Super Stocks In Play

BellaGeneral CommentsLeave a Comment

Hi Mike,

Nicely done tonight…

You spoke about stocks in play briefly. I am not sure I heard
the definition properly for a stock in play. Is the selection a function
of Volume only which is +/-3% of overnight volume?

Could you briefly define a stock in play?

Thanks,
Jim

Thxs for attending our Webinar last night. In The PlayBook I outlined Super Stocks In Play, which will answer your question. From The PlayBook:

How about a cheat sheet for finding the Stocks In Play? I asked our summer training class of 2012, during one of our hundreds of hours of personal classroom instruction (and in between all of my humorous jokes of course), to make a list of the Super Stocks In Play. These are the best of the best Stocks In Play. There are certain news events that make a stock a Super Stock In Play. Here’s the list these young guns came up with from my daily instruction:
  1. Improved margins.
  2. Government investigation.
  3. Raised guidance going forward.
  4. Revenue significantly better than expected.
  5. Gained market share.
  6. New product, new drug, new something to sell.
  7. The market cannot put a ceiling on earnings.
  8. Stock +/– 3 percent with increased premarket volume.
  9. SMB Radar score of 6 or higher.
  10. Spencer morning meeting (SMB a.m. meeting): top three ideas.

Each of these is defined and discussed in greater detail in The PlayBook.

I hope that helps.

You can be better tomorrow than you are today!
