Check the options activities: As of now, Jul 110 calls is around 1,000 contracts; Premiums went up around $3. 500 contracts for July 115's call. Lots of call speculations.. July puts are being closed. But not as active as the calls. However, there is very very little August options activities... I am realizing that MO options speculations on a daily basis serves as a main driver for Amzn's movements. I am one of them. Of course, options writers(the MMs) are doing the best they can for profit maximization. Very low volume, I am tempted to purchase 2 Jul 120 puts, they are in the $2 or $3 range.

Briefing.com targets $230 for Yahoo! in the next couple of months: Yahoo! (YHOO 186 11/16): Is sentiment clouding judgment? Maybe... Let's face it stock not likely to climb 70%+ every month... But in our humble opinion company is tops in the Internet arena, and as such deserves to remain on our list... Upcoming stock split should also underpin the stock... Target = 230. [ source: briefing.com ] They also like AOL, ATI, DELL, LU, ORCL, QWST, SUNW, TLAB, VRTS. They're recommended as "trading buys", not long term holds. The group they chose in mid-June, is up +34% on ave., helped a lot by the +70% increase in YHOO. If the target being applied to YHOO were used on AMZN, then AMZN would have an equiv. target of 145, just fyi.
