The premiums for Jun are only about 5 bucks for at-the-money puts/calls. Besides, I
made 15% in 1 hour this afternoon.


KIS,

Implied volatility for the AMZN options buth puts and calls has dropped to 100. They were about 150 for most of 100 and early 1999. The drop was recent. Most securities have implied volatility of 38 so 100 is still high but as you can tell, much lower than before.

Studying options and their implied volatility could help in making a decision on how to play direction. The sexual inuendos of in and out quickly have no place in the stock market. There are pleanty of "adult" sites for that kind of discussion.

Glenn

PS James, This applies to you too;-)
