Price Level Off Point: $38.50
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 3.2%
Trades on NYSE
Sector: Services

Finally a stock not at its 52-week high, but it is only a few dollars away from it. This one was down .53-cents toady or 1.4%. ASR is up from the $30 level since February. It is also climbing after hours instead of going down from an initial spike. The services sector hasn't been a great sector for shorting with only an average drop of 2.7% from its next day peak compared to other sectors that average closer to 5% drops. Given the recent slew of not-so-great opportunities to short I certainly wouldn't force the issue here with a short.

Cramer's second pick was EZM EuroZinc Mining Corp.

Closing Price: $2.66
After Hours High: $3.28
Percent Increase at High: 23.3%
Price Level Off Point: $3.16
Percent Increase at Level Off Point: 18.8%

Sector: Basic Materials

This is being pushed to a new 52-week high after hours now. It had a big down day today, going down 10%. The Basic Materials sector has been pretty good for shorting, averaging a 5.8% drop from its peaks. Two other "under-10" stocks (KRY and OMN) had 10.9% and 10.2% drops from their peaks, keeping in mind that KRY did have higher peaks but had a large drop right at the opening bell. There might be a lot of people that would like to short this but can't due to the price. In my digging into brokers (http://compareonlinebrokers.blogspot.com/) there are some brokers who have minimum prices on the shares you can short. This is a very risky one to short for those who can (me not being one who can), and there is no sense being too greedy and I know I would be happy with a .10-cent drop in a pick like this.
