It is not a good idea to buy to cover because when the price starts to drop, it is easier to sell stocks we own than trying to borrow to sell short so don't need to find AMZN to borrow like what James' experience. I agree with this. I have not gone long against the box so am vulnerable. Did you get your AMZN shorts from DLJ? I got mind from Discover & Datek. Schwab does not have AMZN to short. I did get shares to short from DLJ , also from BHC and Merrill Lynch. That was likely six weeks ago. I would have to look. Glenn
