Newbie has many questions,is this the place to ask? Here or on Georgia Bard's Corner ... I am trying to focus there if possible. 1.How do you find your stocks? (word of mouth,research,etc) All you try to find solid investors that do good DD and learn from there posts and search the internet for tips. Remember sometimes if you follow someone that is a short term trading you end up get a day trade tip and get hung. Look for solid factual DD. Make sure you know why you are gambling your money. Even the best DD is just a momentum play. 2.Is float the amount of shares available to be purchased? Float is the amount of shares in the open market for trading, Outstanding is the total number of shares Authorized is the total number of shares that can be issued 3.When a company's volume is flat for many months then it goes wild with no apparent news ...whats the deal,pump & dump? GLCP Boob made a mistake by taking that stock and his DD and bring in day traders at the bottom ... It is a few weeks away from happening and it foes have potential but to a degree you are right. It appears to have stablized now ... but wiht day traders who knows. it wmay be one they truly like and have free shares and so forth. 4.What would be the 3 or 4 most critical criteria to look at in evaluating a company?(Just for a quick evaluation) 1. Fully reporting 2. Stock structure 3. Potential (Product, industry, marketing, patent. etc etc etc ) 4. Time frame to defining itself. 5.And what should these numbers look like to be acceptable? Depends on what numbers you are refering to 6.How can a stock close at one figure then open at another? Buying coming in it will gap up and selling it will gap down. Market orders make it fly either way. Supply and demand GB
