Jan 15-19th Stocks to watch for trading and investing



Hey there Pro Members & Alpha Wolf Blog post readers
I am going to change things up a bit and try to provide more focused videos each week for the members. One video will provide more stable large and mid cap swing and long term hold considerations and the other will have stocks that are higher risk potential day trades and swings that will include penny stocks and low float plays. I recognize that some members have no interest in playing penny stocks or low floaters so I will do my best to separate the two. The videos will be posted directly to the video section for the Pro members.


The following charts are 5 stocks from the 2 videos this week.
