Not sure why the price popped on 6/17, but I am happy to short this at the open for the same reasons other people see. The company never makes money and it has gradually sunk to a negative book value. Not much here to justify $234 million in market… More

I've had a red thumb on this for quite some time and haven't tracked it closely for a while. However, I just saw this: http://www.businessinsider.com/henry-blodget-overstock-fires-auditor-elects-to-go-it-alone-2009-11

My goodness. The threats of the competitive landscape are bad enough, but that kind of wackiness... good luck to those who are holding on to this one, is the feeling I get right now.

Shady accounting, virtually no real earnings, negative equity, and a vastly inflated stock price based on the theory that it should be valued with the same premiums as Amazon (AMZN) --- which is probably overvalued itself at this point. Regardless, Amazon is a highly successful internet retailer, whereas, Overstock.com ... not so much.

Both Gary Weiss and Sam Antar have chronicled Overstock's accounting issues in some detail. Link to Gary Weiss article below about SEC finally enforcing regulation G:

The SEC has become more aggressive and appears to be looking into OSTK right now, too. Who knows what will come of this, but I think this is a rotten company one way or another.
