Having a Defined List of Stocks that you know very well will put you ahead of the pack when it comes to picking the right one to trade. I’ve compiled the following list of stocks as an example of what you can use as a starting point for developing your own list as you grow in experience.
My criteria for inclusion on this list are: The Stocks have high option volume, along with high volume in their own right; they have a tight Bid/Ask Spread for both the stocks and their options; they exhibit reasonable Volatility metrics; and they have no obvious flaws in their character.
There’s no magic in the list by itself. The magic comes when you combine the Methods you’re using in your Wealth Building Plan with the expertise of Benzinga, your Stocks & Options Partner, using a group of stocks you know very well to be able to trade the Stocks themselves or use Options, depending on your Method and the guidance from the professionals.
If you’d like to take control of your financial future, have a look at You Really Can Manage Your Own Money and The Diversified Trader – An Overview to get started on the right track. If you’re already in the loop, you can jump right in and start Trading your Plan.
Periodically, I’ll revise the list to reflect changing market conditions and to add or subtract stocks that don’t fit the criteria anymore. The list is sorted by the 90 Day Average Option Volume (High to Low). Have fun with the list, and remember: If a stock doesn’t go up, don’t buy it.
