Gain% = gain percentage attained at the previous close.

Vol(00s) (Desc) = volume in hundreds.

VolPctCh (Desc) = Volume percent change. Stocks with a high percent of change can be a good indicator of stocks with increasing interest from investors, so they may make a sharp move up.

Industry = The industry that the company is in.

Sector = The sector that the company is in.

Industry Sector Rank (Asc) = The rank of the stock's industry and sector. Under valued stocks in a higher ranked sector (lower number in the Rank column) have a good chance for a quick recovery. Click on the column header to sort stocks by this column, click again to reverse the sort order.

Stock Current Earnings Factor Ratio Undervaluation = under valued in comparison to the stock's bench mark.

Avg Of High = average high price for this stock for this minute on an average trading day. When monitoring the stock market in real time, this price can be used in combination with the prices in the 'Avg Open On The Low End' and 'Avg Of Close On The High End' to find a range indicating the likely direction of the stock's price from this point forward.
