Having a little trouble interpreting your position ... are you going to accumulate short shares around the split? Also, would the split help prevent a short squeeze by increasing the float?

I am absolutely bearish on Amzn's L-T price appreciations from here. But I am waiting for a supposedly split effect in the next few days to accumulate some short position. I have two GTC pending orders to write uncovered calls; 1. 2 Jul 95 for $9 premium and 3 Jul 100 for $6 premium.

Any comments, regarding to how to better take advantage of the May /or May not happen split effect, are welcome.

p.s. I believe that the split will easy the short-squeeze problem to a large extend, not immediately, but shortly afterward.
