RIMM, based in Canada, sells wireless cell phone handsets, software, and provides related services. One of its key products is the BlackBerry line of phones. Annual revenues: $3 billion. RIMM, a leader in the prior bull market, breaks out today from a six-month, cup-and-handle base. Volume so far today is running at 17.5 million shares. The stock's average daily volume is 18 million shares. 
The tape action in RIMM was strong early in the day. TTD's clip of the tape shows a big block of 113,428 shares crossing on a nice up tick to $130.47 from the prior trade at $130.41.
The trade was one of the largest of the day. It showed aggressive institutional buying.
TTD highlighted the stock as a breakout at our midsession show on the Web today.
RIMM has a beta of 2.44, which means it has double the volatility of the stock market, which is at 1.00 as measured by the S&P 500 index.
TTD's performance chart shows that in the past 12 months, RIMM's stock has appreciated 190% versus a 5% decline in the S&P 500 index.
RIMM's primary revenue driver is the sale of handsets to carriers worldwide that promote the company's BlackBerry line of devices.
In addition, RIMM generates access service fees from
carriers for each BlackBerry subscriber. Software licensing revenues are
also generated from corporate clients using the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server software in their wireless data management. 
TTD's long-term chart shows RIMM in a powerful bull market.
The cup-and-handle base is better seen on a weekly chart. TTD's daily chart shows the pattern too with some gyrations. The gap move higher today is good. However, the stock does lack big volume. That could come in if the stock were to hit a new high, which is quite possible.
RIMM's TTD momentum indicator (top of the chart) is modestly bullish.
The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) has been trending higher. That indicates there is good underlying buying.
This fiscal year ending February of 2009, analysts predict RIMM's profits will jump 67% to $3.77 a share from $2.26 a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 35. TTD sees that as reasonable given the earnings growth rate outlook.
Next fiscal year 2010, analysts predict a 33% gain in net to $5.01 a share.
Net for the upcoming fiscal first quarter ending May 30 should surge 118% to 85 cents a share from 39 cents a year ago. The highest estimate on the Street is at 88 cents a share. The company tends to come in slightly above the consensus. Net for the past four quarters topped the consensus by one to 4 cents a share.
Strategy Opinion: RIMM remains a hot stock. If the stock can make a new high, it could draw in some big buying. TTD is targeting RIMM for a move to $1.60 a share within the next few months. A protective stop can be placed near 125, which is tight. TTD rates RIMM a good intermediate-term play provided earnings remain on target.
Sponsorship: Excellent. The top four fund holders all have a 5-star rating, highest possible. The largest holder is Fidelity Contrafund with a 1.8% stake. It was a recent buyer of 109,000 shares. 3-star rated Janus Fund added 119,000 shares.
Insider Activity: Not available. Right now, 26 analysts follow the stock, 21 have a buy, up from 18 three months ago.
