Please help with understanding Tiers

Discussion in 'Trading' started by hapaboy, Nov 17, 2001.

  1. (1) Yes, lower float stocks move faster, for the same amount of buying on a higher float stock
    (2) Yes, lower float stocks move with a delayed reaction ... combine that with (1) and you have a rationale for homing in on the lower float stocks
    (3)&(4) To get sector listings, Silicon Investors Advanced Screen works well ... you can create and save your proprietary lists in that screener. Click on any stock in the screen results and you will get specific information on a stock... look for shares outstanding in the third column... this is the float. Make your own mind up on what constitutes a lower float... in my opinion, its usually a stock with fewer than 100 million shares outstanding... but it depends on the sector... so spend a few hours understanding float levels within different sectors by playing with the Siliconinvestor screener.

    Hope that helps!

  5. Thank you very much! Since it's from UT, most of these are NASDAQ stocks. Do you know of a similar site that lists the NYSE ones?

    Thanks again! :)
