First the longs made money (me included)
Then the shorts got rich and may get richer
I got 5 points or so short, but the real money was in finding the peak at $45 and staying short or trading short. I neither found the peak nor did I stay with the trade long enough for the real tanking.

But I have learned a real lesson (and fortunately, not by losing money) and will remember this for the next time.

All,

This scenario could well be repeated on NAVR/Netradio IPO. Buy it now and hold long. Sell it a day or two before the IPO comes out and with enough conviction, short NAVR the day of the IPO.
