  TTD's Breakout Stocks - Long are most suitable for aggressive investors seeking ideal entry points into leading stocks, especially during bull markets. They can do extremely well in bull markets with gains of as much as several hundred percent.

 These stocks can also do extremely well during strong market rallies, or if they are in a industry group that is performing very well. They tend to have strong earnings outlooks and are near new-52 week, or all-time highs.

  TTD Quick Trade Stocks - Long These are leading issues that have pulled back in recent days, but could move higher soon. They are most suitable for Aggressive Investors willing to trade short term. These stocks will do extremely  well during market advances. They have about 74% win rate. During market rally sequences the win rate is even higher. The return is small 3% to 8% in just a few days.

 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's Quality Rating of Stock - KIM - AVERAGE

  KIM, based in New Hyde Park, N.Y. is a real estate investment trust investing in shopping centers. Annual revenues: $1.2 billion. KIM's stock, part of the strong acting REIT sector, breaks out Tuesday from a seven-week double-bottom  base.

  The move carries the stock close to a seven-year high.

  The stock came public back in 1991. Its all-time high was reached in 2007 when it hit $53.60.

  So far today, KIM is trading 2.2 million shares. Its average daily volume is 2.5 million shares.

  KIM's stock pushed higher in the morning and crossed its breakpoint line. (see 10-minute chart).

  The stock climbed to an intraday high in the afternoon at 28.13. It firmed near the close.

  KIM's tape action shows the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $27.66 in the morning to as high as $28.09 near the close Tuesday.

  A key bullish trade came late on Monday when a massive block of 125,202 shares crossed at $27.80.

  That was up from the prior block at $27.68 on 13,465 shares.

  Then late on Tuesday a massive block of 132,431 shares crossed at $28.09.

  That was up nicely from the prior block at $28.05 on 69,570 shares.   

  The tape action showed clear heavy institutional buying.

  KIM  acquires, develops and manages community shopping centers.

 The firm also provides property management services relating to the management, leasing, operation, and maintenance of real estate properties.

  The company  was formed in 1966.

  KIM's 12-month performance chart shows the stock appreciating 6% versus a 4% decline for the stock market.

  Most importantly one can see heavy insider buying taking place in February. That is extremely bullish.

  KIM's long-term chart shows the stock topping in 2007 at 53.60, the top in the prior bull market.

  The stock fell back to 6.33 in 2009 due to the bear market. It has since been working modestly higher over the past several year.

  KIM's daily chart shows the stock climbing from 24 in October to a peak near 27 in November.

  It formed a flat base and broke out in early February.

  The stock stalled and then formed another base.

  The breakout Tuesday comes with modest volume.

  The stock's accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) is now pushing higher showing good buying in recent weeks.

  This year, analysts are forecasting a 6% increase in net to $1.54 a share from $1.46 a year ago.

  The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 18.

  Going out to 2017, the Street looks for a 5% rise again to $1.62 a share from the anticipated $1.54 this year.

  With that "soft quarter" one must be very watchful of the stock.

  TTD rates KIM an average intermediate-term play most suitable for very conservative investors.
