Tom, if gambling means a 400% return in last 6 months, and 700% return in last 12 months, I will take this gamble again and anytime in my life.
You can short whatever you want here and I am just going to hold my internet basket (EBAY, YHOO, ATHM, PCLN, AOL, GCTY, CMGI, MMXI, TSCM) for another 2-3 years and see if this is a gamble or investment. I don't feel gambling at all, as all these stocks except YHOO AOL CMGI were bought at the IPO price.
BTW, when was the last time that shorting a stock becomes an investment? It looks more like a gambling to me. Don't you know that your loss is unlimited? Don't you know that people went broke because they shorted AMZN? On the other hand, I haven't seen anyone who hasn't at least doubled his money by going long on internet stocks in the last 12 months. |
