Good Luck to you, John W. I'm perfectly able to weather a runup of a few points or a few dozen points. I don't give a s*** if the institutions want to buy up some Amazon to try to spike it, or if a few manipulative analysts (but I repeat myself) smugly says "well, Amazon has corrected and now it's time to regroup and build momentum" or some bs like that. I'm still waiting for AMZN to reach my target price of 0. And I say 0 only because shareholders aren't liable for company debt. Otherwise it would be lower.

Hmmm. This is what you said last Wednesday: <<I plan on covering tomorrow due to TA (MACD/questioning HS) and this thread new negative sentiment signaling a possible bottom. >>

I covered all my August puts but am going to hold off on my longer term puts. There were 2 big blocks bought by institutions but otherwise there were a lot of selling too. Infact the sum total of institutional sales was far more than the buys. The party is not over it has just begun IMHO and I am holding all my puts - including Jan 40 ones - puts very very tightly. If some firms are selling AMZN to their clients, this will not be the first time they would be pushing losing stocks. Of course this thing can very well turn around and go to 150 or more. Its just that I do not see that happening.
