I spend hours looking at popular iHub boards. With a strategy in hand, I narrow down my targets to top 3 based on technical and fundamental analysis. I then do in-depth analysis based on iHub ticket boards to my targets, PRs, News, filings, company websites, company contact calls, and discussion with friends.
Example:
My strategy is pennies with at least 5 day uptrend, some accumulation, and revenue. I then narrow down targets as described above. I feel 80% of penny jumps are based on the herd mentality so reading the signs prior to a jump is key. Check out my board link for more of my ideas.
