You should probably buy some MSFT at the open tomorrow and fund it with a short position in AMZN. For posterity's sake, the closing price of both companies today was:

8/8/2013 AMZN: $295.74 @ $135.12 billion market cap MSFT: $32.89 @ $273.97 billion market cap



He thinks Microsoft is in trouble and Amazon is strong ... so you suggest he should short Amazon to buy Microsoft?


Thank you - I wasn't sure what the point of that was, other than illustrating that perhaps I don't make my points clear enough. :)


I think you are a tradeable fade!


I get that a lot, actually.

Still trying to figure out what it means, but thank you.


What is your point exactly? These numbers don't mean anything in an investment point of view. You can't compare them.
