If you’re looking to make money online, the stock market is a great place to get started. The barrier to entry is relatively low since you don’t need that much upfront capital, and it’s pretty easy to get things going. The markets offer immediate results, so it’s easy to determine if you’re on the right track, or if you need to rework your research methodology.
When I search for the best stocks to buy, I look for three easily identifiable catalysts: a positive reaction to earnings, a high percentage of the float sold short, and a technical breakout.
These earnings winners are great stocks to buy when growing a small account because they offer the volatility and low trading price needed to propel your capital growth efforts.
TIMfundamentals Part Deux teaches you how to find stocks to trade and build a watchlist, and I’ve largely stuck to that process over the last few years. I started going through the top percent gainers on Yahoo Finance several times a day, but quickly realized how difficult that is to do with a full time job.
I couldn’t keep checking Yahoo or any of the other research outlets throughout the day, so I developed a program to conduct my research for me. It builds a top percent gainers list based on stocks that are up on recent earnings announcements, and that fit some other criteria I have found to be important for this niche, while finally providing the latest charts and headlines for each symbol. It also keeps tabs on my earnings calendar throughout the day, so I can be prepared ahead of time while remaining updated as the day moves along.
I’ve been trading based on this research delivery method for the last few years, and this is the best and easiest way to find earnings winners. I only need to check in with the markets a few times a day, so I can spend the rest of the day living my life. Each link below is live and updated daily.
Pre Earnings: Nightly earnings calendar for the following day’s announcements. Updated shortly after the extended-hours session.
Mid Morning: Earnings calendar performance update, Top percent gainers. Updated about half an hour after the open.
Mid Day: Earnings calendar performance update, Top percent gainers. Updated during the lunch time lull.
