>>Wasn't AMZN difficult to borrow at one time? <<
One year ago the ONLY short shares you could get was at small e-brokerage called Datek. The SEC investigated and then fined them.
There's a term for what they did but I can't remember it.
Ps
Yes things have changed. I posted this many times before "As the float increases enough on any speculation stock the stock price will come down". I think the Amzn investors that paid a couple of hundred $bucks a share never quite got that.
