Hey Saleem,

Fantastic timing on the shorts.

Any thoughts on AMZN after the close? It just seems like down 10 pts makes it a much better post-earnings proposition on a stock I already like. I'm thinking about doing a swap out of something...

Hi Stocktrader,

AMZN ER should have better guidance as it is busy season for Q4.....

I say it is a strong buy $$$$

Hey Saleem,

I took a wait-and-see on AMZN. The chart setup, put/call activity, and market sentiment toward high PE stocks all bother me. Maybe I'll get a chance if it gaps down tomorrow?

Hi guys

Amazon blow up, lesson learned. Never bet on earning, it is a 50/50 chance of winning, might as well going to casino.

Hi Up,

AMZN has recovered $9 from AH low.

Up said...

Saleem,

Do you think it is a good idea to get some AMZN or wait for tomorrow morning since there might be some downgrades coming

Michael said...

Saleem,

That will be my question as well. Since holiday season will start to kick in, it is good time to get some AMZN. Thanks.

Hi Up & Michael,


AMZN is a very good buy in AH.

Big funds supports AMZN...so downgrades only last half day.

AMZN should open HIGHER than AH prices.....
