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. Sarmad, There is a lot of that going on here. It is not specific to the AMZN thread. I figure I am the only one that has lost money and does not have the smarts to gain it all back in five months. I am still working on it. Glenn

> Then a month later they'll say Oh yeah, I sold at 210. You have just described William's recent fictional net-trades. As everone here knows, Williams never posts when he "sells" one of his internuts, only when he buys them. This, of course, is a learned behavior from watching analysts. Analysts NEVER NEVER NEVER say to sell a particular internut, only "buy". This is the definition of a sell-side anaylst, of which William is a good approximation. So if anyone thinks they are going to get any honest information out of William, think again.

Sarmad, fwiw sometimes its hard to say you sold on some of the other threads. People don't want to hear it. For example I never posted when I sold doubleclick very recently. I'm not negative on the company I just wanted to free up cash. It wasn't a great trade or anything (in fact 35% down from its high), nonetheless I was still way up on it so whats the point? BTW how can you tell a stock has a low float. I noticed priceline was up on friday... you said not to short that one because it has a low float. I guess the insiders can't sell yet. Where do you get your info, this is important for any internet short I suppose. Thanks
