Jan, >> Well, I am sure it's just 100 shares at 176. You know whenever I try to scale up something stupid happens. Today I sold short at 187+, then covered at 179 and placed order to buy 100 at 176, which filled. Later I bought at 160 also. The idea was after I shorted and covered. Instead of waiting for amzn to go up and then short it, I thought I would be real clever and buy it at 176 and when it went up I would sell and make a double dip. I have been doing that, and it was working. But they had to go and have their crash today.
