Choosing Stocks: Style; Size; Sector; and Region

  • Every stock in www.iCanTrade.com's database of over 5,000 stocks is identified by Style, Size, Sector and Region. This allows you to narrow down the field so that each Basket contains only the stocks you choose for that Basket. We also include in our database foreign companies listed as ADR's. What's an ADR?

  • So just as Charles Schwab's model portfolio of mutual funds had two funds for Foreign Large Cap Blend, three for Large Cap US stocks, and one for US Small Cap stocks, you too can define your 5 baskets, or even up to 8, that way. You can be certain that only those stocks that qualify will be presented for you to choose from.
  • But wait, there's more! You still need to narrow down the list of stocks to a manageable size to choose from. How to do that? www.iCanTrade.com gives you the ability to decide what's important to you.
