Opps, the diehard AMZN short turns long now. Would this mean that AMZN should go down now? Warned before, just stay away from it.

Glenn, I like the action at the end of day key indexes came up good accept Bks which i'm watching closely; and for character sake, James, I reenter on Inkt at the end of day, 1500 @122, bought down there this morning 1500 Inkt @ 106.24 and sold at 126... bought 1500 more Amzn at 190 today and still holding. Near term i think window dressing , etc, should move these stocks higher, however, if Bks moves opposite of major indexes and downward pressure comes from this then i expect to reduce risk for now enjoy. ;-)
