Drew...re: shorting the nets....

You better wait until there's a major breakdown in these things before you even try it.

I tried it in Yahoo a couple of times (back a couple hundred points ago) and lost. It was a pretty clear message that you don't fight the tape with these guys; you go with the flow.

There's a lot of faith in the high end nets; that even a small position will generate tremendous wealth over the next few years.

Don't you dare to think about it! You have sinned.

Tempting thought, but basically nuts! The lunatics are in charge of that asylum. If and when Amazon ever shows a profit, that may be the time to short.

I would not recommend shorting AMZN. I have shorted yahoo 500 at $148 to cover at $165, shorted 400 at $292.5 to cover at $310, shorted 300 at $379 to cover $405. It just keeps going up defying all logic. Do not use logic to invest in internet stocks, there is none.

Good luck
