- slurgfest 15y agoThinking "x will happen" doesn't mean having a specific timescale in mind. If I'm not mistaken, that's a prerequisite to making money by shorting stocks

- knowsnothing613 15y agoThe float is too thin to short. That is why all new web 2.0 IPO have thin floats. It's easier for larger stake holders to push the price around, and sucker in ma & pa, and momentum traders. But if you look @ ICI data, common folk are getting out of equities. If you own risk in this market, going into 2012, you are a fool. There's a high probability of a financial collapse in Q1 2012.

- ghshephard 15y ago"I think the value of social network based games" - there are different concepts of value. One is a present value calculation of future profits. The other is market capitalization. The first might be what the OP was referring to. The second is subject to all sorts of shenanigans that makes shorting risky unless you know what you are doing. (Speaking as someone who has been on the wrong side of a short squeeze of an equity that came crashing down shortly after I covered when the bleeding just got to bad)
