Peter,

That makes a lot of sense, then. He wouldn't be shorting a stock just because it's overvalued - those are valid reasons for thinking the price will go down. In that case, it wouldn't surprise me if he did end up shorting AMZN.

Thanks for the explanation,

Ken

Okay, I remember that now, that was a month ago, when the market was still in freefall, and it wasn't a short position (which he couldn't have taken at the time anyway), it was a small (by his standards) purchase of AMZN puts. He has doubtless long since sold those off. Ancient history from the trader's point of view.
