Tom's just doing his "job," Danny.

He'll soon get tired of fighting the tape and move on.

But if I wanted to short, I'd be looking for "broken" stocks, not "overvalued" ones...

BAM

Don't you find this "Tom Hua" guy very fmailar?

Just go to EBAY, AMZN, YHOO, ATHM, DCLK threads, go back
6 months, 12 months, or even 24 months. Yes, this
kind of "overvalued bubble" theory has been there for
more than 2 years.


What most shorts don't realize is that just because a stock is (possibly even extremely) overvalued doesn't mean that it won't stay that way, just as many value investors don't realize that an undervalued stock may never rise. But what most longs of these overvalued stocks don't get is that when the right trigger comes along, BANG!, right between the eyes.

Within these two years, we have seen much worse situations
such as 1997 Oct correction, 1998 summer crash, but in
the end, we all wish we should have stayed long in the
internet sector from the beginning.


Do the KTEL people wish that they were still long?

I remember the shorts who looked with such scorn on us poor longs on AMZN at 100 before the splits. They chatted aµong themselves about how we were such fools and told with pride how they had scalped 3 or 4 or 6 points shorting it. Now it's at about 900 pre-split (I've lost count). They're welcome to the couple of points they made before they lost it all back. I'll take the 800 points thanks.
