Mark, I see it quite differently. This is a dangerous time for long-term short and long. 4 months ago, when Amzn was at it's all time high of $147, if I bought 200 shares then, my profit would be $5K today, and the risk were there during the last 4 months. By short/long/trading, the risk was minimized and the profit is far greater than $5K. << Jan there's always risks. But the risks have changed in favor for the longs when Amzn hit 140 in my view. And not only that i would not go against the Fed. I'm through with the in and outs on this stock for awhile it really doesn't beat the long term holder because of taxes, trading mistakes and commissions. Trust me on that been there and done it.
