>> THIS IS WHY YOU BUY PUTS INSTEAD OF SHORTING THE COMMON STOCK FOLKS. They can't squeeze a put as long as you keep your conviction. << Or you could just cover your short before AMZN is up 12 points? Puts aren't always the best answer OtherChap. >> Shorting common shares results in margin calls, which is the only thing that keeps this stock afloat. << Only if you shorted AMZN at 70 because people like OtherChap convinced you it was going to $10 next week!
