Christopher,

YOU can short them. You are not constrained by lack of margin (if you are an employee of a market making firm). I see no problem with putting the possibility that a member or members of the research team may have bought before the post. That you believe it is sold into the buying that may be generated by the post shows your lack of understanding of what we are trying to accomplish...picking good stocks with good fundamentals that are on the verge of a significant 3 month gain. Again, if you took the time to review the 15 or 16 stocks in the group of POW's, a large percentage of them went on to do that. Everyone is aware that not all of them will outperform but in the short-term we had a good success rate. As far as recent performance, being short almost ANYTHING has been the best side to be on.

We have tried to screen stocks both technically and fundamentally. On the technical side I use a system with a short-term horizon of 3 months. If you look at the charts for the stocks on the following, you will find that sometimes it takes a bit longer. Anybody who sold into any initial buying of the post, got peanuts in most cases. The best money was made by holding beyond a period where mm tinkering was of any concern.

The stocks in this post were picked using my system and NOT posted as POW's. The POW format was developed to allow for more concentrated research efforts and less of a shotgun approach of posting a bunch of stocks with no FA. You'll just have to believe that we are trying to find stocks that are in a position for anyone to make money on if they can avoid buying at the top of any little run up and cut any losses early. Just like in ANY stock.
