Shiloh That Royal Rats group was made up of stocks in the S&P 500 which were lowest priced/most shorted, etc which came from model used by John Markman, the financial writer. I will keep a look out for a second such group. BUT Markman apparently has some theory in re the little stocks that get kicked out of the S&P which I am going to seek more info on. In May he posted some questions from readers with his answers. Here is one of the questions: "Whatever happened to your idea about buying stocks kicked out of the S&P 500--- does that still work?" Answer: "It's still flying high. The concept worked beautifully just last month when AMR Corp. the parent of American Airlines, got the boot. Standard & Poor's will stand behind the big cap stocks in its standard bearing S&P 500 Index for just about any crime against shareholders except bankruptcy.

Since then the stock has taken off, rising more than 200% through April 28 to 4.75 from 1.50. It's replacement AIV was up just 5% over that time, half the advance of the index itself."
