Top 100 Lowest Volume Stocks

I like to call these bugs bunny stocks, you know, stocks that have only an average of a few hundred shares/day (mind your Berkshire Hathaway has a volume of a few hundred shares a day, but each share of that stock costs more than $100k). The thing about low volume stocks is that extremely vulnerable to manipulation. For example, if a stock that is trading at $5 has an average volume of 1,000 shares/day, then a trade of $10,000 (2,000 shares) will greatly affect that stock.

Without any further delay, here is the list of the top 100 stocks that have the lowest volume (in both the NYSE and the NASDAQ):

Notes:

– Only NYSE and NASDAQ stocks are included in this list. This list does not include AMEX and OTC stocks.
– There are some stocks such as PGEB that have an average volume of 5 stocks a day, but I’ve opted not to list them because they didn’t have any volume this last Friday. I wanted to list only active stocks.
