I particularly enjoy short squeezes in the worst stocks. It just pisses off the bears to no end, seeing pure bullshit rocket ship higher. With that in mind, with the help of The PPT, I developed a custom screen to help identify low priced stocks, primed for a short squeeze.

Here are the results:

Headwaters Incorporated [[HW]] , Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. [[HOV]] , [[GSI]] , Hecla Mining Company [[HL]] , Beazer Homes USA, Inc. [[BZH]] , [[HEB]] , Zale Corporation [[ZLC]] , Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. [[SBGI]] , Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [[AMD]] , Incyte Corporation [[INCY]] , MBIA Inc. [[MBI]] and AMR Corporation [[AMR]]

As an aside, “The Fly” has been actively pursuing the whereabouts of numerous villains, wanted by the cognoscente for crimes against bloggery. Any information, pertaining to the locale of such persons shall and will be forwarded to the office of your local magistrate for thorough investigation.

Thank You.

    Fly,

    What do you think of RIno. Has it fallen off your radar since late 2008.

    Oh yeah, don’t like your new website format. Feels like more sizzle less steak.

    A Bear Villian:

    From the Slope Dope today:

    “If I look at the total value of all four personal portfolios that I manage, I haven’t made any net profits since February. Across the four, obviously a couple are higher and a couple of lower, but the net result is that the five past months have yielded me $0 for the countless hours I’ve spent on the markets. That is demoralizing.”

    omg, haha, lolz, wow….

    for you GLW peeps… citigroup tonight:

    Corning Incorporated (GLW)
    Panel Prices Remain Stable After Significant Run, Supports Firm
    Glass Pricing For GLW – Watch for 2Q Earnings Next Week

    2H July Price Stable — Data released by DisplaySearch show panel prices flat
    across the board for all applications (LCD TV, NB, & DT) for 2H July. We
    believe unch’d pricing reflects the significant re-stocking that has occurred in
    the supply chain. While GLW bears will raise concerns of rolling panel prices,
    we note that with panel prices up significantly from mid-Dec (LCD monitors
    +29%, NB +19%, & LCD TV +10%) it should not be surprising to see a pause.

    Stability Reflects Current Conditions, but What if Demand Ramps? — We
    believe panel pricing reflects current supply/demand balance, which has
    benefited from re-stocking. However, we believe bias for panel prices is likely
    higher heading into seasonally stronger 3Q/4Q. Also, re-lighting of tanks by
    GLW & competitors also likely assuaged channel fears of glass shortage – we
    see this as positive as it should eliminate glass double-booking risk to GLW.
    Simply put, we don’t view this as beginning of the end for glass cycle.

    Stock Call — Remain buyers of GLW & look for solid print & guidance when
    GLW reports BMO Mon July 27th. Glass cycle still has legs beyond 1H09
    restocking, which we expect will hand off to 2H & beyond end-market demand.
    We expect further positive EPS revisions through year end on strength on solid
    volumes & firm pricing. We believe GLW will raise CY09 glass forecast to
    ~2.3bln ft2 on 2Q call; we see pot’ CY10 total glass market of ~2.7bln ft2.

    That might be a good short opportunity, up 225% from $3 to $12+ for the love of god.

    already in UAUA, for better or for worse.
    Fly is right (as always) this is the time of the seasons for short squeezes. The air is primed for them….the market wants to go up, but yet lots of people are shorting in denial…..you know the result.

    carry on.

    DVAX is gonna explode soon. A trade through $1.55 will test $1.80 IMO.
    Volume through 1.80 should be embraced as a sign of pending good news
    on the HEPLISAV mid year update an a run towards $2.50 could happen
    Beyond that, good news could gap this back to $5-$6.
    Can you say pipe dream?

        breaking the food out would be a direct reference to my son who I swear would make a T-Rex blush when it comes to consumption. 11 years old, built like a semi and loves football……..and food.

        Every time I’m set to take profits on NVAX it breaks the fuck out. Maybe I let this one run for a bit.

      Longs starting to sell!!

      Keep it coming.

      If it pulls back 1 to1.5%, I’ll probably get long 1 x S&P. If (I wish) it comes back to 50 day, I get in 2xs.

      Any thoughts?
