Stock Selection Criterion

Stock Selection Criterion

Stock selection criteria are methods for selecting a stock(s) for investment. The stock investment or position can be "long" (to benefit from a stock price increase) or "short" (to benefit from a decrease in a stock's price), depending on the investor's expectation of how the stock price is going to move. The stock selection criteria may include systematic stock picking methods that utilize computer software and/or data.

Famous quotes containing the words stock, selection and/or criterion:

    My maidenhead should have.

    itself but pours its abundance without selection into every
    nook and cranny
