I have to side with John Chen on ATHM. I've only daytraded ATHM and currently own zero, but it will be more than a year before it is evaluated on the merits of its earnings. In the meantime, the squeezes will be very painful.

Bob- I like what ATHM does but I too believe the price is out of wack in consideration of its p/e which has no earning. However, as I stressed many times, ATHM has a bright future. I don't invest in stocks don't have any earning and I certainly don't short stocks have a bright future- too risky- short squeeze is very painful as I am sure Roger is finding out- he shorted YHOO, AMZN, ATHM- if he still has them, he's close to CH 7. I invest in stocks with low p/e, good earning and strong cash balance. And I must be familiar with the business. Being familiar in certain sectors of tech business, I try to use that to my advantage. I invest in SEG- the leader of the disk drive business; I invest in MSFT- the biggest monopoly in the world.
