The problem with DELL and AOL is that they actually have a positive cash flow.. Even though both are overvalued by about 5 times, they at least have earnings. Even Yahoo has a tiny profit. Amazon, however, has nothing but widening losses.. (losses increased 100% this quarter, for those who follow analyst estimates)

I may consolidate most of my positions into Jan 60 puts tomorrow, depending on how the market opens. October is too soon- Amazon can scam the public until they release earnings- the DAY AFTER THE OCTOBER PUTS EXPIRE..

So go November at the earliest, and preferably the Jan's if you can afford the premium.
