Well the joke was on me today. Covered my short near the high. I will be back for another shot at it.. Liked the analogy the guest on CNBC just made concerning the ridiculous valuation. Basically said something to the effect that it has the same Market cap as CBS when recently purchased little while back.

I will short again, just concerned about the inevitable margin calls that will be going off all over the place next week on the shorts. These calls will have several days to be met before they start buying everyone back in. Good time to short would be next Thursday or Friday. See you then. In the mean time, I gotta count the few bucks I have left.. Thank God the rest of my portfolio did ok...

RE: "I can't wait to se this crap with wings drop like a rock....."

The art of Trading is not in predicting "drops", they all do that. It's in the "when". This puppy could go on like this for months or crash next week.

Place your bet.

Please do understand and do not underestimate "stupidity of humanity". The end is near. Maybe next week or maybe next month the stupid masses will be slaughtered as usual.
I reviewed this company last year and could not convince myself to get in. Why? because I never check those stupid banners, and I feel that this type of advertising is very ineffective. Just ask these yahoo die hards what have they bought as a result of seeing these stupid pictures flashing in front of their faces. Yahoo is a tool, it was intended to be used as a tool to help us find information, not waste useless time yapping away about nothing.
Just imagine CEO gives a statement of caution, and what do the ignorant herds do?. Obviously the ignorant many know something that intelligent few don't. That is why the stock is trading at these levels.
Only in America have I seen so much "IGNORANCE".
Speaking of wasting time. Time to spend some valuable time with the family. Happy Easter!!!
