Well done, Bull. You have my congratulations!

<<A recent Forbes article pointed out the misery caused by trying to short ubid, ebay, amzn, etc.>>

Even when long this stock I was always highly skeptical- this has always been nothing but a gussied up retailer with a great name made sexy by the web, with crappy margins and incredible competition- they have some good aspects, but I've got a lot of criticisms- I've become bearish mid-term till Fall starts, then I'll be long again, I expect. Long term I'm ambivalent, short term it's a crap shoot. Fortunes have been lost shorting the companies you mentioned, but I don't think this company is anywhere near as fine as two of those three (the third I don't know enough about, ie. ubid). Anyway, today will be exciting, if nothing else.

We've been over this ground lots of times before, so the fundies don't get discussed much. Right now it's simply a trading stock.
