"Pink no infos coming back to life" was my bread and butter as well. I always seemed to get big gains from 3-4 per year, covering the ones that didn't work. I'd spend hours and hours dredging the internet for address changes, officer changes and items possibly quite meaningful that were unannounced. Pointless now :( The one thing I have left is analyzing trading activity on the thinly traded ones, looking for bunches of trades that add up to round numbers. On a stock that hardly trades, over a 1/2 hour period there might be a bunch of trades that look innocent but adding them up reveals a round number, like 200,000 shares or $20,000. Nobody says "get me $1,112 of XXXX," or "get me 14,367 shares." It's always a round number when meaningful new positions are taken. imo
It's nice to have a lot of horsepower in the engine room but you need some in the wheelhouse too.
