STOCK INVESTOR: Again your "trading" sounds very nice on the message board, but I wager you a meager $100 that you did not get a fill at $285. You will, of course, have to provide proof. Care to accept? You seem to be very short sighted, as many investors, in that you are hoping for a big crash to make all kinds of "huge profits" on your short. However, you miss the big picture. Even taking into account the risk/reward, you could probably make more money long on YHOO than you would short even if you caught the crash.

<<<That is another reason I covered at 285 rather than holding the position. I will short again when it reaches 450! So please help me out and get YHOO rolling! Then why the heck dont you go long until it hits your target of 450, and then short from there? Amazing logic... truly amazing... Oh wait, its against your "morals" to go long a stock that you find overvalued right? Believe it or not, this is not religion or something that important.. its a bunch of stock certificates.. pieces of paper, that entitle you to small ownership of a company. If you truly think it should catch up to AMZN why wouldn't you go long for at least 3 - 4 days, and then short from that point.. gives you more capital to short with in a few days if YHOO appreciates.
