I don't always trust their numbers and would like another or others for comparison. Guess I could calculate it myself as well. Thanks!

Is it a sign that we're close to a bottom? My 2 cents on shorting: 1. Shorting is hard; 2. Shorting is harder in the third year of a bear market; 3. Shorting is even harder when short interest is approaching the highest level in 5 years. I have shorted a few stocks with some success last year. This year I had much less success and was so frustrated I have not shorted anything since June. Yes, the inverse of CANSLIM would be a good starting point for considering a short - but only a starting point. A successful short requires perfect timing, because the stock market is designed against short sellers. Not only one needs to catch the correct entry point, it also has to be entered during an uptick. The problem is, using the inverse CANSLIM type pivot point will never allow an entry because stocks will crash through the "pivot point" without generating an uptick. And those do generate upticks close to ideal entry points are usually the wrong stocks to short. For me, best short candidates are very different than the reverse of long candidates. The safest shorts are the climax runs (I haven't seen these in a long time). In those cases the day of the top usually jumps out in the chart. The reverse situation, a climax selloff bottom, is very very hard to determine. The second safest shorts are failed breakouts. These are not inverted CwH's but the normal CwH's with broken handles or failed to hold new highs after BO. Shorting off continuation patterns such as inverted CwH patterns requires a lot of skill. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
