>>You must be just trying to scare the longs<< The longs haven't been scared here since last May. Now the shorts? That's a different matter.

>>Seattle-based Amazon.com will lease a seven-acre distribution warehouse in Nevada to help speed up book, music and video deliveries that now may take as long as a week. The warehouse, located 30 miles east of Reno in Fernley, Nev., will mean faster delivery of products by about one day to Western U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and Phoenix, a company spokesman said. Amazon.com is leasing the facility from San Francisco-based Panattoni Development for an undisclosed sum and will start operations there in the first half of the year. Some Amazon.com employees will be transferred to the Nevada site, which is expected to employ about 300 people by the end of the year, spokesman Bill Curry said. The number of employees depends on whether and how many workers want to transfer there, he said. The site is Amazon.com's third distribution center and more than doubles the current square footage at its Seattle and Delaware sites combined, Curry said. That will give the company more room to store books, music and videos, helping decrease waiting times for shipments to be sent, he said. Helen Jung's phone message number is 206-464-2742.

Jan, that can't be possible. Inut longs losing $25-$40 in one day? Everyone knows these stocks only go up. I am trusting my "touch" and "feel" this time. :))) I partially opened and closed my box on Friday and had some nice $$$; I opened(sold) 250 shares at an average of $188; bought back(covered) 175 shares. I think that I will be able to cover the still-opened 75 shares tomorrow at $150 or maybe lower! I think that most of the "lucky few" who shorted at $190 and plus on Friday were covering when the stock dropped to $170 the first time. Looking at the options table, I see call buyers taking profits and I see "covered call writing" on Friday. I think that the "short-squeeze" on "naked calls" was over, and I think that all those who bought in the $185/$190 ranges are ?????
