Top Toy Stocks To Consider – May 17th

Walmart, Costco Wholesale, and Take-Two Interactive Software are the three Toy stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Toy stocks are a colloquial term for small, low‐priced equities that many traders treat more like playthings than serious investments. They tend to be thinly traded and highly volatile, offering the lure of outsized gains but carrying a correspondingly high risk of steep losses. Because their prices often swing on little more than rumor or hype, toy stocks are generally considered speculative rather than fundamentally driven. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Toy stocks within the last several days.
