Michael, At one time I was short 1000 shares each AMZN and YHOO, both at about post split $30. I was obviously wrong about that 'top' and without some discipline (and fear) I shudder how much I would have lost. I remember seeing 'short' recommendations various places even when YHOO was at $15! I was short AOL , YHOO, and AMZN at prices so far lower than now. I would have lost everything I own if I did not cover. One must always have an exit strategy on short investments!!!!!!
