I went ahead and put a trailing stop loss $5K short position on Amazon a couple days ago. I'm of the opinion Amazon is an amazing scam. http://investmentresearchdynamics.com/amazondotcon/
I don't care to re-summarize the important stuff. I dunno maybe this link is better:

I'm quite sure that AMZN stinks and is a tasty short. If you're net long via index funds or whatever it's a very smart hedge that will probably score you a new car even if the wider market doesn't blow up.
We're a bunch of clever geeks here, not Youtube commenters. People don't fall for that as easily.
* Though I must add apology that this is a rather low information post with a low quality link. Mr. Kranzler details elsewhere in his feed the extent to which Amazon abuses GAAP.
This breaks the HN guidelines. Please (re-)read them and don't comment like that here.
You don't like me. Ban the account. Don't pretend this about fairness and rules. The "flag" shadow deletion trick is skeezy as hell. This whole thing is a system for weak passive agressive nerds.
