i am not long AMZN, i am long other instruments in a net long strategy and using AMZN as a candidate short in the hedge strategy...
i dont know if you are right in your assertion about what people "usually" do though! ;)
my timeframe is long... i dont take many short-term trades in my current strategy and hedge strategy.
and i am holding no shorts.
im just telling you my thoughts ;)
and i am using no margin right now...
how crazy can i possibly be?!
;)
since AMZN is such a large part of the Nasdaq 100 - it should be interesting to see how this stock affects overall market sentiment in the coming weeks.
