Here's a little hint for shorters out there. If Bill Wexler and Roger Babb both short a stock, it's a good signal it's going to tank. I've been following this advice, and it's worked out great. Bill seems to have better luck finding a lot of short candidates, and Roger seems to have a knack at finding the real stinkers of the lot. The latest 2 - ZONA & SPLN - have worked out terrific. Shorted ZONA back at 39, and SPLN this morning at 35. Riding both to 25 or lower. Even though my long portfolio was down all around, I still ended up netting a 2% gain today. My hat's off to both of you! You guys should start up a mutual fund to short junk stocks. Maybe you can call it the 'R&B 100'.... Happy Trading ....
