CNBC TRIES TO SLAM THE ANAL-IST------how ironic to hear CNBC now after the NASD crashes from 5200-2200 do they support the retail investor!1 LOLOLOL CNBC was the device used to get those REDICULOUS CALLS to the public!! Perhaps they should have been looking out for the little guy before they gave so much air time to the INTERNET MANIA!! CNBC and other MEDIA are as responsible as those who gave the calls!! Its incredible how these media outlets have no clue the effect they have on the individual amatuer investor........its sad!! The new buzz words on CNBC and DOOMBERG-----RECESSION, SLOWDOWN!!

But where a long bagholder might finally give up and sell out at a 50% loss. . . .a short-seller equally married to their play could lose 100%, 200%, 300% or more of their money. This is the only caution I will put out on this. So true. I watched more than one reasonably seasoned and astute investor, who couldn't justify the AMZN business plan, get caught up in a short to financial ruin. Ultimately they may well be right but their portfolios didn't survive to see it.
