HELLO THREAD. I PROPOSE THAT WE ALL BOYCOTT AMAZON'S SITE AND BUY FROM CDNOW/N2K AND BARNES AND NOBLE.COM (IF YOU EVEN BUY FROM THE NET) UNTIL AMAZON'S STOCK PRICE FALLS BACK TO AN EXPENSIVE STOCK ($30/SHARE) AS OPPOSED TO AN INSANELY, RIDICULOUSLY OVERVALUED FRAUD. SPREAD THE BOYCOTT TO ALL MESSAGE BOARDS!!! WE SHALL OVERCOME!!! I'M NOT KIDDING BYE THE WAY. INTERNET POSTERS ARE PROBABLY THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BUY FROM THE NET TOO SO THIS COULD AFFECT AMAZON'S SALES. OH WAIT!!! THE MORE THEY LOSE, THE HIGHER THE STOCK PRICE GOES. ON SECOND THOUGHT...

I got in short today 500 shrs at $122 & change....never played AMZN before....didn't like watching it go up 4 pts after shorting it. John, if this is you first Amzn short at $122, as long as you have "more than adequate risk tolerance", I think that you will be just fine. But we are all pretty much aware that Amzn can move(briefly touch) up/down $30 points from here in a few days/weeks, so strategy and targets are necessary. Good wishes and $$$, we can keep each other informed.
