after "gold" my next short is "ebay"

Quote from heilbronner:

great company, just a bit too pricey, at least for the moment. I would also expect a stock split, chart would suggest such a thing.

Yeah, I've long wished to invest in EBAY, but it's outrageously priced :(.
 
Actually I'm long the qqq and short ebay to make a spread. In IMHO ebay has held up a long time, maybe too long.

It reminds me of NVDA, which not too long ago was priced to hell and it seemed it would never come back.

Time will tell.

I was trying to get on the long side of EBAY for about a week. Finally gave up on Wednesday after getting stopped out all the time.

At least I had GE...
 
NVDA & EBAY on different boat...

there are serious buying and investment banking relationships behind ebay. NVDA didn't... (they were always on the spot light for insider trading etc...)
I am not advocating the fact that it is a good buy... but i definitely would look for something ELSE to short instead.

Good lucky trying to fight that insanely strong tape.

:confused:
 
If you want to find a cheap, used copy of "The Art of Short Selling" by Kathryn Staley, where are you going to look?

Likely either Amazon or Ebay. I wouldn't short either one.

(By the way, here's the auction for the book: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3505991418&category=29296. Is the book any good? Current bid is $21.99. Or the book is available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...02-3054792-0336055?v=glance&s=books&n=507846. Used for $24.75. I just picked this book because the thread topic is shorting stocks.)
