John, I apprechiate the list and found lots for new names besides our well known dogs (HEB, TERA..) there. Hmm, does it make sense to make loose the market cap criteria as we may find "richer" dogs there. Most internut - "related" dogs command already MCaps >200M up to 1B due to higher share count. I got very cautious on shorting the "paper fliers" (micro cap stocks with tiny floats) as they could be driven in the sky easily. Sure with lots of babysitting they turned out to be real screamers, like BFLY where I think of covering my warrant, which is beyond 7 now, for a 10 point gain. Personally after a couple of such short stories I tend to include the binary criterium: "Have they flown already in the general sharp run-up ?" Just a thought, C.
