Yes. Those are the 20-25 kind of trades in earning season which one should target for. They give 20 to 50% returns in matter of few months.

When you mean systematic way, the best way I can think of is to run a screen for some of the things you've mentioned (low float, accelerating earnings, low institutional ownership) and get a short list. Put the list on excel. Then, you could take the list and use yahoo to find their next earnings announcement. Then, sort by date. Repeat before every earnings season. Is there a better way? Thanks again pradeep!

Yes. Only thing is many of the small unknown companies are not tracked by Yahoo. Sometime they announce earning without notice.

So you have to track the earnings on daily basis. Plus many services sometime do not track foreign companies trading on US exchanges earning.
