re: tax loss candidates - on my screen, the cashfat biobusts are much more scant this year than last - you might just spend a lotta time for naught trying to find any others imo.
Looked over your list and have SNFCA SCKT COHN on high watch for more dumpage.
LEE posts Q4 on 12/6 premarket and setting up nicely as a (previous) bk turnaround - bidding a small order at 2.20 or will wait for filing.
FRAN (not mentioned previously) reports Q3 on 12/5 premarket which I'll be waiting to enter in any sentimental dumpoff below $6.
Nelson, I'm with you on the miners. I've done pretty well on the base metals guys this year, but the precious metals stocks are sitting near lows (for many of them). I like silver as well. I just bought PAAS today at 14.82 and am looking to add more exposure. I think PAAS can go to $22 or so (probably not just from the tax loss rebound though). This is a 6-12 month hold for me where I'm getting it at a good price.
