Thanks onepath, I appreciate your participation in this wild idea. The only criterion I envisage is that one likes one stock and doesn't like the other... just a bet on "preference". Of course it helps if the trend (relative strength)is right. One can close the position or adapt it if/when the trend changes.

I'll post the relative strength charts for your pair later.

Here's that "relative strength" chart for your pair. It shows a great break-out from a bottom, doesn't it ? Worthy of inclusion in this spec thread PF. I'm tempted, but hasn't Biovail ongoing problems of its own ?

I set up the "pairs" PF with an imaginary US$20,000 cash. The PF shows current cash of $20,074, but $5,779 of it (the current value of the shorts) is required to be held in the short account, so free cash is US$14,295.

(Of course, that's far too much "free cash" to have lying about. LOL)
