A beta of 1 means the stock tracks the market directly, e.g. 1% rise in the market means 1% rise for the stock. The higher the beta, the more riskier the stock, yet the greater the return potential. For example, if the stock market increases by 3%, a stock with a beta of 2 should increase by 6%, twice as much. So for day traders, high beta stocks may be the way to go.
The following stocks have betas above 3, PE ratios less than 20, PEG ratios less than 1, and market caps greater than $500 million.
