  Investors should  tend to try to go with a strategy that fits with the stock market's trend, unless there is a special situation play.

  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 also has  special feature sections on  Educational Tips on Investing.

Today's Featured TTD Breakout Stock

Chemours Co. (CC) - 36.28, up 1.89 - Breakpoint 35.79

Net to Surge 137% This Year, TTD Targets 44

    CC, based in Wilmington, Del. produces chemicals such as titanium products. Annual revenues: $5.4 billion. CC's stock moves sharply higher Tuesday and breaks out from a six-week flat base.

  The stock was highlighted on Monday as a potential breakout. It was also featured as a breakout at TTD's midsession video show on the web Tuesday.

  The breakout carries CC to a new all-time high. That is bullish since there is no overhead resistance. However, the tape action late in the day was tricky.

  So far today, CC is trading a heavy 5.3 million shares, triple its average daily volume is 1.9 million shares.

  CC's stock drove sharply higher in the morning and cleared its breakpoint line. (see 10-minute chart).

  The stock reached an in intraday peak of $36.88. It then trended sideways the rest of the day holding the bulk of its gain.  

    Tape Action

  CC's tape action shows the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $34.39 in the prior session to as high as $36.65.

 There was a key bullish trade in the morning when a block of 43,809 shares crossed the tape.

  That was up from the prior block trade at $34.39 on 54,808 shares.

  Then late in the day a massive block of 2,047,228 shares (duplicated) crossed the tape at $36.28.

  That trade came on a down tick from the prior trade at $36.32 on 100 shares. It was also lower than a prior block trade.

 So, the late tape action would indicate institutional profit taking. So, one needs to be watchful of the stock.

TThe titanium unit produces titanium dioxide and premium white pigment. The other unit makes fluoroproducts, refrigerants and industrial fluoropolymer resins.
