If y'all think those AMZN puts are so overpriced, why not sell them? <g> Barb

T, the interesting thing about very expensive options like this one is let's say two months from now the stock is down 100 pts: this would lower the volatility measurement by enough to offset the nearer to the money change, with less time to expiration the price of the option would probably go down. Sometimes more can be made on puts after the crash from a parabolic move, especially if it bounces off the crash and stalls for a few days, then the premiums usually plummet. Tim
