Costco Wholesale, Walmart, Target, Burlington Stores, and Dollar General are the five Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. “Toy stocks” is a slang term for the shares of very small, thinly traded companies—often penny or micro-cap issues—that many investors treat more like playthings than serious, long-term holdings. Because they change hands infrequently and in tiny lots, toy stocks tend to have wide bid-ask spreads, wild price swings and a high risk of market manipulation. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
