Don't tell me that you shorted AMZN again? C'mon, tell me that you are still holding those shares you bot at $129 couple weeks ago? MB, I have no position in AMZN. I did not hold my long position long enough but I would never go short. Been there and done that:-( BTW, did you see those couple newbies who just shorted AMZN this morning at $150, and blabbing about making $8K since Jan.? Give'em a "Shorting AMZN 101", showing them that you are the champion in this arena. Also tell'em that I've been making profit on my 1500 shares of AMZN since I bot them last Nov when its price was at $143 pre-split. What's $8K? that's equivalent to about 1/30th of my $240K. I did not pay attention but do know not to be short.

Yo. Moon Baby! English a second language? I said: "...long and the short of it: $8873 gain. Followed by many many more on the short side of AMZN." Message 8591916 1. Actually I'm up about $30k just from AMZN shorts this year. 2. Like I said when I first jumped into this stream... I trade index options... but, this looked like too much fun. 3. On Oct 15 1998, 45 minutes before the markets closed I was holding 50 NDX CALL options (NDYJP.O to be exact). Know what happened next, Mr240k? he,he.he... 4. The 200 shares that I'm short are an opening position. Either to be covered (I doubt it) or extended. Message 8592577
