Topic: Short candidates
Posted: Friday, October 3, 2008 9:43:50 AM
Hi folks, I am interested in seeing what sorts of stocks people are looking at for short candidates.  I see a lot of the financial stocks are probably mostly bottomed out, most of the downdraft is over at least.

So I am wondering what stocks are standing out that are more run of the mill that look like they could making some bear moves over the next few months.  Thanks.

Give me a sense of what you think makes a stock "volatile".  I can try to move from there.

I would imagine a stock that moves on average 5 percent a day vs stocks that move 1 percent a day.  Stocks that would generate larger than average option premiums.

20 out of what group?



How do you want to measure volatility and over what time frame?

I think volatility over a 6 month period.  I am unaware of different measures of volatility, would welcome any reference you may have on that.  Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to put together a scan that will find say the 20 most volatile stocks, and haven't been able to figure it out.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to make a scan for all stocks at their 52 week high, and have not been successful. Would someone be able to show me how to do it? Thanks.
