>In hindsight, could this have been predicted ?

I dont have time to dig back through the messages, but Otherchap (you know, the guy william kept accusing me of being) predicted that the price would run right back to where it started before the split, because the average investor doesn't even know what a market cap is.

I think he also predicted a 100% rise in 10 days or something.

Anyway, just got execution back on my calls, the profit gives me a cost basis on all my feb puts of around negative 20 bucks apiece. :)

Amazon is now up over 100 points pre-split.

Thats 4 billion in market cap added in 10 minutes.

William, still think this isn't a mania?

The biggest one in our lifetimes?

Darn. Anyone else sell their AMZN too early this week? I'll be the one in the corner kicking himself.
