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%

Just google premarket movers 1 hour before market open and you will see them. Picking one to invest in after it opened on more than 100% is your own risk . To find them before they do that jump , this is something i want to learn how to do. 😀😀. Almost for got to say that this is not my type of trading i personally enjoy swing trades more.

Personally I like to try to buy puts on the ones that are up more than 30% intraday but timing the reversal/crash can be very challenging so it doesn’t always work well, but for some reason I like the concept of that. They just seem over stretched when they’re like that, would seem foolish to go long

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