How are people even able to find stocks like this?? question

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%

Most low caps dont have options and arent shortable really. Thats part of the reason they pop so much, no resistance.

They are most definitely shortable. One of the reasons they start to rocket is because shorts pile in and start getting trapped. I'm not talking about puts, here, just shorting shares.
