Man you could a pretty good used car around here for that much money. I had to look <G> What surprises me is the open interest -- a whole 96 contracts.

JAN 230 (.ZWEMF) 66 3/ 8 + 2 3/ 8 66 5/ 8 72 5/ 8 1 96 Bravo! We might have advised not to do it, but I admire what you've done. It just seems totally ridiculous to me that the internet is supposedly changing everything and one of the brightest stars is a bookseller. Booksellers have been around for how many centuries?

Tommaso, hope you don't mind answering a couple of dumb questions. Do you have to wait until January, 2001 to exercise your puts, or are they good up to and including then? If Amazon splits before you exercise puts, do the puts split, too? BTW, I think you are going to cash in on this one. Eventually. When you do, please let us know, so we can cheer.
