Glenn, I like to make a mental model of amzn share price for myself. It helps me in trading it. Friday morning I decided to go long in amzn at 185, and sold out at 190+. My feeling was it is too risky to short, with a breakout looming, etc.... Now I am wondering whether the larger short term risk is on the long side. That is what I will watch on Monday morning. Whether there is a gap up, and the open volume. On Friday, I saw a lot of churning, as though the up-move got exhausted. As someone posted to me, shorting amzn is like picking up a dime in front of a moving bull-dozer. Basically, it is done for the sport.
