>Do you have AMZN Oct 60 put at this time ???< Yup...and I'd love to buy $100 puts, only they cost too much. The only bad news here would be AMZN doing a 4 or 5 to 1 split. That would probably shoot the stock up another 20 points and my put would be priced in the neighborhood of $15 a share. From the standpoint of market psychology, I want AMZN at $120 when the big doom hits. Not falling from a split level of $25 a share. Hal

Internet Stocks continue to rise. Here's what CNN just released from the commerce department. Findings Looking at the impact of advances in telecommunications and computing, the Commerce report, "The Emerging Digital Economy," found that: Traffic on the Internet has doubled every 100 days. In 1994, a mere 3 million people were connected to the Internet. By the end of last year, more than 100 million were using it. The Internet is growing faster than all other technologies that have preceded it. Radio existed for 38 years before it had 50 million listeners, and television took 13 years to reach that mark. The Internet crossed the line in just four years. Internet commerce among business will likely surpass $300 billion by 2002. Using credit cards, 10 million people in the United States and Canada had purchased something on the World Wide Web by the end of 1997, an increase from 4.7 million people six months earlier. Without information technology, inflation in 1997 would have been 3.1 percent, more than a full percentage point higher than the 2 percent it was. Tom
