two weeks later...."Shares of Amazon.com rocketed Wednesday after CIBC Oppenheimer analyst Henry Blodget lifted his long-term price target on the stock to $1,000 from $400, spurring a rally in the already-euphoric Internet-retail sector. Mr. Blodget, who continues to rate the stock a "buy," said in a "research note" that Amazon's shares recently passed his price target of $400. --------- Yes Ginger, the moon really is made of cheese.

short strategy - SI - 12-16-98 Start with a few shares at the beginning and double the shares for every 20%(approximate) move up in the stock. Buy back all when the stock move down 20%. Example 10 shares short at 100$ 20 shares short at 120$ 40 shares short at 144$ 80 shares short at 172$ when the stock drop back to 144$, buy back all 150 shares Note: ALL IMO, and at your own risk using it. Mathematically and theoritically it works as almost all stocks will come down 20% at one time or another. Especially more so for volatile stocks like AMZN.
