  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 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 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.

Net to Soar 228% This Year, TTD Targets 18

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

  GLOG, based  in Monaco, operates liquefied natural gas carriers.  Annual revenues: $68 million. GLOG, a small cap play, breaks out today from a 15-week flat base. The move carries the stock to a new all-time high. So far today GLOG is trading a heavy 468,273 shares, triple its normal daily volume of 153,000 shares.

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

  GLOG's 10-minute chart shows the stock pushing through its breakpoint in the morning. After clearing the breakpoint the stock trended sideways.

  Then late in the day, the stock started to move higher again.

  GLOG's tape action shows the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks climbing from #13.20 to as high as $13.91.

  A key bullish trade came in the morning when a block of 7,108 shares crossed the tape at $13.34. That was up from the prior block at $13.26.

  Finally, near the close a block of 8,321 shares crossed at $13.91 near the high of the day. So, the tape showed strong institutional buying right near the close.   

  GLOG is an owner, operator and manager of liquefied natural gas carriers.

  The company operates in two segments: vessel ownership and vessel management.

 The vessel ownership segment consists of chartering out company-owned LNG carriers and the vessel management segment consists of providing LNG carrier technical management services.

  GLOG's 12-month performance chart show the stock appreciating 45% versus a 28% gain for the S&P 500 index.

  GLOG's long-term chart shows the stock coming public in 2012 and trading around $13. The stock declined to as low as $8.76. Since them, GLOG has been working higher in an orderly with periods of consolidation. The push to a new high Monday could draw in more buying.

  Today, it breaks out with a nice expansion in volume.

  The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) has hit a new peak and confirms good buying supporting the breakout.

  GLOG is poised to show powerful earnings growth.

  This year, analysts are forecasting a 228% jump in profits to 59 cents a share from 18 cents a year ago. The stock sells with a price-earnings ratio of 23. TTD sees that as low given the strong earnings growth.

  Going out to 2014, profits should leap 89% to $1.12 a share from the 59 cents anticipated for 2013.

  The company should show a significant acceleration in quarterly profits.

  Net for the second quarter should jump 145% to 10 cents a share from 4 cents a year ago. The highest estimate on the Street is at 12 cents a share.

  Looking ahead to the third quarter earnings should soar 204% to 18 cents a share from 6 cents a year before.

  Strategy Opinion: TTD is very bullish on GLOG. We are targeting the stock for a move to 18. A protective stop can be placed near 12.90.

Profits to Fall Sharply, TTD Sees Side to 30

 TISI, based Alvin, Tex., provides environmental services to the pipeline industry. Annual revenues: $701 million.  TISI's stock falls sharply today after the company forecasted a surprise drop in earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter ending May 30. So far today, TISI is trading a heavy 1.3 million shares, 21 times its average daily volume of 70,000 shares. TTD sees more on the downside.

  TTD highlighted TISI as a short at our midsession video show on the Web Monday.

  TISI said it expects net for the fourth quarter ending in May to be between 52 to 60 cents a share. The Street was looking for 75 cents a share.

  The stock tumbled in the morning after the news. It hit an intraday low of 34.64 in the morning. The stock then trended sideways the rest of the day.

  TISI's tape action shows the recent block trades.

  One can see the price for the blocks falling from $42.60 on Friday to as low as $34.97 on Monday.

  A key bearish trade came in the morning when a block of 23,100 shares crossed the tape at $35.16. That was down from the prior trade at $42.60.

  For the fiscal year ending in May, the Street was forecasting a 6% rise in profits to $1.76 a share from $1.67 a year ago. That forecast should come down.

  TISI's daily chart shows the stock with a gap drop on heavy volume. The accumulation - distribution line (bottom of chart) was in an up trend. So, the news came as a surprise.

   Strategy Opinion: TTD is targeting TISI for a decline to 30. A protective stop buy can be placed near 36.20.
