About market, TAPE was green till 2 PM then turned mixed, Nasdaq closed red despite earning beat from TWTR. Tonight earnings were stellar from AMZN GOOG MSFT INTC FSLR but futures are not reflecting any optimism. This market has become individual stocks story good or bad. There is only a closing BLOG on Friday's around 7 PM.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi Saleem & stocktrader,

I got some MSFT & AMZN calls yesterday & luckily they beat. I took profits in MSFT and sold 1 call in AMZN. Now I have one more DEC15 1045 AMZN call. Can you advice if I can wait for some more time?

Thanks for your advices

YES....you have time with AMZN.....it had a breakout today good for another $20 move

Good luck!

Hi Explorer,

I'd probably hold on for a little while more in AMZN as well. These kind of rises are often not a single-day event. That said, it's never a bad idea to take profits that large in an option, especially as the market is so overbought generally.

Good luck with your decision! :)
