p.s. For tomorrow, If Amzn opens higher and moves higher, don't get nervous, just trade(buy/sell) 200 to 300 shares a few times for small profits. :)) Jan, My unboxed position is too large. I may box a bit of it if we see a strong upmove. Then play it from there. I do get nervous when I have too much exposure. The "thing" has bit me too many times before. Glenn

How to do it may seem clear to you, but it's a mystery to me. In this case, if it opens higher and moves higher, at what points would you close and open? e.b.
