Well It is just risky "period"

David Faber at CNBC just said that this is a short squeeze. He also mentioned that this stock has chance to end up like PRST which is down more than 5 today, and believe it or not PRST is actually making money.

I've always said I wouldn't bet too much on a stock like AMZN either way. I'd be waaaay more nervous being long in AMZN or YHOO than short. Eventually these companies will have to make money to support the price. AMZN is a very long way from the $4+/share needed to support even a modest P/E of almost 25. If sales growth stalls for even a couple of quarters within the next few years, look out below!
