| TTD's Quality Rating of Stock - TTM - BELOW AVERAGE |
TTM, based in India, is India's largest automobile maker. Annual revenues: $8.1 billion. TTM's stock breaks out from a seven-week base today on big volume. The stock is a turnaround play. It was $20 back in 2007, fell to 4 and then rallied from to 8 to set up its base. The company has been negotiating with the Indian government on TTM's plans to produce an eco-car. 
TTD highlighted TTM as a breakout at our midsession show on the Web today.
So far today, TTM's stock is up sharply. Volume is running at a heavy 7.2 million shares, almost five times its normal daily volume of 1.5 million shares.
TTM's stock drove higher in the morning and peaked around 10 a.m. It then moved sideways the rest of the day.
TTD's clip of the tape shows some extremely bullish tape action. There are three big blocks listed that traded during the day. The price for the blocks climbed nicely from $8.39 to $8.90 and then to $9.62. That showed very strong and aggressive institutional buying.
TTM produces a variety of vehicles and cars. It is a part of the $60 billion Tata Group that is in turn owned by charitable trusts. It has a technical and manufacturing collaboration with Fiat of Italy. In June 2008, Tata Motors acquired Jaguar Land Rover from Ford for $2.3 billion.
The company said it may reconsider its eco-car investment unless the government allows eco-car producers to manufacture fewer than 100,000 units in their fifth year of production.
TTM plans to launch its first eco-car in 2011 but is waiting for the state to relax its conditions. Concern is focused on the required minimum output of 100,000 units within five years, which could create a market surplus with sinking demand in the slowdown. TTM has joined with other car producers and the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) to request the Industry Minister to relax the output requirement.
TTM officials said the India domestic market is too small to absorb big output of cars at a time of poor export markets.
If TTM imported its Nano to Thailand, it would need to adjust the car's specification to comply with Thai regulations such as emission standards, and the model would have a selling price of 140,000 baht a unit, said a source in the car industry.
TTM's stock has been strong lately. TTD's performance stock shows it up 130% the past six months. That compares with a 10% rise in the S&P 500 index.
TTM's long-term chart shows the stock trading at 8 back in late 2004. The stock climbed to a peak of 21.99 in 2006. It was dragged down with the bear market hitting a low of 3.18 in early 2009. It has since rallied strongly.
TTM's daily chart shows the stock recent rally from its low. The base set up was good. The trading range was tight. There was an attempt to breakout about a week ago, but that did not click.
The breakout today is impressive in that it comes with (1) big volume, (2) a gap move and (3) a widening of the daily trading spread (range from high to low.
The stock's Accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) is in a strong up trend. It has broken out to the upside to confirm the same action in the price of the stock.
This fiscal year ending March 30, analysts expect TTM to post a profit of 12 cents a share. Comparable figures were not available.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2010 ending in March, the Street predicts a 25% jump in net to 15 cents a share from the expected 12 cents a share in fiscal 2009.
The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 60 based on the fiscal 2010 net.
Strategy Opinion: TTM is a speculative breakout, but one that is moving with strong momentum. TTD sees the stock suitable only for aggressive investors. We are targeting TTM for a move to 12.50 within the next few months, or sooner. A protective stop can be placed near 8.50. TTD rates TTM an average intermediate-term play.
Sponsorship:Excellent. The largest fund holder is 5-star rated Nuveen Tradewinds Value Opportunities Fund with a 0.60% stake. It has held its position steady. A key buyer recently was 4-star rated ING Value Choice Fund which purchased 466,000 shares. TTM has 385 million shares outstanding. Funds hold 3.9 million shares.
Insider Activity: Not available. Three analysts follow the stock. None have a buy.

ONXX, based in Richmond, Ca., develops and markets novel therapies that target molecular mechanisms that cause cancer. Annual revenues: $194 million. ONXX's stock fall sharply today after the company filed a suit against Bayer Corp. over anti-cancer products. ONXX's stock breaks below key support near 25 today on expanding volume. TTD sees more on the downside. 
ONXX's stock moved lower at the opening and hit a bottom around 10 a.m. It rallied to cut its loss but then faded the rest of the day.
ONXX is trading 1.7 million shares, almost double its normal daily volume of 953,000 shares.
ONXX
filed a suit against the German health-care
firm Bayer,
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. ONXX said it wants the court to declare that the two companies jointly own fluoro-sorafenib, which it called "a variant of Nexavar," under their collaboration agreement.
ONXX said the two companies continue to collaborate to develop and commercialize Nexavar. It said discussions with Bayer regarding Onyx's rights to fluoro-sorafenib under the companies' 1994 collaboration agreement were not productive.
The tape action in response to the suit was very bearish. This year, analysts have been forecasting ONXX's earnings will increase to 84 cents a share from 3 cents a year ago.
TTD's daily chart shows ONXX's stock breaking below key support near 25. The move comes with heavy volume.
Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting ONXX for a decline to 20 within the next few months or sooner. TTD sees the stock as a trading short. A protective stop buy can be placed near 25.30.
