New Features - S&P 1500 Screens, New indicators

Eric D. Brown
2016-12-12

Over the weekend, we rolled out some new features on the site (the announcements of "what's new" can always be found here).

S&P 1500 Stock Screens

For about the last year, the daily report has had a section that provided Long & Short ideas for the S&P 1500 stocks that we have on the site.  This section of the report has been recreated as 'screens' on the site.

You can find the screens under Stocks -> Screens.

Defitions of these screens are:

To get a handle on which stocks are showing an unusual amount of optimism or pessimism, we can look at their current Optimism Index relative to their average over the past year. A stock showing extreme pessimism relative to its average will have a highly negative z-score. A stock with unusual optimism will have a highly positive z-score. As with all screens, this is only a starting point. Some of the stocks have a short history. Some are in the midst of merger talks. Some are on the cusp of a new long-term trend. Stocks shaded in gray were not on the prior day's list.

See the November 15, 2015 report for more background on this screen.

You can view the screens at:

  • S&P 1500 Long Ideas
  • S&P 1500 Short Ideas

New indicators

For the most active ETF's, we have added Shares Outstanding as an indicator. The description of this indicator is:

The shares outstanding shows, in millions, how many units have been created to meet demand from investors. The number of shares rise as demand increases and participants need to meet that demand by creating new units. It is extremely important to note, however, that "demand" does not necessarily mean "buying". If there is a lot of demand for shares from short sellers, then the number of shares could rise as well. So you can see the number of shares outstanding rise even as a fund falls and vice-versa. Usually, if there is a very sharp increase or decrease in the number of shares over a short time period, it's a sign of extreme short-term demand and is best used as a contrary indicator.

You can find a list of the Most Active ETF's Shares Outstanding here.

Additionally, you can add Shares Outstanding to fund flow charts as a secondary indicator.  For example, if you are viewing the TLT Fund Flow chart, you can add the TLT Outstanding Shares indicator as a secondary indicator.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
