I like the "blue blooded contrarian" comment, Mike - shorting Amazon today is an act of principle, comparable to taking to the bayonet when you've ran out of bullets against the heathen infidel.

Assuming I am someday going to become a crotchety old value investor telling stories about the 1998 top ( :) ), how could I tell that story without a part about either making a few bucks or losing a few bucks shorting these stocks. Its like when my generation asks our parents "what did you do in the 60s" - you don't want to hear that they watched it all on the news! This is why God created play money.
