Evergreen Solar (NASDAQ: ESLR) logo Financial journalism is all about breaking news. News is easily researchable and journalists feel comfortable voicing their opinions. But the truth is that most news -- no matter how fabulous a company's PR firm makes it sound -- usually means little to a company's stock (it's more about the market's expectations, something that is not very researchable).

And that's why I prefer to write about companies whose stock charts are breaking out, as I have with Mercadolibre (NASDAQ: MELI) here, Solarfun (NASDAQ: SOLF) here, INVESTools (NASDAQ: SWIM) here and TheStreet.com (NASDAQ: TSCM) here (all of which are nicely, and somewhat predictably, higher) and LDK Solar (NASDAQ: LDK) here (which, in my defense, never reached my breakout price of $77; instead it tanked, exemplifying the risks involved with buying stocks before breakouts). After all, while it's fun to learn about breaking news and new products, it's even more fun to profit from the stock market (my apologies to all financial journalists, but you guys just aren't traders)!

It's not easy to top a present like TheStreet.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSCM), but my next holiday stock pick does just that. I give you investor education cum brokerage firm INVESTools Inc. (Nasdaq: SWIM). It's a pretty cool business model that aims to teach people to invest via seminars, getting some juicy upfront fees and reaping the rewards over time through commissions and fees, if they are successful in their teachings.

Besides having a booming stock - which, after a nasty 50% mid-year drop, this week is breaking out to new all-time highs - an incredible trading platform that I use for my own trading and big time investors known for discovering undervalued smallcap stocks, this company has some serious growth. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find another company in the finance arena with numbers that are even in the same ballpark.
