GST, I bet lots of people short amzn last week. I wouldn't and probably never will, not against key players like amzn, yhoo, ebay, and a few new companies like nsol, cmgi,bcst, ... etc. think about it, these companies already make their names as a house hold names. Remember amgenm, biogen and a few others, they are the survivor of the biotech run up during the 80's. And back then, only big guys like institutional investors have access to the lucrative stock markets. Nowaday, anyone with a modem can be an expert at trading. This is the main reason I won't short well known companies names. All the newbies wants to get in and make quick money. they are the ones driving up the market. I am not complain though. I am just saying that shorting these well known companies will get burn. skym was an excellent short candidate b/c it shoot up so high in a few days and nobody ever memtion about them no more. Remember, net stocks movement are based on press release. Well known companies like yhoo, amzn, ebay almost always have something to tout the investors about their potential revenue increase. I like semi sector. :-) Steve
