Glenn I lost a huge amount on shorting YHOO. Get out at the next pullback and exchange your peace of mind for a potential profit

>>I really have little to say nor do I wish to debate the future of AMZN.<< Debating with those ignorance who did not believe they were lucky but think they were smart, what for? All the fundamental analysis have been discussed, nothing more left. Even mgmt said on the 10Q report, there were many material adverse and they warned the shareholders. That is really arbitrary perpetual supply and demand (is there such thing?) What a great way for the insiders to come out now; I don't know what they are waiting for? As you said it has ruined the fun of trading. All we are doing is not to lose further and try to get our money back; can't think of winning. I saved about $4000k, by boxing my 800 shares at $87 and lost about $15k. Luckily my longs is almost offsetting my AMZN loss. None of us have any intention to be in this situation, but we learn & live, can't get out now. I just added more money so it will last for another 50% runnup. I don't know if it is wise, but I have rationalized it. Boy it is violent! Hurricane AMZN! Good luck to all of us, BEARS! Felicia

Another option to consider if you think AMZN will go down, is to buy puts, instead of shorting. That way, at least your downside is limited. You can buy short-term (July, August) puts if you think it will go down soon, or longer term/LEAPS puts if you think it will go down eventually. Dell-icious
