James,

>> I'm hoping more like 100, that would be a $90k profit. Do you think I'm being greedy??

Greedy or not, that's up to you. But I am sure you'll let us know when you cover. (probably in a euphoric stream of 100 posts in 2 hours). What totally annoys me is the pump and dump practice by some of posting "bought x000 amzn at xxx" plus some raving accolades about the company's prospects. Then a month later they'll say Oh yeah, I sold at 210. and now have $250k in cash and enjoying the correction in the net stocks.

What price did you short at? I assume you entered the short after the earnings were out to be safe against any possible earnings surprises. Good trade IMO if you did it based on technicals.
