Ox; I watch the Packaging & Chemicals sectors (basic & specialty) very well. I also still work in the packaging sector for a combined 30 years now. I'll share thoughts and data in those areas as I find time. Some already pertinent previously posted data by me will most likely be linked .

Let me add that companies under $250 Million in market cap are too easily manipulated. They don't have much demand in this market in general, so if a group of shorts wants to hammer them mercilessly (justified or not), they can do so without much hassle. I've noticed more and more of the small stocks I cover, like OCLR, show up on the short restrictions list. I have nothing against shorting but the fact that excessive shorting can push down and hold down small/micro market cap stocks is important to understand.
