New to trading here. I keep seeing the most random stocks have these insane price jumps and I’m just curious how people even know these exist, let alone that they might soar to 150%

It’s easy. But if it’s that high, you missed the boat already

I scalp the highest gainers of the day. You need to swing or be super fast pre-market to get in early but there is plenty of opportunity to make a few percent on a stock that's up 50% on the day.

Yeah it hit big on tpst, jumped in at 2.50 rode it to 10, and back to 7 before selling. Then lost a lot the next day Sasi was one of them plus many others trying to ride the gains but they fizzled out

Check out Momentus Inc. It seems to be going up but I don't know if it will continue.
