Herb,

One of the concerns I have about any mechanical shorting strategy is the possibility of being caught short in a KTEL or ENMD type situation. Sleepy little companies that become internet fads or discover a cure for cancer. Other recent examples, not quite as extreme are MALL, SATH, NAVR and AWRE.

Any thoughts on how to avoid the potentially disasterous losses? What is a logical way to set a reasonable stop loss point? Screening out low float situations would eliminate some of those situations, is that enough?
