Hi D, Try small first, such as 50 shares, then you will not feel so much "pressure". I know how it feel, I have Amzn wounds. That's why I was trading Yhoo much better than Amzn.

Hi Jan. I shorted YHOO at the open. 135. It immediately moved against me. In trying to
develop some discipline, I covered. It immediately moved down! I dont know why or
what i was worried about given the trend. I guess the wounds are still fresh............


D,

I can relate very well to the quick trigger finger and sometime lack of dicipline. It is called fear after being burned at the stake.

Hi Jan. I shorted YHOO at the open. 135. ....Edit: I am obsessed with this stock.

Be careful. Obsession cost you money.
Hey, I shorted AMZN @ 107 on Thursday and had to cover @ 108 the next day 'cos internut was rallying again!
Oh well.
I will wait for a rally towards 100 and short it big this time.
(with a buy stop, off course! Dont want to die yet! :-(( )
