>1. Has the ticker been trading at least 2 million in volume a day? If not, I won't consider it. 2. Does the company have a market cap of no less than 500 million? If not, I won't consider it. 3. Is the stock price compared to the average volume used to determine how much of the float is being traded? This information is compiled with data on how profitable the company is and how much cash they have compared to what is expected. If not, I won't consider it
