I throw darts at the Wall Street Journal. I am sure there are better methods out there!

One of the biggest things I look at is how many shares are outstanding and if that is unavailable then just a basic look at a 1 or 3 months chart and see if there has been big volume days (100 and 200 million shares or higher) and it hasn't moved much. That usually signals a lot of shares out there and it will take a lot to move it. Then, I will look at the post history on the ticker to see if it is getting a lot of attention or not. The more posts the better. Then, look to see what it has done lately. With a few exceptions, if it is up huge the last days or weeks then usually shy away as a fall is more likely. That last point is not always the case though as with BYOC. Then finally, as time goes on you'll see which posters are more trustworthy versus some that are not. Always feel free to run a ticker by here and I can take a quick peek at it.

Cole. See you are a Free member so dunno if you can access this.
Anyway, see the Tools tab up above ?
Click it and you'll see a drop down box.
Top one is Data Tools >
Off to the right is another drop down box.
Go down & click Top Lists.
Brings up all 5 exchanges. Big boards & OTC.
Take it from there.
I like stocks with many trades.
More trades there are, more liquid the stock.
More liquid the stock, easier it is to trade.
I use this ever day.
Also use Level 2. Invaluable tool I swear by.
G'luck.
