All I can say is "Buy LCOS dump AMZN". Being short AMZN will work and being long LCOS should work too<G> Glenn

*****OT******* Lycos received a couple of analysts upgrades this morning. I expect a couple more in the next few days. The sector continues to look pretty weak and Lycos has probably seen most of the potential run-up. I don't think that the downside for Lycos is nearly as great as for Amazon.com - a good hedge for shorting AMZN is to be long in LCOS. However, the fact that Amazon remains a darling of analysts and small speculators and is spending tens of millions on promotion and advertising will keep the hype factor at a higher pace than Lycos. That should help to prop up the stock from collapsing dramatically for up to several months.
