TradingMarkets Mid-Day Movers
By John Patrick Lee | TradingMarkets.com | January 25, 2006

TradingMarkets just released a proprietary stock rating method called PowerRatings. This method ranks stocks 1-10 and the higher the rating, the greater the one-week historical gain has been.

PowerRatings were created by Cesar Alvarez, Director of Research for Connors Capital, LLC. Cesar looked back at more than 5.5 million trades between Jan 1, 1995 and Dec 1, 2005. The results are based on the average 5-day performance.
