorship: Good. The largest fund buyer recently was the 3-star rated Eagle Small Cap Growth A Fund which purchased 1 million shares as a new position. It has a 0.6% stake.

  The largest fund holder is the 3-star rated Vanguard REIT Index Fund with a big 7.1% stake. The fund was a recent purchaser of 96,430 shares.
