I can't short individual names so I am using Ultrashorts.<BR/><BR/>SCC is a consumer one I use but it has 2 of my favorites at the top - Walmart and McDonalds. So its a very imperfect tool for the job. I'd much rather of been short Whole Foods for example.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-87470034243780173712008-06-23T19:58:00.000-04:002008-06-23T19:58:00.000-04:00United States Steel Corp receives an overall rating of A+, which is in the 97th percentile of all stocks in the Investor's Business Daily database.

Only the stock price is changing. I was expecting more weakness than this actually (and hoping for it) to buy lower.
