  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.

Today's Featured TTD Breakout Stock

Weibo Corp. (WB) - 59.33, up 2.66 - Breakpoint 57.57

Net to Surge 157% This Year,  TTD Targets 72

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

      WB, based in China, is a social media platform for people to create, distribute and discover Chinese-language content. Annual revenues: $656 million.  It was started in 2010.  WB's stock rises sharply Tuesday to breakout from a 12-week, cup-and-handle base.

  TTD highlighted WB as a breakout at our midsession video show on the Web Monday.

  So far today, WB is trading 4 million shares, triple its average daily volume of 1.3 million shares.

  WB's stock drove sharply higher in the morning and cleared its breakpoint

  The stock reached an intraday peak at $60 in the morning.

  It then trended sideways the rest of the day.

  Tape Action

    WB's tape action shows the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks climbing from $56.67 in the prior session to as high as $60 Monday.

  A key block trade came in the morning when a block of 27,024 shares (duplicated) crossed the tape at $57.24.

  That was up sharply from the prior block late on Friday at $56.67 on 100,000 shares.

  Late in the session a block of 107,387 shares (duplicated) crossed the tape at $59.33.

  That came on a down tick from the prior trade in the sequence at $59.34 on 500 shares.

  The tape would indicate some institutional profit taking.

   Business

  WB operates an Internet services. It provides ways for people and firms to contact people in real time, interact with others on a global platform and stay connected with the world.

  It operates in two segments: advertising and marketing services and other services.

  WBt offers advertising and marketing solutions to enable its customers to promote their brands and conduct marketing activities. It offers its platform partners with tools and application programming.

   Charts

  WB's 12-month performance chart shows the stock appreciating a sensational 180% versus a 17% gain for the stock market.

  WB's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in 2015 at $16.27. The stock trended mostly sideways through 2014 and 2015.

  Then in early 2016, WB broke out from its long-term based and rose steadily reaching a peak of $58.79 earlier this year. The stock based and now breaks out to a new all-time high. That is very bullish.

  WB's daily chart shows the stock climbing from $40 in late December to a peak near $57 by February.

  The stock then pulled back and formed its base.

  WB advanced to the top of its base and spent a few days there.

 Now, it breaks out with a nice widening of the day spread.

  WB's CCI momentum indicator (bottom of chart) is strongly bullish.

  Earnings

  Analysts expect WB to report a 241% surge in 2016 net to 55 cents a share from 16 cents a year ago.

  Profits for the fourth quarter of 2016 should leap 178%  to 25 cents a share from 9 cents a year before.

  The highest estimate is at 26 cents a share. The company missed in the prior quarter by 4 cents a share. It came in with 14 cents a share while the Street was looking for 18 cents. So, one needs to be watchful

  Looking out to 2017, the Street is forecasting a 123% jump in net to $1.22 a share from the anticipated 55 cents for 2016.

  The stock has a price-earnings ratio of 41. TTD sees that as attractive for aggressive value-growth investors.

  Strategy Opinion:  TTD is targeting the stock for a move to $72 off this breakout.  A protective stop can be placed near 54.

  TTD rates WB a good intermediate-term play provided earnings meet expectations.   

  Suitability:  Aggressive Bulls.
