Discussion of short term trades in options. Options can be calls, puts or spreads & are usually held 1 to 30 days. Close positions when they turn profitable. Trades are identified using technical analysis to determine entry points, some fundamental analysis and current news. Proceeds discussed are gross proceeds. Proceeds = gain per share x 100 shares x # of contracts. There may not be a trade every day, the setup has to there or it is better to wait for another day.

AMZN
I like the AMZN Put Spread of 11/90(Buy) and 11/85 (Sell) but not at the bid / ask. I would prefer to pick it up at 1.70 or less. Technicals look like it is ready to drop and Nov gives you enough time to get out.
I have been trading options since 1982. Besides having an MBA in finance, BS in marketing/economics, I have a career background in banking and real estate. I have well over 30 years' worth of experience in evaluating investments. Visit my website, www.sweetdreamstradingcompany.com for a free trial
