Outlier Threshold

I am trying to do a temporal analysis of the same variable "x" over a period of 2 years. I did a qqplot(x) and discovered an almost normal relationship between the variable x over 2001 and 2002.
However, there were some outliers in the latter half of the qqplot. To select an outlier threshold what is the recommended way when you have financial data with large variance?

This is your fourth post today, again with only a marginally modified
question. Please stop sending it. You won't get better answers if you
annoy readers of various mailing lists by asking the same bad question
over and over again.
