Best Mid Cap Stocks To Keep An Eye On - March 13th

Key Points

• MarketBeat highlights three mid-cap names—SQQQ, AAOI, and AAL—as stocks to watch because they posted the highest dollar trading volume among mid-caps in recent days.
• SQQQ is a leveraged ETF that seeks daily results equal to three times the inverse of the NASDAQ-100, commonly used as a short-term bearish hedge rather than a buy-and-hold investment.
• AAOI designs and manufactures fiber-optic networking products and components, while AAL (American Airlines) is a major network carrier operating extensive domestic and international hubs.

ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ, Applied Optoelectronics, and American Airlines Group are the three Mid Cap stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mid-cap stocks are shares of companies with medium-sized market capitalizations, typically between about $2 billion and $10 billion (exact cutoffs vary by index provider). They often offer a balance between the growth potential of small-cap firms and the relative stability of large-cap companies, with moderate volatility and liquidity, appealing to investors seeking a mix of growth and lower risk than small caps. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mid Cap stocks within the last several days.
