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.

SANM, based in San Jose, Ca., provides electronics contract manufacturing services. Annual revenues: $6.4 billion. SANM's stock falls sharply today after the company reported earnings below Street estimates for the fiscal second quarter ended in March. TTD sees more on the downside. 
TTD highlighted SANM as a short at our midsession video show on the Web Tuesday.
SANM reported fiscal second quarter net of 50 cents a share up from 44 cents a share a year ago. However, the Street was looking for 53 cents a share.
The stock was downgraded by some analysts.
SANM fell sharply in the morning hitting an intraday low of 19.65.
It then lifted modestly in the afternoon to trim some of its loss.
SANM's tape action shows the recent block trades. One can see the price for the blocks tumbling from $23.36 in the prior session to as low as $19.75 Tuesday.
A key bearish trade came in the morning when a block of 38,645 shares (duplicated) crossed the tape at $20.67.
That was down from the prior block trade at $23.36 on 67,560 shares.
The company focuses on engineering and fabricating complex components and also on providing complete end-to-end supply chain solutions to OEMs/
SANM's services include product design and engineering, including initial development, detailed design, prototyping, validation, preproduction services and manufacturing design.
This fiscal year ending in September analysts have been forecasting an 11% increase in SANM's net to $2.06 a share from $1.85 a year ago. However, that estimate could come down. Net for the fiscal third quarter ending in June is expected to rise 7% but then decline 8% in the fiscal fourth quarter.
SANM's daily chart shows the stock gapping lower with big volume. The move undercuts key support.
Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting SANM for a decline to 16 within the next few months or sooner. A protective stop buy can be placed near 21.60.
