How do you pick stocks to trade? Everyone’s approach for finding trading prospects is a little bit different. And, that’s perfectly fine. We shouldn’t all be chasing the same ideas. If we were, things would get crowded pretty quickly. There are some bigger-picture premises, however, all of us should be looking for when we’re scouring the market for potential trades....
Stocks were rebounding late last week. But, it was a feeble effort… too weak to actually drag the market back into the black for the holiday-shortened stretch. It was the first losing week in the past three, and while both of the indices only suffered nominal losses, where and how they stopped climbing is concerning. The S&P 500 as well...
