Those shorts are all the usual suspects! And it doesn't matter what stock they look at, their reasons always fall into one of two camps:

1. The stock is overvalued.

2. The technicals are negative.

And the thing that absolutely kills me is that they will not learn from their mistakes! Nobody knows how to properly value a growth stock, and TA is the astrology of the stock market. IMHO only short a stock when you believe you see a dangerous trend developing the fundamentals, and even then think three times about it. I was mightily tempted by CPQ, and SEG but didn't do it because as sure as I was about the emerging problems I felt I was playing with fire.

Regards,

Paul

After hours trades almost always prove to be wrong the next day. Yahoo is way overvalued imo and I'm sick of people (mainly on the yahoo thread) comparing it to dell. Dell has real revenues and has been able to grow at an incredible pace quarter in and quarter out. I look at yahoo more like a netscape than a dell.

Mr. Levy summed it up yesterday...

"I would never like to bet against the demand for new technology."
