The exceptional technology stock report is generated by ClariNet from an analysis of approximately 200 technology oriented issues. For each issue we track typical daily volume and daily percentage change. Then, each day, we examine how far off each stock was from its typical daily volume and change. We sort the stocks according to how deviant they were from their normal behaviour. Thus this report emphasises stocks that have unusual activity for that stock rather than unusual activity compared to the rest of the market.

ClariNet subscribers also receive each day the full report on all the technology issues, as well as the highest volume and highest percentage change technology stocks of the day.
