My question is this: with so many other stocks out there that are much easier to read and
play, why are you losers so fixated on AMZN? Surely, if all you want to do is make a
profit then why persist in trading AMZN which has screwed you over time and time
again?


jawd,

I hope you were not referring to me as a loser. Secondly, there is more to be made in the drop of AMZN than in any other stock I can find at present. AMZN is by far the most overvalued.

I have only been screwed over a two week time period.. 100% rise in 10 trading days.. This tells me I have a better chance than not of recouperating half in not all of it in the near term.. Nothing goes up 100% in two weeks outside of a buyout..

What other stocks do you recommend? I haven't seen anything better lately than AMZN, maybe KTEL, EMND, NWNK, and others from last month, but this month, nothing, except SEEK and this AMZN.

I haven't got screw yet, maybe I will, but I doubt it.
I'm pretty heavy on their July put, right now.

We will see about that.
