There has to be somebody to buy at the top, might as well be some poor fella who just reads about it this week and just has to own some....Lightning might strike twice. I hate it too.....

would hate to be short...question is, are there any more poeple to buy? hope so :) Glad I'm not short either. And yes, you can bet that the stock will surge Monday as word spreads...I am only one example of someone who knew about the split last night, but work during the day, so only now have found out about Friday's trading. Amazing. Jaw-dropping. Nothing like it in memory, except YHOO. These are two amazing stocks. A combination of events, changes in computing/migration to the web, times we live in, number of people day-trading, and cheap commissions, etc, have all come together to make these stocks and their trading action possible. I know someone who bought $30K of Yahoo at their IPO..If you look at the chart, YHOO was a so-so investment during it's first 9-12 months or so..this person sold all $30K of YHOO at somewhere near break-even, after suffering with a moderate loss...In fact, he completely disengaged from investing. I talked to him about stocks again recently, and informed him of YHOO's run this year and last....his amazement and reaction was close to disbelief. Incredible. So close, and yet so far away...
