Active traders can use this list to find potential candidates and screen for the most attractive setups, both on the long and short term, in today’s market.
Note that the 25 Best and Worst lists do include a number of filters in an effort to weed out the more thinly-traded securities out there. The lists exclude equities with a market cap below $1 billion and those with a five-day average trading volume below the 1 million shares mark.
As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.
