Subsequent to the last Subscriber Mailbag question concerning watchlists of stocks, I received a further question from the same subscriber:
Yes, I have one more question re: watchlist - your article on the website was really great because I also wanted to know how to find good stocks in general. But I would also like to know at how many / which stocks you personally look at.
I have had a huge database of stocks in the past but want to cut it down a bit because it is hard to concentrate when looking through such a huge number of stocks to find a good pattern. Do you think it is better to use a large database and narrow it down with a screener or to maintain a smaller stock universum you can look at every night?
I made one for our own use, by combining the lists of the Dow 30, the NASDAQ 100 and the S&P 100. If you also look the top percentage gainers and losers and 52-week highs and lows ranked by VOLUME (available almost anywhere on the net free), you will have an excellent list to scroll through for ideas. My personal cutoff is 2 million shares volume.
