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.
