π Definition & Meaning
Active Stocks are the securities that often star in the daily drama of financial markets. These are heavily traded shares on a particular stock exchange within a given period. These stocks don one particularly show-stopping attribute: high trading volumes. That means there are lots of folks bobbing and weaving, making moves on these stocks, contributing to their “active” status.
Why should you care? Because these stocks often provide the best opportunities for trading profits (or for wiping that smug smirk off your face if it all goes wrong!).
