Generally speaking stocks trading on the NASDAQ and those with lower price and lower monthly volume will have higher volatility. Look for stocks that have been horizontally channeling for the last 1-2 months. Buy when they are near the lower portion of the channel and sell when near the higher edge. How about some solar stocks; ASTI AKNS ESLR. How about FLXS a steel stock. Good Luck. |

No one can answer this question since no one know what will happen in the future, and any one tells you that they know is lying and any one that listens to them is a fool |

Get to know a few names that tend to have a higher degree of volatility. I tend to look much more at NASDAQ names such as CSCO, AAPL, GOOG.
Use leverage (either from margin or through buying options). If you want to make money actively trading, you'll have a really hard time if you are buying equity.
Think about it - a 2% move in a stock is decently volatile. You rarely will find 5% moves unless the stock has news out / new research, or the market itself is moving big.
2% on your equity purchase of what $ amount is worth your time? You'd need $1,000 to make $20 which would quicky be lost to your trading commissions. |

Look at stocks with large volumes like Mircosoft. |

There are MANY! Far too many to take the time to list. And they change over time. The amount of movement a stock makes is known as its volatility. And a great measure of a stock's volatility is standard deviation. There are a few places out there that calculate standard deviations for you. Or you could do it yourself with a spreadsheet like excel relatively easily.
But don't just look at the amount of movement. Also you should look for decent volume. Smaller stocks are naturally more volatile, but the amount of volume traded means you could get killed when buying and selling the stock, negating many of your returns. I'd personally not actively trade a stock unless it has AT LEAST 100 times the average daily dollar volume of the amount I wish to trade. So if I wish to trade $10,000 in a stock, then it should have an average daily dollar volume of $1 million. And if it trades at $20 a share, that means the average daily share volume (the most common measure of volume) should be at least 50,000 shares ($1 million divided by $20).
Good luck. |
