"Running Out of Losers" Screen

Generally I like to pick stocks to shorts that are exhibiting very poor relative strength, i.e. below key moving averages - especially the 50/200 day.  Aside from improving your odds of continued weakness, if the stock moves against you there is a clearly defined level to stop out from (when the stock clears resistance).  An alternative that also provides opportunities to short is to find stocks that are very extended to the upside, and nowhere near any support level, but that tends to be more dangerous because those situations can (a) extend for much longer than anticipated and (b) be populated by "I am shorting on valuation" crowds, who get constantly squeezed out.  Stop out levels are more arbitrary.

Turning to stocks who have not participated much in this now familiar "V shape on little volume" bounce, the pickings are getting slim.  Criteria used via Finviz.com

• Market cap > $300M
• Price > $10
• Average volume > 200K
• Below 20, 50, and 200 day moving averages

(ETFs included)

Example chart:

I've split the list into 2 groups to make it easier to read - above $1B market cap and below.  If after this strong of a bounce you find yourself in ownership of this sort of a company, one must ask why said firm is exhibiting such weakness.
