It's time for tax-loss selling screens. This year I'm using the free screening tool at moneycentral.com: moneycentral.msn.com For my first screen, I used the following parameters: absolute criteria: stock price > 3 YTD stock price change < -40% market cap < $100 M institutional ownership < 40% price/cashflow < 0 price/book > 2 price/sales > 1 relative criteria: 12-month RS: low as possible 6-month RS: low as possible The resulting stocks are shown in the following link, ranked with the lowest RS appearing first: finance.yahoo.com One note of caution: What we want for tax-loss sellers is a very high % of ownership by individuals, and I can't screen on this. Alternatively, one could minimize both the % insider ownership and the %institutional ownership, but moneycentral.com only provides the latter as a screening parameter. So it will be necessary to go through the list looking for these details manually, and I haven't done that, at least not yet.
