From TheStreet.com.."Some of the December run-up in e-commerce stocks was due to the high anticipated (and real) Christmas sales over the Web. I'm not the first to observe that there is a high correlation between the customers of the major e-commerce sites and the buyers of their stock; "buy where you shop" was at work. Look for that to continue in the historically hot week between Christmas and New Year's. But I won't be surprised if we finally see some easing of the e-commerce stocks during January, minus those Christmas-shopping sessions. Ditto the prices of the online brokers, which enjoyed spectacular run-ups during Christmas week. Schwab (SCH:NYSE), E*Trade (EGRP:Nasdaq) and Ameritrade (AMTD:Nasdaq) ran their own private Santa Claus rallies, all up sharply. A slower January may take them down a little, too. "

We are either at the top or close to it, IMO. I won't say that the stock is due for much of a slide just yet but this stock has pushed the pendulum so far to the extreme and has riden on Christmas season enthusiasm so much that a big surprise to the downside is quite possible. I think that when the fund managers get back from the break early net year that profits will be taken of the table.
