There are always good opportunities in the markets and you don’t have to find the best to make a profit. The very best way to locate stock trading opportunities is to become intimately familiar with the market. The easiest way to do this is to begin with a single sector, like technology or the financial stocks. When you are constantly monitoring the behaviour of a stock or a set of stocks you will begin to notice patterns in the prices that you can take advantage of. Start by creating a small list of 10-20 stocks that you follow on a regular basis and work your way up from there.
