Actually I think nasdaq is best place to find screaming shorts. They are certainly easier to find, although I'm not fully bi-directional yet. Although good bargains are in the nasdaq, there are also the so obvious time bombs and water balloons. When they get low enough in price they drop out of sight - the cut in the newspaper is generally based on stock price. There is a similar, maybe more marked, bias in the S&P indexes that makes it hard to quantify. Stocks are "listed" and "de-listed" when they make or miss the cut on performance. I wonder if the options put/call premiums take that into consideration. Given that conventional wisdom would take money (marginally) out of index funds, what is the direct leverage of SPX selling to our stock favorites? There is a quantitative answer to this, I think it is manifest in the intraday chart by the constant-sized block trades. So I think that maybe more than market sentiment, this effect will bring the daily cross-talk to sectors otherwise weakly related to the market ie tobacco stocks. ok thats my monologue for the day.:) Greg
