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.

FN, based in George Town, Ky., makes electronic and optical products used in a variety items. Annual revenues: $845 million. FN's stock break out Tuesday from a six-week flat base after reporting better than expected earnings. 
So far today, FN is trading 1.4 million shares, four times its average daily volume of 299,000 shares.
FN reported net for the fiscal third quarter of 56 cents a share. That topped the consensus estimate of 53 cents a share.
The stock responded by surging higher in the morning 
and clearings its breakpoint line.
FN reached an intraday high 36.75 in the morning.
The stock then trended mostly through the rest of the day.
The stock's tape action shows the recent block trades.
One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $32.20 in the prior session to as high as 36.50.

FN's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in 2010 at $10.75. The stock surged to a peak of $32.91 by early 2011.
However, the stock faded back to around 10 by 2012. Since then, FB has been working higher and Tuesday hits a new all-time high. That could bring in more buying from the new-high crowd Wednesday.

Looking out to fiscal 2017 ending in June, the Street is predicting a 25% gain in net to $2.39 a share from the anticipated $1.91 this fiscal year. 
The next two quarters should be exceptionally strong.

Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting FN for a move to 43 off this breakout. A protective stop can be placed near 33 giving it room.
TTD rates FN a very good intermediate-term play provided earnings meet expectations.
Sponsorship: Good. The largest fund buyer recently was the 3-star rated Columbia Small Cap Value Fund II A which purchased 241,000 shares as a new position. The fund has a 0.7% stake.
