$25k Challenge Watchlist
As mentioned in my Book, my watchlist is the source of all my trades. Since, I run a large private group of 1000 traders, my universe of stocks is around 100 now and it keeps changing every month. But at any given time, I trade not more than 10 symbols from this watchlist. The watchlist shared here is a the list I had when I used to trade on my own and the group was not in existence. But I highly recommend that you create your own list based on the stocks you like to trade. The higher the stock price, the better it is. I prefer stocks trading above $100/share.
$25k Options Challenge Watchlist
This is the watchlist I used to use for each of my $25K options challenges when I was doing things by myself. As mentioned in my book, these are stocks that I personally follow because I am a technologist by profession and so are overwhelmingly tech stocks. If you want a more diversified stock list which spans all sectors of our economy but still fit my stock selection criteria, scroll down.
