Regardless of why the market is going up, sometimes it can feel like the market is passing you by. For one reason or another you’ve found yourself with more money on the sidelines than you’d like to admit. When the market keeps pushing higher like this, it’s easy to believe that you’ve missed the boat.

Let’s face it though, you’re never going to catch the perfect day to buy the market just like you’re never going to find the perfect stock to buy. But who said you need to? You probably don’t drive the perfect car, or live in the perfect house. The stock market isn’t about making the perfect trade at the perfect time. It’s about making enough good trades to outnumber your bad trades over time.
Here I’ve dipped back into the well of the Zacks Rank to find some good stock trades we can make today. These stocks are Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stocks that have Momentum Style Scores of “A” or “B” that are breaking out to new 52-week highs. This gives you the triple threat of stock success. You have stocks that are breaking out on the charts, have analysts in increasingly bullish moods, and are showing big time signs of earnings momentum.

I’ve been using the same formula to come up with winning ideas week in and week out. Today I’ve got five fantastic stock ideas to buy.
Angie’s List (ANGI - Snapshot Report)
Angie’s List, Inc. operates a local services marketplace and consumer review site in the United States. The company provides marketplace to research, shop for, and purchase local services for home, health, and automotive service needs. It also allows its consumers to rate and review service providers in 253 markets. In addition, the company provides advertising services to service providers through its monthly publication and call center; and on its Website, as well as through mobile applications.
I’m kicking myself here with Angie’s List because I passed on pulling the trigger with the stock just below $7. It was on my radar and I came up with a couple reasons why not. Well this time I’m not going to let that voice in my head convince me otherwise. Support lies down at $7.20 with shares above the February high of $7.80. The 20-day moving average sits down at $6.87, confirming the bullish intermediate term trend.

athenahealth (ATHN - Analyst Report)
A big earnings report helped catapult shares of athenahealth from $135 all the way to $165. Shares came down in the three days following earnings, found support at $145 and then have been making the break higher again. The fresh 52-week high yesterday could mean ATHN is on the verge of another probe higher as the market searches for a new fair value.

Bottom Line
You don’t have to feel bad for missing the market move higher. It’s impossible to find the perfect time to buy the perfect stock. Just put the odds in your favor by buying Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stocks that are showing strong momentum and are breaking out to new highs. I’ve been making money doing this all year and I’m not going to stop any time soon.
