re. tax-selling candidate screen: I use telescan's prosearch, which has nice features, but isn't reliable. Today it turned up some false results, so that effort was a bust. One interesting stock I did come across that has low institutional ownership is Turbochef (TRBO). This one is a perennial short-sellers favorite. They try to get restaurants to buy their over-priced ovens, without much success. IPO way back when was by Whale Securities, which brought us PNDA. TRBO's chart is not the best for tax-selling though, as the decline isn't that profound: quote.yahoo.com It also has no liquidity problems. If its worth selling short, it's probably because its market cap of $130 M isn't merited by its sales prospects. TRBO has 55% insider ownership, 5% institutions.
