I have been very surprised that the Amzonianuts haven't seized on the 60 Minutes and other hype to propel their enthusiasm. Where are the 30 million volume days of the recent Jungle Tulip mania? Could it be that this stock just isn't that exciting anymore? - at least not exciting enough to cause a stampede to the stockbrokers IMO. This stock will probably wilt down rather than crash. My guess is still that it has 40%-55% further down to go before it gets close to a bottom.

The NAS is due for at least a pull-back. From a historical perspective, many many stocks are trading at the very top of their valuations. Many leaders could come down 40-50% and still be at the mid to upper range of their valuations - not just the Internut stocks. Several major brokerages have reportedly been telling their clients to get out while they are still publicly bullish - a sure sign a move down is nearly certain. I see it this way - the NAS has about a 10% upside and about a 40% downside with about 90% certainty - it is much riskier to be long than short on the market - but always play it stock by stock.
