I believe this is the model that one has to be aware of when dealing with amzn. In World War II, American navy crews could not at first imagine that Japanese pilots would actually purposely crash into the US ships and kill themselves for the sake of sinking ships.

Similarly, amzn shorts, including myself, did not imagine that amzn buyers would commit financial suicide by buying amzn at 200, just so both they and the shorts would self destruct.

The model can be extended. Just as US navy learned to anticipate the suicidal approach of the kamikaze, amzn bears learned to anticipate the hysteria of the amzn bulls. So now they cover very quickly. Some buy in advance to sell to the bulls. That is what happened the last 4 times amzn crossed 140. The shorts that did not learn this lesson, they are sunk below the waters of the Amazon.
