Sure Ernie. I like to use Barchart: barchart.com I look at their Top 100 list - 100 top returning stocks over the last 52 weeks, and Top Stocks to Own, essentially the highest alpha stocks. I also have set a few screeners. Improving relative strength over 100, 50, 20 days. All stocks $2 to $5 with +100 alpha. I run most scans for $2 to $5, but every now and then I will change to pick ALL stocks .01 up to $20. Pretty sure WYY hit the 100% alpha when I dropped it to pick up everything down to .01. Most times I will just hit the headlines on Ameritrade. Sometimes I will check for news, transcripts on Seeking Alpha. Sometimes see what analysts say. Jmho that people give themselves too much credit, thinking they know what is going on with a company. D a most recent example. I didn't read anyone seeing it coming. Not seeing any news on VBIV today, but someone must know something. Up 21% today, on 3X avg. vol., and now 47% after hours. The more I see, the more I understand that I don't know anything. I'm just trying to get in on stocks the big money SEEMS to want. Losers are part of the game. Selling losers is probably my biggest downfall. I've decided I need to scale out, just like I like to scale into winners. In an IRA, you can buy them back the next day as long as you don't also them in a taxable account. "May I be so bold" That will be enough of that. lol! Anything, anytime buddy.
