I've learned a lot of lessons what & when to choose a stock. The first I checked is the high and low price for 1 year and the date together with the caps and number of shares. Then guts will dictate me which one. Don't care about what posters says, it is irrelevant. I only apply this to micro & sub-penny stocks. Yours might be different. I take a chance like gambling. Sometime it works sometime it doesn't.
