4 5/8 was a good deal. One of the things I have learned with short option trading is to
always cover for a profit. The freeing up of margin requirements almost always offsets
the downside of commission and premium. Plus, with a volatile sucker like Amazon,
there's usually a chance to put the trade on again.


JC,

My plan was to buy back at 2 and I believe that will be possible if AMZN goes to the low 200s. Also, time premium will be leaving soon. I use to write naked puts all the time but currently do not have a brokage account that permits that. I closed one that did about a month ago. I will have to go broker shopping after the holidays.
