[Edit this paragraph] The characteristics of dark horses in the stock market [1] The core technology of accurately selecting dark horses is to identify the characteristics of dark horses, and the most important feature of dark horses is that they are not favored by the investment public. Its specific characteristics are as follows: first, stocks that can become dark horses will always encounter all kinds of bad news before starting. The negative performance is mainly manifested in: the deterioration of listed companies' operations, major litigation matters, condemnation and investigation by regulatory authorities, large-scale expansion in weak markets and many other aspects. Although there are various forms of bad news, there is one thing in common: bad news can easily lead investors to be pessimistic about the company's prospects, and some even lead investors to despair and sell stocks at no cost. Secondly, the trend before the formation of the dark horse also made the investment public have no hope for it. Because the trend is very ugly, usually a long continuous negative line breaks through various technical support levels, and the trend pattern will also be seriously broken. Various commonly used technical indicators also show a weak pattern, which makes investors feel that there is huge room for decline in the market outlook and their psychology tends to panic, thus shaking investors' confidence in holding shares. Finally, the stock that can become a dark horse will have an unnatural volume in the bottoming stage. The effective method of measuring energy shows that incremental funds are actively involved. Because retail funds will not flock to open positions under the double blow of negative fundamentals and technical deterioration, the heavy volume at this time shows that some panic plates are fleeing at no cost, and the stock price remains unchanged when the volume is heavy, which often indicates that mainstream funds are taking the opportunity to open positions. So this feature reflects that the stock is likely to become a dark horse in the future. Investors should pay more attention to this feature.
