The wild jungle of the stock market

Sometimes, I forget how massive the stock market really is.

We spend so much of our energy talking about the big ETFs, the heavy hitters, the Magnificent 7, gold, things like that…

We forget that there are literally hundreds of stocks out there to trade.

For instance, this morning, I did a double-take reading these headlines on Yahoo! Finance back-to-back.

 
 
 

I didn’t have a clue that either Winnebago (WGO) or BlackBerry (BB) were tradable stocks on NYSE. 

To be completely honest, I didn’t know either of them was still a functioning company.

It was a pretty humbling experience for me, to be honest! 

But it’s a good reminder that there’s so much more going on in the stock market than we can possibly track or keep an eye on.

Somewhere out there, somebody probably made a killing on BlackBerry stock today, and someone else might be licking his wounds after a big loss on WGO… 

But not me! Cause I never would have seen either of them coming! 

Now, there are two ways to deal with this.

One option is to simply ignore the vast majority of the stock market and focus on what works for you.

Maybe you’ve started using Nate’s new Income Machine (which you still have a shot to get for free here) and it’s working for you, like it has for many other folks he’s talked to recently.
 

If you’ve got something that’s working, why would you care what happens to WGO or BB or any of a thousand other stocks you’ve never — or barely — heard of?

On the other hand, maybe you want to find those “diamonds in the rough” on the verge of a breakout.

Maybe the fun for you is in the chase.

If that’s the case, then you can only do it with some kind of scanner, some tool that will alert you to opportunities in the market you weren’t even looking for.

Because you’ll never see them otherwise.

My thoughts? 

There’s really no reason to trade lesser-known stocks unless you have a particular interest in them. But it’s always fun to think about how many tickers are out there.

To your prosperity,
