Michael, I have been looking at shorting/putting Amazon but my
broker can't find any shares to short and the put premiums look
sky high.

Any ideas on how to short Amazon? Are some brokers more likely to
succeed than others?

If I succeed shorting, is there an unreasonable risk that I will be
forced to return them before I'm ready because the owner wants them back?

Do any of the Amazon puts look attractive at the current price?

Ed
