I thought you all might be interested in one way of choosing a short sale. It is at marketplayer.com where they have a really nice set of screening tools. Of course, Yahoo doesn't show up because part of their criteria is that the stock is already on the way down (at least a $1 drop the previous day). I thought it was interesting so I figured I'd share. I am not saying I agree or disagree with it, but I still think it is cool. For those who don't want to go all the way to that other site, here is today's summary: 11/04 11/04 Est MktCap 50Da Tkr Description Price Chg P/E($Mill) Volume AvgVol CL COLGATE PALMOLIVE CO 63.75 -1.50 23.4 18,867 1,774,400 1,048,852 EUSA EAGLE USA AIRFREIGHT 29.75 -2.94 25.3 534 209,700 81,724 JCOR JACOR COMMUNUNICATIONS 42.00 -1.44 98.6 1,773 787,600 486,320 KELYA KELLY SVCS INC 32.50 -3.06 14.6 1,122 335,600 76,756 LZ LUBRIZOL CORP 38.31 -1.56 13.2 2,210 468,900 151,192 MAR MARRIOTT INTL INC 67.94 -1.06 23.2 8,670 458,400 236,982 NN NEWBRIDGE NETWORKS 48.19 -10.06 29.9 8,416 7,523,000 988,508 POS CATALINA MARKETING CORP 45.88 -2.25 23.2 841 236,400 51,076 RTN RAYTHEON CO 52.13 -1.31 13.8 12,319 1,267,500 609,508 STGE STAGE STORES INC 35.94 -1.56 21.6 971 1,120,000 554,038 USF UNITED STATES FILTER 33.63 -3.50 22.3 2,786 4,602,699 789,005 It will be interesting to see if Yahoo ever makes their list... -Dylan P.S Their criteria are: Went down by at least 1 from previos day, it is less than 50 day average, volume > 1.5*(average 20 day volume), Market Cap > 500, and -(High 2 Year Change) < Low 2 year change.
