What is your Stock's Personality

What is Your Stock's Personality?
How Fast Are Its Available Shares Changing Hands?
How Volatile Is It?

A stock's volatility is inversely correlated to its float.  The smaller the float the more volatility the stock.  Float Analysis shows that the smaller the float turnover the more volatile a stock will be.  Thus Stocks are different, one to another; they have personalities and Float Charts dramatically show this by showing how fast or slow their floating supply of shares are changing hands.

Steve likes to compare stocks to the animal kingdom.  Big cap stocks like General Electric (GE) have such large floats that it can take months and years for the float to turnover once.  They are like big dinosaurs that move slowly.  At the opposite extreme are stocks that are like buzzing bees.

Look at the two charts below of General Electric (GE) and Tasr Inc. (TASR)

TASR is a buzzing bee.  It has a float of 51.8 million shares.  Those 51.8 million shares are changing hands every few days.  Each gray rectangle is a float turnover and shows you the time it takes for one float turnover.

Now look at GE.  It's a dinosaur, it has a floating supply of 10.4 BILLION shares. It takes almost two years for all its float to turnover.  The chart of GE is a Monthly chart.  The gray rectangle shows you the amount of time it takes for it to go through a turnover of its float.    

TASR is a very speculative and volatile, GE is not.
