X-man, I tried that 'max pain' calculation before, but have lost
my notes. Will look at it this weekend. Don't know how much
stock to put in that sort of thing though. I think AMZN is too
liquid and too heavily traded for the options tail to wag the dog.

Do you know how to calculate the max pain point? i.e. the point where the most
option holders lose money? My guess is that it will close near there.


(and there's just too many strikes on AMZN. For example, what impact
do July 20's have on a stock trading at 100?)

My guess is a close of around 92.
