Each day I go through the top rising and falling stocks today, and look for (a) what the company actually does, and (b) why the stock is moving so much. Hopefully this saves you some digging!
Below are my notes from 7 November 2018 as of mid-morning. (This list is limited to companies with market cap >$100 million, and also excludes VIX, short ETFs, etc, as these just reflect the market, rather than individual companies.)
