When do you plan to average up short of amzn? when it hit >120 or depending on situation. I shorted only 100 near 100 but still ...
What can bring it down? besides insider selling and more companies will sell books too. (I think it is tough for EE, ME to find jobs now in Calif. w/ so many laid-offs -> that 's good for internet since they save gas and stay home read books from Amzn)
Your thoughts welcome.
Datek down since last night and no time to check it yet. what happens to internet retailer if their systems down or get virus.
