Screening Filters
Price (max: $5):
- Purpose: To identify stocks that are considered "penny stocks," which are typically defined as stocks trading at a low price, often under $5.
- Rationale: By setting a maximum price of $5, the filter ensures that only low-priced stocks are included in the results, aligning with the common definition of penny stocks.
Market Cap (max: $500,000,000):
- Purpose: To focus on smaller companies, which are more likely to issue penny stocks.
- Rationale: Penny stocks are often associated with smaller, less-established companies. By capping the market capitalization at $500 million, the filter excludes larger companies that are unlikely to have penny stocks.
Weekly Average Turnover (min: $1,000,000):
- Purpose: To ensure that the selected penny stocks have sufficient liquidity and trading activity.
- Rationale: Penny stocks can sometimes suffer from low trading volumes, making them difficult to buy or sell. By setting a minimum weekly average turnover of $1 million, the filter ensures that the selected stocks have a reasonable level of trading activity, reducing the risk of illiquidity.
Why Results Match:
- The price filter directly targets stocks that fall under the "penny stock" category by focusing on low-priced shares.
- The market cap filter narrows the results to smaller companies, which are more likely to issue penny stocks.
- The weekly average turnover filter ensures that the selected stocks are actively traded, making them more practical for investment purposes.
Together, these filters effectively identify penny stocks while addressing common concerns such as liquidity and relevance to smaller companies.
