Listener question:

• Question from Abdallah Badwan - Hey I am new to options but I have been studying them for awhile and the only thing I don't understand is how do I know what stocks to choose if I want short term gains. In other words I want to be a short term investor and I want to know how to narrow down the stocks I want to invest in on a daily basis. How do I make a watchlist of stocks that I can invest in on a daily basis for short term gains.
