Sarmad, Thanks!!! Let me tell you in a nut shell my Amzn story: Bought 2 May(98)100 puts in Apr98 and made $4K in a few days and I thought that I discovered America. I could not find short shares therefore proceeded to naked about 15 Jun+Jul calls...within 3 weeks, I was down(realized loss) $65K. I was obsessed and "box-traded/day-traded" for the next 4 months and sorta of breakeven finally. The fall from $147 to $65 helped a lot! I was trading 100/200 shares many many times.....for a long time.
