Chris; I have all the Nasdaq stuff already inported into lotus 123 v2.4 , ans could mail you a work sheet, as an attachment..the rub is it would take a lot of time, each work sheet is 1.3megs..I have done all since 1-95, and sorted them with the heavy shorts at the top, re-did the increses/decrese percentage..also did a percetage on short vs average daily volume..also wrote a batch file that lets me serch for a particular stock, and pulls out that stock, going through all the files, and appends each find into another file, which I can then import , makeing a stand alone wrk for that particular stock , then sort the dates, and even graph it to compare with a price graph, ( which must be done to make any sence of it all ) sometimes the bears win, but more often than not they get picked off, spoting the pick off points and timing them is what you have to do..short at the same time every one else is shorting and you will get toasted, the pros are watching the action and have much more up to date data than we do. Some brokerage houses short stock all the time. Jim |
