BZ- From .50 to 5.00+. The company didn't even make money in 2008 and last quarter was the first time they made money, and it was on some Alternative fuel tax joke.
DAN- is one of my favorites.
TRW- another good short- clean stop at 17 or the 200EMA.
Take a look at all of them, they all aren't the perfect shorts but you can see how much some of these stocks were beaten down bad during the decline, and look how much they have climbed since then.
Most of these stocks have an overbought STOCH and RSI, and the MACD are rolling over.
The reason for looking at these stocks, is take BZ for example(chart above) a 32% retracement would a move from 5.25 to 3.25. That is not a bad trade, your risk is easily managed since resistance is clearly defined.
