Lets see.... Short at 23 to 15 = 8 per share ($8000 for 1000 shrs) Short at 29 to 16 = 13 per share.. ($13000 for 1000 shrs) Go long from 26 to 32 = 6 then short from 30 to 17 = 13 for total of 19....($19000 for 1000 shrs) Guess you have no kahunnas.... Guess you don't care how MUCH money you make... Heck if you had combined shorts and long positions on DBCC check this out...for me 7 to 39....equals 32.....Short from 45 to 18....equals 27.....NOW that would be a play....... Plus guess you don't set targets...and just wily nily and quite arbitrarily invest...though not knowing exactly what you invest in or why... And I'm sure you'll proclaim what a genius you are after the events transpire... So again buy to HIGH of______short at price of ______ cover at______ This really is very simple... And please no more post game prognosticating... z btw- please also don't post me again

So will EGGS,AMZN,CDNW,EBAY etc etc. Actually you might make the case that SATH has as good a chance as any of the above and at least start from the point of making money not suffering huge losses. Perhaps what's at play with internet stocks is perception. Its trying to correctly guess what the current perception is and for how long will that last. If SATH is perceived as an internet stock and is hot then watch out. Many at SI thought AMTD was a dog and a good short a week ago. I know they talked me out of a 40 point runup. I dont blame them I fault myself for missing that jump. One thing is for sure and that is that SATH is in-play this week. Both longs and shorts will make money and both longs and shorts will lose. Just get the swings right. When I bought SATH at 8 it was a sure up. Now who knows. Good luck all
