AMZN is a good one to trade. Gets pinned a lot

if you are not patient and have room in your account to take some heat; and/or trade proper position size to your account size... just give your money to charity. Less painful.

more second guessing?

you are already second-guessing yourself - lol

you didn't say whether your account is approved for spreads etc. So how can anyone really help you when you don't state all relevant information. However if you are approved then sell a higher strike and at least minimize your open loss, if it does not sell-off/retrace. Essentially you are...

it's be easier to just give your money to charity... and you would feel better also ! bonne chance

Ryan, only problem I have going long earnings play is broad market seems a bit skittish not to mention been selling off (correcting?) recently. You still look for a 15% pop on this one?

welcome Ryan prayers to your family did you 'miss' GMCR earnings?! Think you would have leaned long or short? I actually bought at 25+ and sold Friday at 27.32 after selling 27c /29c for June - lol - still short 27c and 29c figuring will watch carefully and enter buy/stop if stock gets...

profeSSor - not profesor genius!

holding SPY April 145p and 142p as I posted earlier / now short SPY 139p just added a few April 136c (don't ask why) - may convert into bear spread. ??$@!??*&

are you out of calls? SPY may still re-test 141
