>> I think that Pending 4 or 5 Amzn call contracts, such as Jun-110 for $1 1/8, maybe a good idea for a small gain/loss.

That's probably a very good wager. Last Feb a bet like paid 10 to 1.
And options expiry is a good chance for reversal.

But my intention is to hold my 200 amzn to December and see what happens. Either they'll go bankrupt, or there will be big excitement re large revenue.
