Yes I want to short jcom..askj...and yhoo is bloated..I would only do it if we hv a mkt correction that bleeds -------------- Well, you have more guts then me. I may write some CC's or play some puts, but I do not have the guts to short those stocks. Yes, maybe bloated, but then again, I thought things were bloated awhile ago, and they kept going up. The differance now, possibly in your favor, is we are nearing 10k and 2k, and one of 2 things is going to happen. We bust thru or we drop back down, and either is a distinct possibility. But, I still think the time to short was 2 or 3 years ago. Still good chance we correct, but how much, and is it worth the risk, when there are safer ways to play a possible fall.....I know folks that have been shorting yahoo, amzn, ebay and sevarl others for the last 6 months. They kept swearing that NOW it is RIPE to short. All I can say is I am glad I wasn't short yahoo, ebay and amzn the last 6 months, and even if they are bloated now, I dont want to risk being short anything with such great looking upward mo mo. Better to wait until a direction is defined ...
