This is my effort to uncover oversold opportunities. Each one of these ideas have several mean reverting attributes with my market outperform expectations. The search started with stocks below 2 billion in market size for US listed exchanges, NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, OTCBB, OTCPK. The result for this stock search was an average market size of 35M.
These ideas are not the best managed companies but contain attributes
for potential market out performance. The approach included analyzing insider activity
as it relates to current market price, shares in float and existing share
ownership. Review of historical shorts as % of float, stock’s performance
versus its industry and market. Reputation
of Institutional ownership and its changes to measure conviction. Multiyear review of debt and share count changes.
Relative and historical valuations to include changes in financial strength, P/TB,
EV/Sales, EV/GP, F score,short ratio.
Think of this as a watch list to be considered on further weakness and research.
