Exposing yourself to uncommon stocks
An easy way to expose yourself to stocks that you don’t really know exsist is to find a movers and shakers list. This is a great way to find a group of stocks that you may or may not be familiar with or are in a different industry then you typically follow.
The drawback of this method is that the companies might not have any meaning to you. Thus creating more work for you when researching the company. And will create more work then the typical 15 minutes per day to keep up on the stock as you’ll have to watch the industry / company more carefully.
The advantage, however, is that it exposes yourself to many other companies. I typically find a list and then run a few (or all) of the companies through a rule one calculator. This shows me the growth rates for each company. From here I can decided whether the company has any meaning or could have meaning to me.
An example of one of these list is the following image from Minyanville. You can see the attachment below in a larger format if you click
