Glenn, I hope you got your wish for Amazon today, I sure did! Bought a lot of Feb puts towards 148 on the pop this morning. Although its getting harder every day to trade options on this POS, the market makers refuse to fill limit orders that match the bid/ask. Orders will just sit there.. For a test, I put in a few market orders for single contracts and they all filled instantly, but ALWAYS they charged me a dollar more than they should have, without even changing the bid/ask to make it look legit. They just scalped the price. I had to buy most of my puts today for slightly higher than the ask, just to get the friggin trades to execute...
