Toy Stocks To Consider - July 15th

Costco Wholesale, Walmart, and Target are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. "Toy stocks" is a colloquial term for small-cap or low-priced shares that tend to have limited trading volume and extreme price swings. Investors often treat these names more like speculative playthings than serious investments, pursuing quick gains through short-term trading. Because they usually lack solid fundamentals and liquidity, toy stocks carry unusually high risk. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
