These 2009 breakouts came from companies with solid earnings growth and chart patterns that made for technically sound bases.

Returns vary among individual traders in accordance to their risk tolerance, as set by the number and size of trades taken, as well as exit points. 

Of course, not all stocks that broke out were winners. Good traders know to let their winners run while cutting their losses quickly. This list highlights the ones that appreciated more than 25% from their breakout points.
