Alex, who is your broker? When AOL split, ETrade never did adjust my option position on the "Portfolio Summary" screen. They haven't for AMZN either, there or on the "Account Positions" screen. However, your position quantity, in reality, has doubled and the strike has split in half. The symbols have changed. The Jun 85 puts, for example, are now Jun 42 1/2 puts with a symbol of ZQNRV. I haven't tried to trade mine, so who knows what ETrade would do. Probably screw it up - I'd give odds. But one should be able to trade existing contracts at the adjusted quantity and strike today, no interruption. Good luck, Bob
