While I'm not about to do your homework for you, I'd suggest looking at today's decliners under the trend watch link, and look at the largest percent decliners for today. Now I releaze you believe in long term shorting, and not this 'day trading', but I think you'll find quite a few worthy shorts which would have been more profitable. One in particular I bought puts on (I don't short stocks, unlimited risk isn't my cup of tea) 8 weeks ago was DSPC. While it was a profitable trade, I let go way to soon, as DSPC went from 22+ to 15+ in not to much time at all. My thinking is there are quite a few others out there with this kind of potential, and I'd be happy to buy a few puts here and there on them as I'm pretty long at the moment. Probably any Semi which hasn't dropped at least 20% over the past 8 weeks would be a good starting point.
