Well, I've just wasted about 15 minutes catching up on this board from all the posts after the close yesterday. Very few actually contained any meaningful information. Mine probably won't either. :) I was in the IOMG rise and made quite a bit. I noticed that about the time everyone seemed to think it was just going to go up and up, it started to turn. About that time, shorts that had been around and argued with us longs for what seemed like three or four months finally started to close their positions out and admit defeat. I'm seeing the same happen with AMZN and I hope it is a positive sign, but I'm certainly not going to make any kind of predictions. I also noticed the longs started to get more and more obnoxious and insisted that Iomega was "bulletproof". I noticed that very same word on this thread this morning. I hope it's an omen, but I doubt AMZN will be turning for the next two or three trading days. Can all the shorts please do me a favor? When/if AMZN finally goes down, can we all not act as childish as others have while it has been going up? I'm not using any names because I don't feel like insulting anyone, but you'd think with the huge sums of money the longs are making on this stock, they would be happy to just sit back and enjoy it and rise above the name calling. It seems to be the same on every stock once the stock moves enough for one group or another to declare victory. I can only speak for myself, but I promise the rest of you when/if I start to make money on my AMZN short (200 shares in the very high 90's), you will not see a single "I told you so" or insult from me.
