Reshort Amazon

Filed under Stocks

We shorted Amazon last 12 months from $140 to $240 with an average of $200 and covered all $200k worth of Amazon shorts at an average of $175 when it dropped ate last year. We were beginning to worry that we got off prematurely and Amazon would take a sharp dive to our target $35-40 (yes, if it was trading at Apple’s PE that is what it should trade at). Looks like some BS numbers on REVENUE GROWTH is getting bulls excited and bears covering - resulting in a 15.6% short squeeze Friday. Nevermind that its EARNINGS was down on Q1 2011 from $200m to $140m. Nevermind that operating income (loss) is expected to be between $(260) million and $40 million, or between 229% decline and 80% decline compared with second quarter 2011.

It is absolutely ridiculous Amazon is back up - but its an opportunity for us again. Usually after a sharp rise, there will be follow through in price (they call it momentum) - so we will short only 20% of our intended short.

Short 100 shares of Amazon at $226
