Amazon/eBay, Yahoo/Google: Internet Trading Pairs With Good Potential
Richard Shaw (QVM Group) submits: Google (GOOG), Yahoo! (YHOO), eBay (EBAY), Amazon (AMZN) and Baidu (BIDU) (China) are the leading publicly traded internet companies whose primary business is online and whose face is directly visible and known to the public. There are other important internet companies, but they are more behind the scenes. We prefer EBAY over AMZN and GOOG over YHOO. For those more adventuresome people who seek long / short trading pairs as part of their “alternative investment" or “hedge" allocation" (as opposed to investing in a long / short fund), we think a long EBAY / short AMZN pair, and a long GOOG / short YHOO pair has good potential These are trades, not investments. We are not predicting that the shorts will go down, but that they will rise less than the longs, and perhaps go down.
