Implied vols. on the Nov. options are dropping fast. Sure looks like they want to keep the price right around 125 come Friday's expiration. The "max. pain" point is 120, which is a bit lower, fyi. The vols. on the Jan. options are holding steady at the 80% level. There weren't enough April options traded to do an implied vol. calc.

AMZN didn't follow the net stocks rally, but didn't retrace much either. Beats me, which direction it heads. I'd have thought it would trade down on lack of news, and post earnings report, but logic and The Thing don't seem to go together. :)
