for possible longs, I looked through the list of stocks scheduled to be ADDED to the Russell 2000. Remarkably, most of these stocks have negative EPS, and many have bad charts as well. That's because there are a ton of "new economy" stocks among them, and these all lose money, and of course they fell apart after March, but still have enough market cap to make it into the index. Sorting through the first ~300 stocks (first half of the list), I picked the following with reasonable p/e's and decent charts for further research: ASTX ABFS LENS CRTK ELNT XLTC FORC FRED HTCO IINT IAAI ISLE KP quote.yahoo.com Other than ASTX, I'm not familiar with any of them. ASTX is a semiconductor-equipment manufacturer, which is a sector where sales happen to be in a cyclical upswing right now.
