Sarmad -- LOL -- that was my original buy puts date -- same reasoning -- then I thought if it is so 'obvious', maybe I should move Tuesday! Oh well, Wednesday will do.

From the DLJ Observer. I am amazed! "Of course, we can't end our rumination on the virtues of focus without relaying an anecdote about the master of fixation. Jeff Bezos, on a trip to Disney World with his family, sat through a performance of Beauty and the Beast (which we won't interpret as the triumph of stamina over judgement) that ended with the release of a big flock of doves. Live doves. Lots of them. Flying around in the auditorium or the Magic Castle or whatever the forum was. When someone afterward made the indisputable comment that the doves were spectacular, Jeff, apparently reflecting throughout the show on the nuances of 1-Click shopping, said, "What doves?". Now that's concentration. And that's why Amazon is going to be a huge company. "

A wise man one said that if everyone knew for certain that the market would crash this Friday that they would wait until Friday at 3:45 to sell.

Even though there is no new information, the run up is occurring in the last 3 days. Sarmad, I was a "newbie" until during the Thanksgiving period last year; a family member "told" me what momentum investing means and looks like. He suggests "not to be one" but "got to abosolutely understand it"!! I stayed away from Amzn for about three weeks during the holiday period. But listened and bought 100 shares of YHOO during the Thanksgiving week at $180s(before split). Traded a couple of times and eventually boxed at $305(before split) then finally closed and had nice $$.
