Jameson1, NEWL does have Seeking Alpha articles and other analyses.

But this stock is a one trick pony. Everyone is pretty familiar with it at this point. In any event, Seeking Alpha typically writes up stocks that they, themselves are either long or short, which frays at the objectivity of the pieces. At the end of the day, people must do their own due diligence and in fact paper-trade stocks before jumping in. The stocks, more often than not, are actually immaterial. Terrible stocks can be traded well and great stocks can be traded poorly. For every seller there is a buyer at the exact same price per share, as it turns out. Thus each person has their own individualized entries, exits, risk tolerance, liquidity, approach, plan etc. My most basic point is to trade the trend. But even then, trends vary on a same stock, dependent on the different trading timeframes.

The fact is, I can't answer your question. I have no viewpoint on which stocks garner press and which don't. Usually, at the very least, surges in volume, key technical thresholds being crossed (e.g. crossing a moving average or reaching a double bottom/top), or news/PR warrant some press. But as you can tell, I in fact don't concern myself with PR triggers, or even company fundamentals for that matter.

I solely trade the technicals. Full stop. The technicals never lie. They are a receptacle for all the "behavior", PR, momentum etc. For whatever reason, whatever the reality in fundamentals or the catalysts, the technicals remain constant. The stock will invariably hit the targets and stall at the fibonacci or resistance levels.
