AMZN options report for 07/22/98 AMZN price: 134.000 Options Forecast for: AUG put price: 114.80 OI = 7740 VOL = 3720 call price: 147.70 OI = 13415 VOL = 4818 consensus: 137.94 R = 0.6 R = 0.8 Options Forecast for: SEP put price: 103.62 OI = 874 VOL = 233 call price: 149.70 OI = 452 VOL = 103 consensus: 128.12 R = 1.9 R = 2.3 Options Forecast for: OCT put price: 104.27 OI = 2297 VOL = 154 call price: 152.36 OI = 5260 VOL = 274 consensus: 142.40 R = 0.4 R = 0.6 Options Forecast for: JAN put price: 98.35 OI = 1253 VOL = 210 call price: 162.42 OI = 3173 VOL = 135 consensus: 146.86 R = 0.4 R = 1.6 net long/short: 1.01 mil. i.v. for AUG = 0.989 i.v. for SEP = 0.933 i.v. for OCT = 0.871 i.v. for JAN = 0.861 A fair amount a premium came out the Sept. and Oct. options, though the Jan. options moved up a little. Maybe the bears are rolling their puts out to later-dated options. The Sept. options are decidedly bearish with a put/call ratio of 2.3 (on a volume basis). The August options were fairly neutral (there is normally a call bias). As far as tomorrow goes, tough call. Maybe the bulls were looking for a split, and the bears were looking for lower sales growth. The press is positive, it seems, so that's where I'd say the bias goes. I'd guess a +5 point move on a closing basis, but frankly tomorrow looks like a better day to watch than to trade (we'll see :)).
