Hi Mike,<\/p>\n

Nicely done tonight\u2026<\/p>\n

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

Could you briefly define a stock in play?<\/p>\n

Thanks,
\nJim<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thxs for attending our Webinar last night. In The PlayBook<\/em> I outlined Super Stocks In Play, which will answer your question. From The PlayBook<\/em>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How about a cheat sheet for finding the Stocks In Play? I asked our summer training class\u00a0of 2012, during one of our hundreds of hours of personal classroom instruction (and in between\u00a0all of my humorous jokes of course), to make a list of the Super Stocks In Play. These are the\u00a0best 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:<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Improved margins.<\/li>\n
  2. Government investigation.<\/li>\n
  3. Raised guidance going forward.<\/li>\n
  4. Revenue significantly better than expected.<\/li>\n
  5. Gained market share.<\/li>\n
  6. New product, new drug, new something to sell.<\/li>\n
  7. The market cannot put a ceiling on earnings.<\/li>\n
  8. Stock +\/\u2013 3 percent with increased premarket volume.<\/li>\n
  9. SMB Radar score of 6 or higher.<\/li>\n
  10. Spencer morning meeting (SMB a.m. meeting): top three ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each of these is defined and discussed in greater detail in The PlayBook<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    I hope that helps.<\/p>\n

    You can be better tomorrow than you are today!<\/p>\n

    For additional reading on Stocks in Play, here are some previous posts on the subject:<\/strong><\/p>\n
