TradingMarkets Mid-Day Movers



TradingMarkets just released a proprietary stock rating
method called
href=”https://tradingmarkets.com.site/powerratings”>color=#ff0000>Powercolor=#ff0000>Ratings. This method
ranks stocks 1-10 and the higher the rating, the greater the one-week historical
gain has been.

created by Cesar Alvarez, Director of Research for Connors Capital, LLC. Cesar

The results are based on the average 5-day performance.
