Ike, I'm no shorter. In my entire portfolio right now I have only 2 shorts eBay and Amazn.
Re Amzn. I used to have a max pain of a 5 point loss per trade. I saved my ass many times using that discipline.
Today I don't care. Amzn would have to jump up 40 points, and eBay 25, before I'm no longer playing with the house's $money.
As far as Yhoo,eBay and Amzn. I choose not to mess with Yhoo because I actually do like its long term prospects, if not its lofty stock price. As far as ebay that's just another fad, and Amzn will just be another Southland Corp's 7/11 convenience chain.
