Just a little reality test for the shorts. This is the actual first post from the Amazon board almost two years ago to the day: "Started By: Clam Clam Date: May 13 1997 9:11PM ET IPO coming out tomorrow. $14-16 range. Another internet flash in the pan?? With Barnesandnoble.com, AOL and CUC Int'l standing ready to eat Amazon's lunch, what are peoples' thoughts on when to short this one? Can you say roman candle..." AMZN has split 3 for 1 and is currently at about $470 presplit. Think of those poor shorts who were sure they were right all the way up. Perhaps in two years we'll look back on PCLN the same way.
