>>The premium on a call that far "below the money" is crazy for anyone who thinks the stock is going up. Why not pay a truckload less dollars and just buy a 95 call instead?

When was the position opened? Amazon has been as low as 65 during the last 6 weeks.

75 call on AMZN is in the money, not below the money. Writing calls in the money shortly before expiration is a profitable way to sell stock. Of course, they may be sorry tomorrow.
