Rog might want to spend a few bucks on a shampoo...although maybe since he owns AMZN, money for shampoo is a little tough to come by. I've got a feeling Rog is doing okay for himself. Owning CSCO and AMAT has to help just a little. I wouldn't touch AMZN either way right now, but if I were forced to put money on it, I'd go long. Someone once told me never to short open ended situations. After proving him right a couple of times, I've adopted that advice. To go short, I'd have to be convinced that bankruptcy is inevitable for this company, and I don't see that. With all the negativity on the stock you could book a nice gain, but the risk of a sudden upside surprise is just too great, IMO.
