50% in 90 days !! Would a return like that be a good short ? Part of the power of these high flyers like YHOO , AMZN , etc is they divert focus from many good plays as every one becomes fascinated with being "the one" to slay the dragon. Would a 50% return on a YHOO short be more satisfying than a 50% return on a company no one cares about ? I just ran a screen on stocks that have lost 50% in the last 90 days and there were 13 on the NAZ and 23 on the NYSE. None from AMEX , not sure what that means , yet. I only recognized 1 ticker symbol from an SI thread For screen parameters of -25% in 30 days , I got 34 on NAZ and 15 NSYE. Again , I only recognized 1 ticker The shorts are out there , we just have to work a little harder in this market to find them ???? (myself included) Those are pretty generous annualized returns. I'm sure a more modest rate would reveal a good number more. Telling myself to concentrate on companies no one cares about and make money the old fashioned way....quietly. The screen is located at : 209.26.69.40 The symbol I recognized from an SI thread ? ACRT Rob P.S. HMSC , mentioned Monday as topping this week in this thread closed down 19% on Friday from it's high on Wednesday. <g>
