> I'm in cash and trying to find a buyable bottom. Me too. Luckily I've been skeptical and scared, and now "sell in may" is coming round. But I'm itching to buy. I'm thinking FEYE, PRLB, CREE and ILMN currently. All have taken hits. MTRN might be something in which I take a little bite. If Apple goes LiquidMetal MTRN will skyrocket. Shorting is difficult. If options didn't expire it'd be a no brainer but they do expire. Ironically the only time I've ever really considered shorting a stock was Amazon. I don't get why its so WUVed by investors. I see it as a house of cards. Retail profits have traditionally been thin, the internet makes it worse, and Walmart is waking up and establishing an online presence albeit slowly. Walmart, Costco and Homedepot potentially have the advantage of buy online and pick up at stores. Anything big or hard to ship. I've done it many times. Amazon cannot compete on big stuff. I still buy all sorts of piddly stuff on Amazon though. Amazon cloud? Server space is cheap and getting cheaper. I did have a bad experience with Amazon which left a long lasting bad taste in my mouth though so I may be prejudiced.
