In my study lives a whiteboard. Amongst the grime of years worth of smudging from the stubborn refusal to buy a proper whiteboard eraser lives a few scribbled stocks that gets updated from time to time whenever I see something interesting worth keeping an eye on.
Currently, along with much of the market, a good portion of my whiteboard is focused on stocks that are small caps that were originally put on there waiting for the right TA to trade them.
*Note as I tend to add stocks frequently and remove them in batches, some stocks may have already gone, especially ones toward the top of the list. I've left them here because I'm too lazy to vet them now.
ZYL, NEO, AUO, MSC, ADY, PDN, GDA, GCR, CUO, GRR.
Of these, ZYL was the only one I've traded in and I'm happy to report I got in and out at very good times. ZYL has remained on the list because I believe there to be another trading opportunity to come in the next few weeks.
I operate on the full universe of stocks, my biggest challenge is identifying which stocks I need to pay closer attention to. Metastock's explorer and a few coded filters help, but often stocks slip through the gaps or time is to restrictive to sort through the lists the filters produce. I wouldn't imagine my position is particularly unique, which is why I believe in maintaining lists such as these in forums to be for everyone's benefit.
Also, my portfolio doesn't include entirely smallcaps or speculatives, not by a long shot, but as you're all aware they take by far the most effort to sort the diamonds from the dog excrement.
