I'm looking for stock to be shorted, anyone could suggest a website (investiment, financial, forum) who screen stock to be sold short? Something like this could be usefull: http://www.maximgrp.com/research/MaximUniverse.pdf Thanks in advance
It's harder to do this than shortscreen suggests, but maybe it works. http://shortscreen.com/ Also Jan.18 and Jan.25 The Barron's roundtable usually has good trade ideas for longs and shorts... Their shorts tend to be big liquid and optionable stocks, so you can get a couple of good ideas from there.
I've got a mixed portafolio. After the 10th Jan I want to balance all my long, and, if market condition will be confirmed, I will be 60% Short, 40% long. You don't need even stop loss if you read carefully balance, gold will never rust, and sh*t will never be Nutella
in my opinion that ain't a good premise to look for an investment. I'd look for a stock that makes money... you are looking for a stock that is exceeding its upward trading channel or making a "parabolic upward move"... to find such stocks you'd need a stock screener to pick em out for you. MetaStock does offer codeable screens. sure stocks are falling faster than they rise. but you can only find them with a screener which cost some money.. or you can increase your inventory of setups which are rather cheap if you are willing to study. http://www.amazon.com/Technical-Ana...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262730957&sr=1-1
I don't need any screener based on indicators. I need only ideas cause I buy and sell ONLY on value, so I need candidate stocks. After I go by myself studing balances, and then, only then, a graphic analysis to find an entry point. But the most important factor is value: if I think a stock is worth 10 and is trading even under 30% of my entry, I will stay in. Value doesn't lie in the long run, there were a lot of stock depressed in march now trading 4/5/600% up. Short s. is much more dangerous than long, but with it I mainly cover my portfolio trying to stay with the trend.
Study IBD. (O'neil canslim method). Stocks making new highs, breakouts, pivot points. Just think the opposite.
I follow more or less this method, I have more balance parameters to evaluate, then I go with graphic analysis to find entry and exit point. I would advice anyone to go with this method. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAN_SLIM
