>>KP: I wanted to short AMZN today. Couldn't get any #$@$##@$# shares. What is driving that sucker? >> You mean you have more money to lose? If you don't understand what is driving this sucker, why would you bet against it? For brief, yet, thourgh explination, go to TMF and read the first paragraph of the evening news. Then, you'll know what's driving this puppy. Zead

OT: << What is driving that sucker?? (AMZN) >> It's called: SHORT SQUEEZE! same as what happened to IOMG back in the 'old days'. The funny thing is, you guys probably would have shorted IOMG back then also... Also, it's people looking for growth. If the hardware companies are stagnating, then what? Actually, I described exactly what's going on over on the AMZN thread. It's a reverse of the effect going on here. I'll put it simply: The online investors (SI, YAHOO, MF, etc..) hate the stock. Therefore, it must be a good buy! 19 of 20 posts are negative. These neophobes short the stock, then lose their behinds as it goes up more. repeat. So everyone please short AMZN! The stock is terrible! They are losing money! It's a great short! dump IOM and short AMZN! It's WAY, WAY overvalued! kp
