I think this could be what they call a blowoff top. The speculation on companies is outrageous (ie the internuts). The time to short will be soon and is here for some companies. Presently, I am completely long, but that is changing soon. But then again, that is just my opinion. Check out cmgi and yhoo. Those kind of moves are what kills the shorts and makes the greedy more greedy. And you can't tell me there are no buyers that are greedy today. Just wait, the tulip festival will end soon. good luck.
