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 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 - NVR - ABOVE AVERAGE |
NVR, based in Reston, Va., builds homes and provides financing. Annual revenues: $3.2 billion. NVR's stock breaks out today from a nine-week flat base. The stock's move higher was aided by favorable news in the housing market. So far today, NVR is trading 45,226 shares. its average daily volume is 38,000 shares.
NVR is one of the highest priced stocks trading in the market.
TTD highlighted NVR as a stock to accumulate earlier this months. Also, the stock was featured today at our midsession video show on the Web.
NVR's stock cleared its breakpoint early in the day with a strong push North (see 10-minute chart).
The stock then trended sideways through the midpart of the session. Then late in the day NVR came on again to close near its high for the day.
Obviously, NVR is high priced at over $1,000. However, that should not deter one from taking a position based on its prospects.
NVR's tape action today is strongly bullish.
A look at the recent block trades shows the price for the blocks climbing from $1,044 a few days ago to as high as $1,075 Tuesday.
Today, the price of the blocks has moved up from $1,058 to $1,075.
The largest trade recently was late on Monday when a block of 1,806 shares crossed the tape at $1,046.90, up from the prior block at $1,040.10.
NVR Inc. is a holding company that operates in two business segments; the construction of homes and financial services.
NVR's homebuilding operations construct and sell single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings. It has two product lines through two divisions Ryan Homes and NVHomes.
NVR's mortgage banking business generates revenues primarily from origination fees, servicing fees, gains on marketing of loans, title fees, and sales of servicing rights.
NVR's 12-month performance chart shows the stock appreciating 45% versus a 10% gain for the S&P500 index.
NVR's long-term chart shows the stock climbing from 42 back in 2000 to a peak of 947 in 2005. The stock then worked lower due in part to the bear market. It finally bottomed at 310 in early 2009.
Since then, NVR has pushed higher as the housing market has recovered. Today's push to a new high could draw in more buying on Wednesday.
NVR's daily chart shows the stock advancing from around 850 back in November to 1050 by January.
The stock set up a flat base above its 50-day moving average line. That shows it is in a solid up trend.
The breakout today clears resistance. The volume is not that robust. So, it will be important to see a follow through with volume picking up.
The stock's TTD momentum indicator (top of chart) is solidly bullish.
The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) has broken out to the upside. That is bullish showing there is been good underlying buying in the stock.
This year, analysts are forecasting a 51% surge in net to $53.05 a share from $35.12 a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of just 19. TTD sees that as attractive for value players since it is just half the earnings growth rate.
Going out to 2014, analysts project a 39% gain in net to $73.84, up from the anticipated $53.05 this year.
Net for the upcoming first quarter should surge 94% to $7.57 a share from $3.90 a year ago. The highest estimate on the Street is at $8.80 a share. NVR has topped the quarterly consensus estimate the past three quarters by 2% to 8%. So, there is a good chances for a mild upside earnings surprise. (see table).
Profits for the second quarter should climb 45% to $13.02 from the $8.97 a year ago.
Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting the stock for a move to 1,300. That is up from our prior projection earlier this month. A protective stop can be placed near 1,040
TTD rates NVR a very good intermediate-term play provided earnings meet expectations.
Sponsorship: Average. The largest fund holder is 2-star rated iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction Fund with a 3.4% stake. It was a recent buyer of 4,977 shares. NVR has 5 million shares outstanding. Institutions hold 84% of the stock.
