Scanning Made Simple: Stock Scanning for Beginners
Thursday, November 6
2:30 pm – 3:15 pm

Scanning for stocks used to mean either complicated formula languages or canned limited choices. In this workshop, we will show you that anyone can scan for stocks based on any conditions imagined. We take you step-by-step through dragging items from your charts and instantly transforming them into conditions that can find stocks in seconds based on your own ideas. We will scan for stocks moving this minute on strong volume, stocks with earnings growth, and even stocks experiencing accumulation by institutions. This is just the beginning. It’s worth coming to class to jot down the stocks we uncover with unprecedented drag-and-drop two-second scanning technology.

Why Small-Cap Stocks Perform Well During the Tail End of Recessions

In 1990, the US economy was on the ropes. That would seem to be a great time to stick with “safe” large stocks. But savvy investors know that smaller company stocks hold a great deal of promise at such times. Many look ahead to better times, and buy these smaller stocks when the economic environment looks weak. That helps explain why the Russell 2000, a proxy index for small stocks, doubled from the beginning of 1990 to the end of 1992. Could we see such a rally again soon? After all, we have been in an economic slowdown for quite some time, and investors are starting to sense that the economy may turn up in coming quarters. David Sterman, managing editor, TheStreet.com, explains if that happens, then the Russell 2000 could again post out-sized gains.
