Peter, RE: CBOE. There is so much volatility premium built in that the only people that have a decent chance of making any money are those that sell the options. Unless you believe AMZN is going to tank BIGTIME by expiration, forget the puts for now, or go way out of the money, or deep-in except they don't have puts very deep in. What you witnessed is some of the volatility getting let out. If AMZN slowly moved down to 85 over the next 2 weeks, the July 90's might still be worth less than what you paid for 'em.

Regards, DWW
