How to find growth stocks

Find stocks with the following characteristics: 

  • price at 52wk highs or new all-time highs
  • stock is trading above its 50day moving average and the 50day moving average is above the 200day moving average
  • trends upwards after a earning report
  • markets are up (using the same 50 and 200-days formula as for the stock)
  • a market cap of $5 billion or less. (it takes a lot less money to push a $5 billion stock higher than it does a $500 billion market cap stock)
  • the float (the number of shares of a stock that are actually available for trading) is less than 20% of the total number of shares outstanding. 
  • high short interest (the quantity of shares that have been sold short by those who believe that the stock will go down)
