Hi freeus, There a lots of stock screening programs, both web-based and desktop. I personally rarely use them, so I am probably not a good one to ask this question of. There are rather basic free stock screening services available on Yahoo, Quicken, and even right here on SI. I have used various screens from Pristine (for a fee) which I found excellent for certain purposes. Vendit used to like Medved, but although I have this, I have not used it much, and so cannot comment. Perhaps others on the thread might be more helpful here. LSS is currently testing former support, now resistance at about 41. The chart looks very threatening for a long position. It periodically sells off very, very hard and fast: askresearch.com LSS is now overbought, with early technical sell signals. Actually, LSS looks to be a better short to me if it can trade below today's low. But I would be somewhat hesitant to short it also, because I just don't like to short a stock that is above the 200 day ema. Granted, the 200 day doesn't carry the same significance with LSS that it usually does, and one should probably go to a 250 day ema or something. But before shorting it I would want to see clear evidence that failure was underway. This looks very likely now, from a technical perspective. Also, today's candle is short-term bearish. askresearch.com The main problem with buying stocks with low daily volumes is that they are more susceptible to manipulation, and have little or no institutional interest to really drive them up.
