Finding all time low stocks

Hi,

Is there a website or resource I can use that will show me stocks that have recently hit all time lows and then filter them by how long they've been trading, or anything else.

Finding stocks that have recently hit all time lows would be a good start though if the filtering is not available in one place.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

    If someone was to invest in stocks at an all time low, how would they decide which stocks might recover, and which are going bust?

    With markets at all time highs and distorted by QE from Central Banks. Even fund managers are struggling to find value in many individual stocks and bonds. So filtering by low prices is morely likely to identify stocks in trouble than recovery plays.

    Here is a 'fund' rather than equities that is 'low' at the moment and has been talked about on other areas of the MSE forum. It has recovered in the past and has been around since the mid 60’s ... I expect it to rise, but don't take my word for it.

    JP Morgan Natural Resources Acc Fund. Current share price is 478.50p.

    Managed Funds at least give a bit more 'spread' to the risks eh?
  • Thanks for Barchart.com Mvarrier, it does indeed have all time lows, but only for one day and it doesn't have close to all time lows, so the list is very short. I'll play a bit more on the site. Any other sites/ideas like this anyone?

    Not essentially. You may also find out situations with high uncertainty like Quindell

    Quindell does have high uncertainty, no doubt about that. Its price is currently more than triple what it was worth in December and more than it had ever been up to mid 2012. So, it wouldn't appear on an 'all time low' list now. It also wouldn't have appeared on an all time low list in December, because it was probably 30% higher than back in 2011.

    Generally, companies whose share prices are lower than they have ever been are in trouble, unless they only listed in the last few months and are just trying to find their fair level. Example, Just Eat had IPO'd last April at 260p and the following month was available for 200p. This would not imply it was in any particular trouble, and indeed it's now trading at 487p so I'm glad I bought some.

    You could take a look at LSE.co.uk, they have 52 week highs and lows. If you pay for ADVFN they have top lists 52/26/12 week highs/lows.
