Brig,

Since we’re already running the short portfolio off the other blog picks. Why don’t you run one or do some forward testing based on short interest and then we can share the results with the readers? Just email us your picks in real time so we can post them.

Alot of short targets out there at the moment. Everyones saying to short the homebuilders so you have TOL, LEN, KBH, etc.

Financials are out of favor, know a few that are shorting the XLF. Individuals, MER, GS, BSC, LEH, etc.

People will probably be saying to short GOOG tommorrow.

NFLX always has a huge short interest.

Actually perhaps you should use short interest as a criteria. Say Minimum of 15%?

MCD looks like it could be a good short (maybe) on a close below $50.00.

Best,

Dave,

Look forward to the outcomes of your interesting experiment. Here is another interesting short sale link based on negative EPS surprises.

I see that you’re testing at the portfolio level, which is not not yet available from TradeStation anyway.
Enjoy!
