    The best stocks to swing trade will have;
    Most of their stock owned by institutions.
    AND
    A degree of uncertainty about the future prospects of the stock
    AND
    Have a good degree of volatility

    I also would prefer an underlying up trend or down trend otherwise if the stock is flat the volatility will tend to dissipate over time without a driving force like commodity price changes.

    Example MXL Zoom out to the weekly and you see a blurred uptrend. This blurred uptrend magnifies the potential earning you are able make on the stock.

    So it will be that stock that if you go on StockTwits will have some people saying what a piece of garbage and other people saying this stock always did well or is going to change the world.

    Comments always always welcome

    might wanna keep HMNY on radar - nice little move this morning. OVAS is another one that may be getting ready to move soon.

    and have been working on playing both sides and have made a small fortune shorting a couple on paper and think i will be trying for real next week and so hope i get another one like DRYS - has been a great short all the way down from the $7's and it peaked over vwap this morning but no bottom yet lol

    Looking at the 6 month charts $CIE looks like a bargain at current levels. No position but watching.

    Swing trade possibility in PI setting up. General market pullback is largely expected as well.

    Is there a website that I can get streaming stock news (small caps, micro caps)? If so, can you let me know what it is. Thanks in advance.

    I like the mobile apps by Tradewise and Seeking Alpha

    Seeking Alpha sends me notifications anytime there's a story or a move from my list.. And Tradewise has a "trending" page showing anything I might want to add to my list

    JDST might be the better one to watch. It's fallen 25% today in response to the rate hike which makes it highly undervalued for the time being.
