I would not short Amazon. Too tricky. Short interest is too high, and and I think it has withstood the B&B/Bertlesmann news quite well. I agree, shorting Amzn is a tricky business. Actually, I am trying to do "what the elephants" have been doing, box-trading in a very small way. With limit position but back up by very flexible resources. However, "short interest is too high" is getting to be more of a "short-term" problem; unless they don't sell! but we all know they(Junglee/plant and VC's, and the other insiders) will sell during the next window period.

Short interest is too high, and and I think it has withstood the B&N/Bertlesmann news quite well. Will be interesting to see how they hold up after earnings...high short interest will have little impact if earnings disappoint.
