A John Dorfman column on stocks to short
my notes

about a year ago, Dorfman touted several stocks to short
his criterion was mktcap in excess of $6 billion
but with Price/Sales ratio over 100
his sweep caught several stocks:
Avanex, Internet Capital Group, Akamai, RedHat, Yahoo, CMGI

the average decline in the past 12 months is 91%

now... new criterion of mktcap over $1 billion
wiht P/S ratio still over 100
his sweep catches four stocks, each in biotech:
ImClone (IMCL) -- debt equals 2.6 times mktcap
Human Genome Sciences (HGSI) -- profits expected after 2005
Enzon (ENZN) -- disputes with Roche and Yoshitomo
Tanox (TNOX) -- $300k revs in Q4

each has a story is puney revenues, vast promise, and some controversy, if not heavy debt burden

hmmmm, Jim
