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 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.

CRTO's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in late October at $42. The stock however fell to 28 by early November.
CRTO that rallied back to around 27 and trended mostly sideways. The breakout today puts the stock within striking distance of is all-time high.

It was knocked down in November when the stock went public and then backed off in price.
CRTO's earnings for 2014 are projected to soar 174% to 27 cents a share from 10 cents a year ago.
The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 142. That is high, but okay given the triple-digit earnings growth outlook.
Going out to 2015, the Street is forecasting a 139% jump in profits to 66 cents a share from the anticipated 27 cents for 2014. 
On a quarterly basis profits should come in at 4 cents a share in the first quarter. There was no comparison with a year ago available.

Net for the second quarter should be 4 cents a share too.

TTD rates CRTO a good intermediate-term play as long as earnings meet expectations.
Sponsorship: Excellent. The largest fund holder is the 5-star rated Fidelity OTC Fund with a 0.93% stake. It has held its position steady.
