OK, I want to make an experiment. Sometime tomorrow or early next week I shall short 400 shares of AMTD. Realizing that internet brokerage might be a lucrative business, at least in perception of people, and as such their stock price may still rise temporarily, I shall at the same time hedge my short position by buying 400 shares of E-Trade (EGRP), a similar company, because I believe that EGRP is a more superior company in comparison with AMTD. I think today price of AMTD is about $29, and of EGRP about $27. WV
