  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.

Timely Breakout Stocks From Tape Action

(The “breakout List” gives all stocks breaking out of a base of five weeks or more. These stocks have a good chance to trend higher. However, a stop should be used to avoid those that do not work.

They are ranked according to percentage change and classified as leaders or other.

(Trading strategy: One should buy breakout stocks near breakpoint by using market order or stop buy.  They can also be bought soon after a follow through move, sometimes on an intraday pullback. )  


Today's Featured TTD Breakout Stock

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) - 2283.32, up 114.45 - Breakpoint 2189.97

Net To Climb 22% This Year, TTD Targets 2,700

      TTD's Quality Rating of Stock - AMZN  - ABOVE AVERAGE

     AMZN, based in Seattle, sells and delivers products from buyers who use the firm's website. Annual revenues: $281 billion. AMZN's stock drives higher Tuesday and breaks out from its 10-week, cup-and-handle base.

  So far today, AMZN is trading 8.1 million shares. Its average daily volume is 6.5 million shares.

  The move carries AMZN to a new all-time high. TTD highlighted the stock as an accumulation play earlier this week.

  AMZN's stock is a leader. The push higher was due to the company seeking more workers as its online business is growing due to many stores being closed due to the virus epidemic.

  The company said it plans to employ 75,000 workers in addition to the 100,000 it recently hired.

  AMZN's stock shot higher in the morning and cleared its breakpoint line.

  It reached an intraday peak in the afternoon at $2,292.

  It then trended sideways into the closing bell.

  In after-hours trading the stock was off 12.82 from its closing price.

  Tape Action

  AMZN's tape action shows the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $2,168 in the morning to as high as $2,284 in the early afternoon.

  A key bullish trade came in the afternoon when a massive block of 132,100 shares crossed the tape at $2,200.40 (duplicated).

  That was up from the prior block at $2,168.80 on 9,380 shares in the morning.

 Business

  AMZN  offers a wide range of products and services through its Websites.

 The company's products include merchandise and content that it purchases for resale from vendors and those offered by third-party sellers.

 It also makes and sells electronic devices. It operates worldwide. It also offers Amazon Prime, a membership program that includes free shipping, access to streaming of various movies and television episodes.  

  Charts 

  AMZN's 12-month performance chart shows the stock up 24% versus a 5% decline in the stock market.

  Insiders were buyers in the open market at $1,921 and by using stock options. The price was not disclosed.

  They were recent sellers at $2,093 to $2,142.

  AMZN is a long-term leader. The stock rose from $303 back in 2014 to a peak at $2,292 Tuesday.

  AMZN's daily chart shows the stock peaking in February.

  It then fell back due in part to the stock market selloff.

  It rallied to form a cup-and-handle base.

  The breakout Tuesday is solid coming with good volume.

  The push to a new high means there is little overhead upside resistance.

  The stock's CCI momentum indicator is solidly bullish.   

  Earnings Outlook

  This year analysts are forecasting a 22% jump in net to $28.07 from the $23.01 the prior year.

  With the pick up in business, the estimate could be boosted. 12 analysts follow the stock.

  AMZN sells with a price-earnings ratio of  77. That is high.

  Looking out to 2021, the Street has been forecasting a 44% gain in net to $40.45 a share.

  Net for the first quarter is expected to be down 11% to $6.34 a share from  the $7.09 the prior year.

  However, the highest estimate on the Street is at $7.88 a share. Currently, 11 analysts follow the stock.

  For the second quarter, net should be up 14% to $5.93 a share from the $5.22 the previous year.   

Strategy Opinion:  TTD is targeting AMZN for a move to 2,700. A protective stop can be placed near 2,160.
