Stocks of Interest - Criteria

 For me to be interested in trading a particular stock, I'd look to meet the following criteria:

• Traded on a USA exchange.
• Not pink sheets or Over-the-counter.
• Minimum 200,000 shares traded on a daily basis. The higher the better.
• Either options or the stock must have a reasonable Bid/Ask spread.
• Share price over $5.
• Infrequent gaps.
• Over 200 days of trading history.
• Next quarterly earnings report at least 10 days away.
• Optional: Longs are over the 50 DMA (Daily Simple Moving Average) and shorts are under the 50 DMA.
• Optional: -1 > Beta < 1. The closer to 0 the better.
