Finally got some damn shares to short. I have had an open short sell order on this stock since Friday morning. It finally got executed. Let's see how this plays out. I expect it to go down to at least $230 in the next 2 weeks.

These are in the money puts. The premiums were so insanely high and the downward momentum was so obvious, that I paid the extra $ for in the money. Usually, I would buy out of the money. There is absolutely no support until EBAY gets down to 230 and the chart is so bearish (what with three heads at 300). Also, * January effect is over * eBay lockout is over * Internet mania cannot continue forever * eBay may be great, and its users love it, but it does not seem like an $11 billion company just yet. Did you notice the fade at the end of the day? Every one of the e stocks that I follow was down today, and eBay was down the most %.
