TTD often suggests using stop buy orders to enter. It is very important to buy a breakout stock as close as possible to the break point. 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.

Today's Featured Breakout Stock

Denbury Resources Inc. (DNR) - 33.75, up 0.46  - Breakpoint 33.10

Profits to Jump 55% This Year, TTD Targets 41

  DNR, based in Plano, Tex., is an oil and gas producer. Annual revenues: $972 million. DNR edges out from a ten-week, cup-and-handle base today. The move carries the stock to a new high. DNR is trading 2.4 million shares so far today. Its average daily volume is 2 million shares. TTD highlighted the stock as an accumulation buy about two weeks.

  It was featured at our midsession show on the Web.

  TTD's clip of the tape today shows DNR with a big block of 21,100 shares crossing in the morning at $33.40, an up tick from the prior trade at $33.34. The action showed aggressive institutional buying.

  DNR is part of the strong acting energy sector.

  The company does most of exploration in the Gulf of Mexico area. DNR is benefiting from the rise in energy prices. The stock, the past year, has doubled from 15 to 31.  TTD's performance chart shows DNR appreciating 105% the past 12 months compared with a 5% decline for the S&P 500 index.

   The company made a presentation at the IPAA 2008 Oil and Gas Investment Symposium in New York on April 7.

  Today, a brokerage firm raised its target price for the stock to $40 from $32.50 .TTD agrees!

  DNR is an oil and gas producer using conventional and specialized recovery methods in Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas Barnett Shale.

 The company conducts tertiary oil recovery by injecting naturally occurring CO2 from its Jackson Dome field to drive more oil out of mature wells. In 2007, daily oil and gas production averaged 44,115 equivalent barrels per day and year-end reserves were 195 million barrels of oil equivalent.

  TTD's long-term chart shows DNR in a fabulous bull market. Since 2003, the stock has soared from 3 to 31.

  TTD's daily chart shows that DNR broke out late on Monday. So far today it has edged  higher.

  DNR has shown clear resistance around 33. So today's push into that area is bullish. The key will be for DNR to clear it convincingly.

  The shape of the recent cup-and-handle base is good. However, it does not show the good contraction near bottom one would like to see.

   This year analysts are forecasting a 47% jump in earnings to $1.39 a share from 95 cents a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 22. TTD sees that as reasonable.

  Next year, the Street is forecasting a 17% rise in profits to $1.63 a share from the anticipated $1.39 a share this year.

  Net for the upcoming first quarter will be very strong. Analysts are forecasting a 399% surge to 32 cents a share from 6 cents a share a year ago. The highest estimate on the Street is at 42 cents a share.

TTD sees good chances for a mild upside surprise in earnings. The past three quarters, DNR topped the consensus Street estimate by 3 to 8 cents a share.

  The company is benefiting from high production levels and higher oil prices.

  Strategy Opinion: DNR's breakout points the stock toward TTD's target of 41. A protective stop can be placed near 31, which is tight.  TTD rates DNR a good intermediate-term play.

  Sponsorship: Excellent. The largest fund holder is 5-star rated Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund with a 4.7% stake. It was a recent buyer of 5.6 million shares. Also, 4-star rated Arisan Mid Cap Fund purchased 1 million shares and 3-star rated RS Global Natural Fund 1.8 million shares.

  Insider Activity: Neutral. Some light buying by insiders, who turned around and sold. Currently, 11 analysts follow the stock, 5 have a buy, up from 4 three months ago.

Commentary on TTD’s Feature Bear Play

Novellus Systems Inc. (NVLS) - 20.19, off 2.34

Weak Earnings, TTD Sees Drop to 16

   NVLS, based in San Jose, Ca., makes chemical and physical vapor deposition systems used in the production of semiconductors. Annual revenues: $1.6 billion. NVLS gaps lower today in heavy trading to trigger a TTD short play. The stock's decline was due to its weak first quarter earnings and outlook for the year. The stock was downgraded by some brokerage firms.

 NVLS is off about 2 points so far today. Volume is running at 8.9 million shares, double its normal daily volume of 4.5 million shares.

  The stock showed heavy selling in the morning. TTD's clip of the tape shows a big block of 100,000 shares crossing on a modest  down tick to $20.20.

 NVLS reported a 70% drop in first quarter net and a slowdown in sales. It posted net of  15 cents a share, down from 42 cents a year ago. Revenue fell 21% to $314.7 million.

Analysts were expecting earnings of 16 cents a share on revenue of $315.5 million.

  NVLS' chemical and physical vapor systems deposit a variety of conductive and insulating films on semiconductor wafers. The company also sells wafer photoresist cleaning systems and entered the chemical-mechanical polishing market with the acquisition of SpeedFam-IPEC.

  This year, analysts predict a 33% drop in net to $1.11 a share from $1.67 a year ago.

  TTD's daily chart of NVLS shows the gape drop cutting through key support at 20.63. The stock's accumulation - distribution line is in down trend indicating heavy selling pressure. TTD is targeting NVLS for a drop to 16 within the next few months. We view it as a trading short for bears.
