Risk toolkit

Small stocks make big moves — that’s the appeal and the danger. The risk toolkit puts three honest gauges next to the excitement, so you see the risk in the same glance as the opportunity.

The three gauges: cash runway vs. the next big date, a dilution shield, and the squeeze-fuel dial.

Cash runway

Small companies spend money while they wait for their big day. The runway bar shows how long their cash lasts — and marks the next catalyst date on the same bar. If the cash runs out before the date, you’ll see a clear funding gap warning: the company will likely need to raise money first, which usually means new shares.

Dilution shield

Dilution — when a company issues new shares, every existing share becomes a smaller slice of the pie — the classic way small-cap gains evaporate. The shield chip summarizes how exposed a company is to this, at a glance, based on its own filings. Green shield = little machinery in place to issue shares; broken shield = be careful.

Squeeze fuel

A short squeeze — when traders betting against a stock are forced to buy it back, pushing the price up fast needs fuel: heavy short interest, expensive borrowing, a small float. The fuel dial blends those into one 0–100 number. High fuel doesn’t make a squeeze happen — it means that if buyers show up, the move has extra propellant.

Good to know
These gauges exist to slow you down at the right moments. A stock can look thrilling on the chart and still have a funding gap and a broken shield — now you’ll know before you click buy, not after.
