So we want stocks with low floats, and low # of shares shorted. I definitely understand about volume. And you're tracking all this with SCANZ right?


Yeah, better chance with those, but you combine that with really good news, and it depends on what's trending that day. Sometimes good news doesn't get the job done.

The volume tells you what people are buying that day. But it has to be consistent, and above whatever the float number is.

Plus you're looking for something that hasn't had a recent sell off. Bagholders waiting to sell when it comes back up.

I thought having a high short interest would cause it to go up more/faster?

Nah, it's about the demand.

high demand and a low number of free shares will make anything go up. But to get the real runs it has to be a consistent demand. That's going to be the main thing you're looking for, if the demand is going to be there. That's why news can be important.

Low short means there's not too many shares shorted so there won't be people or institutions fighting the price going up.

If it is highly shorted then you have people and probably institutions that don't want to see the price go up and will fight it. That's when you start seeing fast up and down price action, halts, and stuff like that trying to scare people away.
