Traders love virgins!

It's astonishing, but stock traders appear to love virgin stocks. When a stock makes an upward climb for the first time, it seems to attract lots of attention. Perhaps traders experience an emotional high when a stock increases in value for the first time. Finding these stocks is a lot simpler than it would seem. We're searching for stocks that have not ever increased more than 50% from it's first day value and are less than a year old. We also want to look for stocks that have increased 20% from the year's low. We add to this a momentum and liquidity check, and viola, virgin stocks appear! Of course, we only want to identify virgin stocks that meet our efficiency criteria and stocks that meet the slow stochastic entry criteria. The result, yes, several stocks show up on this scan. The prefix will be a ' sign prior to the stock symbol to identify these stocks.
