My Friend Roger: I am one very happy short. I was short AMZN(made $100), YHOO(lost $5k),AOL(lost $15k) , ONCE!!!! Now As you should know that my short portfolio is 100 % the ZIT. The ZIT will be less than $1.00 before Dec.1999. AMZN and DELL could just keep going higher. I am long DELL and feel sorry for anyone that shorts DELL. I am mean, what are you looking for DELL to drop to ??? I and you know that ZITL will be less than $1.00 !!! Your Friend, michael

Roger, do you think any large risk in shorting amzn at 92+? I don't think so and will short 100 shares as quickly as I have money in my account. Hope that amzn still goes up while my check arrives. If I were one of amzn employees w/ more than 10K shares I am more interested in selling my stocks asap at this level and retire than packaging books/CDs and mail it (basically a mail-order-company which grows to 5B in less than 2 yrs!). In your experience have you ever seen any other phenomenon like amzn (aol, yahoo) yet still thrives and does not fall (KTEL, ZITL, PRST I guess are in small cap). The dilemma of shorting amzn is that the price can go higher to 200, 300 as some wants/fears, but if you don't take risks when it crashes it is too late. So hope that I can short 100 at 92+ then if I am badly wrong will short 100 more at 122+, then might sell all I have now and short at 152+. In short, I think if one can hunker down the most 1 yr, the return in shorting amzn is great. (Just a common sense opinion - I may be wrong badly again)

Roger- I have told you several times that your view on ATHM is wrong. You don't understand how important the ATHM technlogy is and I have told you many times that ATHM business is brisk, especially couple months ago they added SAN JOSE area as a sevrice area. My information on ATHM is always accurate, granted I live in the Silicon Valley. I hope you cover your short position in ATHM cause I am telling you now several new developments are happening at ATHM and you will see $100 on ATHM soon! I don't own ATHM stock but do want to warn you!
