Watch any merger or acquisition that is announced before the open or after the close. Normally you can short the target company at the open and make $$. IMO the street always opens it high and than thinks about it and takes it down some.

Don, I'm curious how your mechanical short picks (VL/Zacks 5) fared compared to the market indexes in today's mini crash.
