>100% of the then Amzn float(10M shares) were shorted. The fundamental supply/demand issue.
Wrong! Those 10m shares weren't shorted...they where controlled by the elephants. Right! it was a supply/demand issue.
Case in point.
I've made excellent profits on small share allocation IPO's.
Almost every large allocation IPO I have left @ best is breaking even.
