>6000K< as in 6 mil? Very risky. I agree that this stock at $700+ mil. market cap is unbelievable. But the funny thing is, it is ridiculously overpriced at 200mil or at 100mil or at 50mil market cap. If the stock is priced at this level, than something else is driving this stock. I have no idea what, must be some kind of insanity. That being said I have to confess, I also felt the urge to short one of these Internet plays. I picked NTKI which is probably 5 times more absurdly priced than VRSN. I am heavily shorting it and I will keep on shorting if/when it goes up. To me they should go bankrupt tomorrow. There is only 2 endings to this story; 1)The stocks will crack, we will make a lot of money and live happily ever after. 2) We will not be able meet a margin call after the stock turnes into a 10 bagger and die penniless under a bridge. Good Luck!
