It was Roger's. I remember it, IIRC it was the second stock I ever shorted, after TAVA (which WAS Bill's, all the way).

I wonder whatever became of that company that bought Tava, anyway?

EDIT: I looked it up myself. Real Software (of Belgium) was trading around 127 euros at the time the Tava buyout was announced. Now trading under 9 euros:

That's a blueprint for AMZN's future except their assets will be far less than their liabilities. Long-term in the money puts still have almost no premium - cheap, low-risk way to ride this one down to dust.

The day I sell my last AMZN puts I will go buy a &*#@load of books and videos there. Should be a great fire sale.
