AMZN options report for 11/13/98 AMZN price: 127.750 Options Study for: NOV put break-even: 121.77 OI = 19929 VOL = 4226 call break-even: 130.17 OI = 21923 VOL = 2832 max. pain: 119.98 R = 0.9 R = 1.5 Options Study for: DEC put break-even: 111.62 OI = 3909 VOL = 358 call break-even: 140.08 OI = 3707 VOL = 670 max. pain: 125.00 R = 1.1 R = 0.5 Options Study for: JAN put break-even: 103.50 OI = 5186 VOL = 424 call break-even: 145.39 OI = 8728 VOL = 451 max. pain: 100.04 R = 0.6 R = 0.9 Options Study for: APR put break-even: 97.63 OI = 2544 VOL = 4 call break-even: 155.91 OI = 2617 VOL = 53 max. pain: 125.00 R = 1.0 R = 0.1 net long/short: 0.54 mil. i.v. for NOV = 0.64 i.v. for DEC = 0.78 i.v. for JAN = 0.93 i.v. for APR = 0.77 The relative stability in AMZN prices is being used as a good excuse to drop the options premiums. The Nov 125 puts, actually decreased 1/4 of a point, in spite of the fact that AMZN dropped 3 points on a close-to-close basis. If this keeps up it'll be tough to make money on the Nov. options, at least owning them long.
