IS,

I am being honest; really. Think about it, If I am shorting 1,000 shares right now or having a large exposure, then all the "magic touch" will be out of the window.

I had the 60K problem barely three months ago! For example, among others, I wrote 2 Jul 100 uncovered call contracts (after the split announcement) for $3 7/8 premiums in (late May, or early Jun), and thought nothing about it. Then after the actual split, it became 4 Jul 50 uncovered calls for <$2 premium. Imaging covering those when Amzn was $122 on July 7 or July 8! It was very stressful and I made all the bad moves possible!

Anyways, enough of my past with Amzn, that's gone!

Jan, :))
