What would be a good screen for news sensitive companies? My thoughts are: optionable high pe (lots of speculation, how high?) near 6mo high or low? what about volume? other ideas? post your pics for news sensitive stock.
All stocks are news-sensitive at times. The most important thing is that the news covers these promotions. It often happens that the news is little-known, and the stock rushes up or sharply falls down.
Some stocks are more new sensitive than others, for example Google would be more news sensitive whereas stock in a company in a highly regulated industry such as a hospital or a bank would be less news sensitive. Imagine news that a CEO has died unexpectedly; a bank will survive this much better than most tech companies.
