Low Float Stocks
Low float stocks are attractive to traders because they have the potential to move higher very quickly because of the laws of supply and demand.
Put simply, the supply of stock (the amount available to be traded) is often less than the demand (buying interest) for the stock. Just like with any good or service, when demand exceeds supply, prices generally go up.
The best low float stocks are those companies with a small market capitalization with the smallest number of shares available to be traded, and generally have a low share price.
Such stocks are often volatile, but can make explosive upside moves resulting in large gains in a short period of time. Because of this, traders and investors generally seek out such stocks on the rise, and many believe these to be the best stocks in 2013.
