      <title>24 Breakout Stocks on Big Volume</title>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this post is a list of 24 stocks, which have broken out to the upside on big volume. The stocks listed in this post have experienced very unusual volume. I believe stocks which have broken out like this are at least worth adding to the watch list. However I must say the technicals on these stocks are not as bullish as they've been in the previous weeks, which may be a hint that a short term correction is near. If the market continues to rally however, these stocks should continue demonstrate strength in my opinion.<br><br>As stated at the bottom of this post, I've picked two stocks from the list which I may be speculating with in the weeks to come. A month ago I chose to speculate with STEC Inc. (<a href='http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/stec' title='More opinion and analysis of STEC'>STEC</a>) using call options. The results from the trade can be read <a href="http://optionmaestro.blogspot.com/2009/07/stec-options-trade-update-over-1000.html">here</a>. A couple weeks ago, I chose to speculate with a stock LaserCard (<a href='http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/lcrd' title='More opinion and analysis of LCRD'>LCRD</a>). The results from that trade can be read <a href="http://optionmaestro.blogspot.com/2009/07/lasercard-option-play-pays-off-big.html">here</a>.</p>]]>
