Or you can choose somewhere in the middle and go with $1.5 billion.Adding an average volume of at least 100,000 shares a day makes sure there is plenty of trading in the stock, and some interest in it.For P/E, a value under 15 usually means a company is cheap, especially with the S&P 500 average P/E now over 20.But since we are looking for tech stocks, and they have rallied, boosting it up to 20 should give you more choices.On Zacks.com’s screening tool, you can add in the sector, which in this case is Computer & Technology.Running that screen produced 17 stocks.3 Small Cap Tech Stocks Now on Sale1.
