NFLX (NetFlix): I want to short this badly...
Welcome to 2008. My overall thoughts just like everyone else's is that it will be a choppy year however I truly believe there will be opportunity to profit if we're smart about it. I think there will be a rise after 1st quarter earnings but anything will be erased once gas prices hit four dollars and subprime reminds us that it hasn't completely gone away.
So to bein the new year, I want to short NetFlix. My main reason is Apple is rumored to be delivering HD movie rentals to the door now. Frankly, Apple can do it. It has the infrastructure and the following in place to do it. Also, it's at an all time high with the recent upgrades. I'm sure they haven't accounted for that. If I can, I'm going to short.

PANL (Universal Display): Maximizing the Movement
So I'm about to conduct a small experiment. Right now, I'm only using 50% of the total movement of PANL which is all upwards and then waiting for it to drop back down to 14-15 range and then rebuying. All that downward movement is being wasted and gosh darnit! I'm not taking it anymore.
I normally only short stocks that are undeserving of a crazy jump in price however PANL although, a total long termer, has been stuck in the volatility trade winds for a the last year and until they figure out the Blue situation, they'll probably continue to do so.
Anyways, I sold the last 3 units of my trader shares for PANL at 19 and shorted PANL at 19.31 for 1 unit just to test it out. Let's hope PANL is like a rollercoaster and as is fun going down as it is going up.
Notes:
In Portfolio: Still got my long termers and I'm holding them until PANL gets bought out.
Duration: Forever and ever and ever
Dallas or New England: I got New England in a big way.

AMZN (Amazon): ... What in the World is Going On!?
What the hell!? They outline a strategy for China and the stock shoots up even more. This stock reminds of the game Topple. How much higher can it go?
Reasons to short:
1) P/E is 125 Google is 45.01 (the stock is at $500+) and AAPL is 38.81 ($122+).
2) They have one (ONE!) profitable quarter in all of their existence.
3) The Chinese market is notorious for things that can be pirated, copied or downloaded.
4) China's Market is currently getting pummeled.
As always, we'll see. I will personally say that I'm a little fearful of this one but seriously, this has gotten out of hand. Time for this balloon to come back to earth.
Notes:
In Portfolio: Short Selling at 74
Duration: Just a few bucks. The scary thing about this stock is that I don't think the stupid thing is done growing
NBA Finals Prediction: As much as I want LeBron to win. Really, it'd be dumb to go against the Spurs.
