>> (ENMD) - I had to take a $100k bath. <<

I'm sincerely impressed. Did you buy on open that Monday after the NYTimes article hit or did you load up intra-day on dips?

>> One $100k mistake is a good lesson - I learn real quick. <<

I'd call it a lesson that stays with you forever...

The 2 hour pause today at 70 with MB saying "no shorts" made me think something bad
was going to happen. Either a huge dive or a rocket. Something did happen - it smashed
the 70 barrier and now I don't see anything holding it back as it hits 90.


I see you changed your mind. I understand.

One $100k mistake is a good lesson - I learn real quick.

It appears I am a slow learner. Give me time;-)

jawd,

At 1:48pm you wrote:
>>I've got this weird feeling that its the calm before the storm - I can see AMZN falling 10 points before the close or opening 5 points down tomorrow.

Then at 5pm you wrote:
>>I'm sorry for all you shorts but it looks like Amazon is heading straight towards 90. Could reach 85'ish tomorrow.

I've guess you've covered all bases, up or down tomorrow and you're right, huh?

If you think the stock is headed to 85 soon and 100 within a month, then why don't you leverage yourself big-time with calls? Put your money where you mouth, the shorts certainly have.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh but I've seen too many threads with cocky people who think they are "right" because the stock moves the same way they "predict" (e.g. guess). Funny thing, when things turn around they suddenly disappear from the thread never to be heard from again. Enjoy your gloating while it lasts...

Jawd, you wrote< There's nothing wrong in admitting defeat and living to fight another day>
As hard as it was for me to cover @50. My Dad, when I was 10, told me ' He, who run's away, will live again, to fight another day'.
