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.

TTD's Quality Rating of Stock - GIMO - ABOVE AVERAGE |

TTD featured GIMO as a potential breakout recently.
The stock has been performing well having appreciated 32% the past 12 months versus a decline of 8.7% for the S&P 500 index.
GIMO's stock advanced in the morning and early in the afternoon it cut across its breakpoint line (see 10-minute chart).
The stock reached an intraday high of 28.74. It then held the gain into the final bell.
GIMO's tape action shows the recent block trades.
One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $27.37 in the session on last Friday to as high as $28.68 on Tuesday.
A key bullish trade came in the morning when a block of 4,735 shares crossed the tape at $27.73.
That was up from the prior block at $27.37 on 35,243 shares.
GIMO makes tech products that provide customers with visibility and control of network traffic for enterprises and services providers around the world.

Its solutions enable IT firms to forward traffic from network and server infrastructure to management, analysis, compliance, and security tools in a manner that is optimized for specific uses.
GIMO's 12-month performance chart shows the stock appreciating 38% versus a 5% decline in the stock market.
Most importantly, one can see heavy insider buying recently. (see green bars on chart)
GIMO's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in July of 2013 at 27.60.
The stock shot up to its all-time high of 41.81 by September of 2013.
However, it tumbled back to 10 in 2014. Nevertheless, it has made a comeback and is now in an overall up trend. 
GIMO's daily chart shows the stock pushing higher to 28.68 to clear its resistance point.
The stock has made a strong run in recent sessions. So, it is a bit extended near-term
The CCI momentum indicator (bottom of chart) is solidly bullish.
The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) lags, but is improving.
That was due in part to some heavy selling in late January.
This year, analysts are forecasting GIMO will post a profit of 43 cents a share compared with a loss of 6 cents a year ago.
The stock sells with a projected p/e ratio of 57. That is high. So, the stock is most suitable for aggressive investors.
Going out to 2017, the Street looks for a 75% leap in net to 75 cents a share from the anticipated 43 cents this year.
Net for the upcoming first quarter is expected to come in at 4 cents a share compared with a loss of 2 cents a year ago.
Then, for the second quarter, analysts predict a profit of 8 cents a share compared with a breakeven the year before.
GIMO has tended to top Street earnings estimates in recent quarters. (see table)
Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting GIMO for a move to 35 off this breakout. We would suggest a scale-in strategy since the stock is a bit extended near-term.
TTD rates GIMO a good intermediate-term play provided earnings meet expectations.
Sponsorship: Good. A key fund buyer recently was the 5-star rated Vanguard Strategic Small-Cap Equity Fund which purchased 47,200 shares. It has a 0.5% stake.
The largest fund holder is the 3-star rated Vanguard Explorer Fund with a 2.7% stake. It was a recent buyer of 9,000 shares.

Currently, 6 analysts follow the stock, 5 have a buy, the same as three months ago.
GIMO has a book value of $4.54 a share.

Net for the upcoming first quarter is expected to drop 44% to 10 cents a share from 18 cents the year before.
RNET's daily chart shows the stock trending lower from 30 down to 12. The weakness in the stock is due in part to the decline in oil prices and rig activity. The stock cuts below key support Tuesday.
The accumulation - distribution line makes a new low confirming the selling pressure.
Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting RNET for a decline to 8 within the next few months, or sooner.
A protective stop buy can be placed near 12.
