The reason I don't short Internuts like AMZN is that I could go out for the afternoon and come back to find myself behind 10 - 15 points for no particular reason. My puts can only lose $3.75.

Setting stops in an Internut short limits the damage but then makes you prone to whipsaws in volatile stocks.

My pockets aren't deep enough to short a stock at this level and just hang on.

Good luck.
