Yeah right. The blood bath already happened for the pros. It took place last year when they thought they new where the bottom was and lost their ass shorting. I think CNBC's word for it every day last year was "carnage". After they got burned, they moved back to the sidelines and started complaining about PE.

<< Many owners of this stock are so out of touch with reality >>

This line should read "out of touch with reality to the upside". I bought shares on 12-22 at $242, sold them today at $403, that 161 points in less than a month. But the pros are correct I got killed this morning, I planned on selling for a 180-200 point profit.

I agree with you, this will end, but don't make it sound like the pros had this figured out. They got killed shorting these stocks all last year, and missed out on some easy money in the process. (Not all pros, the smart ones got in)

The only way I will get all the way out (I still have shares from before 12-22) of the nets, is to be stopped out with HUGE profits (even if they tank). I sure as heck would not rely on the so called pros tell me where the bottom is.

The pros may end up screaming the loudest. When these things do go down, it may be like October, they might take everything else with them. I hope not.

It will end, make sure you got the date correct.

Good Luck
