That's a nice little tool for a quick thumbprint comparison of the list I gave you, John. I may have to break down and get some decent software to do the backtesting. I'll wait and see what s berg comes up with as he will be receiving Q-Analytics soon. On another track, I don't know if you have ever investigated systematic short selling of IPO's of the non-internet variety. I was reminded of the rather poor rate of success of IPO's on a radio program today. It seemed to me that somenone on the old AOL MF board had looked into this, but do not remember. 1. What is the waiting period to be able to short IPO's? 2. Do you know an efficient way to scan or collect information on IPO's that would be appropriate? Thanks, Ocote
