Options start trading more/less at the open. It can take them a while to get going if the stock itself hasn't started trading due to order imbalances, or news. CNBC is saying AMZN has opened +1 7/8, fyi. They're saying that it's bouncing around a +/- 2 points right now.

You know what I like about that 6 point spike to 136 from 130 in oh about 25 seconds, it reinforces the fact that the same can happen in reverse, or faster and more severe. Remember folks still a small float and expect short term vol. Personally I'd sleep best playing with Jan options -- one more earnings report, and time for some well considered more thoughtful pieces on the web amzn (and maybe even a nice market correction) bgp to get serious and bks to continue ad wars, oh and did i mention all that insider selling?
