YTD to 3/18/2007

Notice the -125% ROI going Long in this down trending market and the +372% ROI going Short. Reminds me, somebody saying "Go with the flow" or was it "The trend is your friend", same thing. Bottom line, going long in the midst of a bear market, you're gonna get your balls handed to you. Going short will make some nice bank. For this particular filter anyways.
With that said here are the Shorts for tomorrow:
