Here are results of 6 other recent low RS / neg cashflow screens.

These aren't very pretty. October and November were really bad times
to short microcap stocks, because Oct. 6 was a market bottom after a
nasty correction.

screen date performance to date (negative is good for shorts)

3/15 -6%
2/12 -12%
1/4 +2%
Dec. 98 +15%
11/4/98 +76%
10/7/98 +58%

As I've noted before, this screen can work well, but it works
terribly for shorting a stock into a market recovery. And that's what
happened to the Oct. and Nov. screens.

Here are results of the 6/98 low RS/neg cashflow screen (10 months later):

The stocks picked 6/10/98 are now down an average of 42.91%.

This is impressive. I've thought about combing a shorting screen with a stock/option portfolio on high RS stocks. That way when even the crap goes up, hopefully the strong stocks with go up even more, eg AOL, YHOO, EMC, DELL.
