If anything, she thinks (her husband) AMZN will go further up in short/medium term and she needs leverage. Short/medium term because it should be before theta kicks in
Just make me feel confidence in my stock holdings in GOOG (25%) and AMZN (14%) of my total holdings. Great strategy on LEAP but no reason for me to sell shares and get the calls
No. By buying 20 AMZN $120c for around $11,905 per contract (with a theta of basically 0.00, delta of ~.97), she is exposed to the movement of essentially 2,000 shares while limiting her downside. 2,000 shares purchased on the same day have a value of around $462,000 compared to the $238,000 paid for the options. It’s a great play really.
So my stupid understanding is she is selling lets say AMZN but buying some "leaps" bc she thinks in the short term it will lower and then recover making her XYZ?
Nancy Pelosi bought leaps in GOOGL and AMZN. Say less.

AMZN so unpredictable, sold at 245 this year so I call that a win
Not a whole lot of liquidity for these Monday and Wednesday options for individual stocks, but I did sell a couple of 2/2 puts for NVDA and AMZN. I'm interested to see how this impacts the price action on Monday.
AMZN: AH: 238.49, 237.10 support, 246.99 resistance. Below support, 232.00 target.
Me seeing this post while holding a fuck ton of AMZN leaps.. https://preview.redd.it/8pps3ew0rrfg1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89fb7e1f9f0a7d55139ba6d1c1e6c976065e3790
AMZN's stake in anthropic is an earnings rounding error, whereas SKM's stake is 20-30% of market cap.
Yeah not shit eh... Get out of an hour long meeting to see that shit.... Shit day today man. ASTS and ONDS killing me, AMZN keeping me afloat just to take a shit
AMZN owns more of Anthropic, is set to benefit from AI anyway from their cloud business, and is just a much safer play overall
AMZN giving me blue balls today, no movement
Good point, but there is also the inherent decay. I do have, IMO, overpriced MAG7 position and I buy 1/1.5 year out on AMZN only. 2 years seems a bit long, IMO.

Maybe AMZN could go up?
AMZN, META and MSFT will outperform the s&p 500 this year. but im really big on META. it needs to get to 750 asap and ive literally made 1/2 of my yearly salary in just January if it gets there after earnings
Should have stayed in AMZN but I decided I'd rather get my back blown out by NFLX

Fair critique on the TTM P/E. It is a blunt instrument, I'll own that. But my argument isn't about the growth rate - it's about the margin of error. Nvidia is priced for perfection. If they miss guidance by even 1%, the stock gets slaughtered (we've seen it happen). Google is priced for skepticism (DOJ fears, Search decline). I'm not betting that Google grows faster than Nvidia. I'm betting that it's easier for Google to hurdle a 'low bar' of expectations. Much lower tha Nvidia's Also - I disagree on the 'sticky ecosystem' part long-term. Nvidia's biggest customers (Google, MSFT, AMZN, Meta) are actively building in-house chips to remove their dependency on NVDA. When your top 4 customers are spending billions to design around you (TPUs, Maia, Trainium), that 'stickiness' has an expiration date (See Apple ditching Intel for their own silicon). I'm betting on the company that owns the silicon and the end-user.
AMZN is sold lmao finally broke even on that pos
Ohhh I can sell more AMZN CCs now sweet
Monday and Wednesday option expirations being added for following: GOOG, GOOGL, AMZN, AAPL, META, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, AVGO, and XLF We’re so fucked
SEC approved Monday and Wednesday option expiries Starting January 26th, there will be Monday and Wednesday option expiries for the following tickers: GOOG, GOOGL, AMZN, AAPL, META, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, AVGO, and XLF
Thought AMZN would be mooning on that new layoff rumor. I know market loves to see peasants go homeless
thinking about selling CCs on AMZN and guaranteeing it goes on an epic run
I will hold on to my AMZN shares
Cramer just FUCKED my AMZN position 🙄😡

Maggy 7's YTD: AMZN +5.6% GOOG +4.2% TSLA +2.5% (ER Wed) META +1.3% (ER Wed) NVDA -.60% MSFT -1.5% (ER Wed) AAPL -8.5% (ER Thurs)
Hoping in ERO calls tomorrow. Looking to see if AMZN drops for a good entry for LEAPS. Adding to FNV. Looking for entry to LMT.
Reposting from earnings thread, feel free to inverse but here's what I'm thinking for next week: > AMZN strangle Monday close before UPS since UPS fulfills so many amazon orders. Ford/Rivian strangle before GM earnings for sympathetic move. Visa options before FOMC but selling Thursday morning after Mastercard ER but before Thursday AH while IV is still high because that POS never moves after its own earnings. Finally MU 2/6 strangle before Thursday close since SNDK is reporting Friday PM and that 15% implied move is insane.

I mean, it’s a work in progress. I was 23 when I started. I’m now 40. Things have changed drastically. But what I can offer is what I did. I skipped classes and watched Steve Nisons candlestick course. It’s extremely boring and dry but it’s great information. Then I started swing trades small caps under $20. I used the alligator indicator “bill williams I believe? It’s 3 moving averages” and did that for a bit until I discovered options. I was very fortunate back then to have such a giant bull run. PCLN made me a millionaire a few times. Same with most of the MAG 7 now but it was FANG back then (FB, AAPL, NFLX, GOOG) and the became FAANG when AMZN got added. I’ve been doing this on those names for 15 years now.
AMZN LEAPs were cheap compared to META and MU.
What are your AMD and AMZN strikes? I’ve got AMZN Jan $235 and $250. I made almost $6k on AMD call spreads and considered adding LEAPs.
I could've bought NVDA, AMZN, AMD, and more hundreds of times when I could've afforded to drop five figures on them and walk away with a large number of shares. I could've made 80K if I had sold GME when I should have. I made 20K. You say "oh well" and move on. In any case, you didn't have a reason to make the trade. There was no analysis, there was no stimulus your instinct was based on. For it to be instinct, there has to be some input to trigger the instinct, otherwise it's just a "maybe I should do something" moment.
Some of these stocks have insane implied moves (= IV crush) or nasty bid/ask spreads and low volume. I'm thinking the following: AMZN strangle Monday close before UPS since UPS fulfills so many amazon orders. Ford/Rivian strangle before GM earnings for sympathetic move. Visa options before FOMC but selling Thursday morning after Mastercard ER but before Thursday AH while IV is still high because that POS never moves after its own earnings. Finally MU 2/6 strangle before Thursday close since SNDK is reporting Friday PM and that 15% implied move is insane.
Until after my AMZN Leaps die.
This is why I'm bullish on AMZN.
AMZN is a great proxy for robotics, moat alone. I also added RR (richtech robotics) as they are already selling into China.
META down, MSFT up, AAPL up, GOOGL down, AMZN down is my prediction
in 2003, AMZN traded between ~$20 to $50 (split-adjusted)
Funny enough, my ex-gfs dad told me to invest in AMZN in 2003 because in his words, “internet shopping is the future”. So I bought a few hundred shares for less than 2 bucks a pops. I didn’t even know what Amazon was lol. Best stock advice I’ve ever received.
AMZN? Are you crazy? AOL is clearly the winner here! Everyone uses AOL! You've got mail!
So that means I could be buying pre-2000 AMZN right now. Or Netscape Navigator.
Start with a small amount you're willing to lose to learn. Can be done with $200-600. Consider it a cheap but valuable life course. I supplement my core investing with options plays I believe in. My AMD leap is +250% and my AMZN leap is already up 10%. These are my favorite options positions, but I've got a bunch of smaller plays on companies I like with potential to moon. You can probably guess... Until the market turns bear, most of these will print. I like using these gains to bolster my core portfolio.
I'm thinking AMZN is due for a breakout soon
I just bought more shares. I would get some LEAPs, but I spent some capital on AMZN LEAPs and MU shares + call option spreads expiring July and Sept.
It’s not a bubble. It’s mostly just something Antis say MSFT GOOGLE, META, AMZN and others have hundreds of millions of dollars they can spend on the AI buildup. It IS pricy, and smaller companies may die. But this is not a bubble.
Nice to see AMZN, MSFT, META wake up today. Really need those stocks to start moving up.
I said nah to IREN, AMZN, and MSFT and jumped into SMR this morning 😭
Sigh dude. What do I do now? I sold some META CC's at 655 strike, so those are going bye bye. But what do I pivot into? It seems that every other stock is massively inflated and feels like I'd be buying the top before a collapse. SNDX/WDC/MU/ASTS/RKLB/GOOGL all have had massive gains over the last year. What else is there left to buy into? Boring AMZN? Even then, AMZN has gone up a decent bit over the last year, how much higher can it go?
Definitely seems like the switch flipped on a lot of the publicly traded companies, some of the best opportunities if you can pick them right before they go profitable. AMZN seems like they're likely to see their profits surge as they cut overhead this year. I've been waffling on whether I want to buy some here.

Made 100% on my 1DTE AMZN calls earlier, just checked back and they did 900% lmao fuck me
NFLX, INTC both shit earnings. Next week is the same, META probably ok, MSFT will tank, AAPL flat or slightly up, and then GOOGL and AMZN will get slaughtered the week after. I'm bullish as fuck on ARM
AMZN, MSFT, META need to drop a bit and SPY is gone.
gotta love the AMZN thesis of "it's their turn"
META and AMZN rally starts now
AMZN doesnt really give a fuck
AMZN needs to fire those bum ass AMs and OMs that do jack shit
AMZN clearly exit liquidity if they have to cut jobs before earnings.
Got some AMZN and AAPL calls for Feb
It's the time for MSFT and AMZN to pump for absolutely no reason after dumping previously for absolutely no reason. Fucking clown world.
SEC just blindly ignoring random MAG7 sync'd pumps for years... We should have the hundreds of thousands of reddit users send complaints to the SEC... You can't chart/TA when you see the manipulation right in front of your eyes this long... No 1 market maker can do what is happening with MSFT and META and AMZN today... It's so stupid...
Will AMZN run up into earnings, or will this low vol pump get rugged by EOD?
AMZN heard you talking shit yesterday lmao
AMZN and MSFT actually not being regarded today for a change.
AMZN is going to fucking crushhhhh earning. Mark my word $300 by June
NVDA on green, AMD on green, TSLA on green, AMZN on green, others same.
Need INTC and AMZN layoffs to crash the market
Yuhhh 100% on my AMZN 1DTE
Any opinions on AMZN Feb 6 250c?
$AMZN corporate layoffs coming, targeting up to 30,000 jobs
>Amazon (AMZN) plans another round of corporate job cuts next week, following around 14K layoffs in October 2025, as part of a target to reduce about 30K corporate positions, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Holy shit that's terrible LMAO🤌
Neato! I’m going with AMZN they’re firing everybody
AMZN to finally break out and rip higher. This is based on in depth analysis of the sensation deep in my grundle
Thinking about porting AMZN leaps and deleting the app
Tomorrow I’m buying $AMZN calls. If Andy Jassy replaces 30,000 managers with a ChatGPT bot that actually answers emails, the margin expansion alone will send us to $300. Bullish on unemployment.
Everyone trading AAPL and AMZN. Brings a tear to my eye. LONG LIVE $HTZ
It must suck to get laid off and then see the company's stock go up 5% the next day. Let's do it, AMZN.
I thought AMZN was a forever hold but its been kind of lame the past few years.
I think I got a solid month out of the covered calls before that pop. Bought em at 220 and sold at 230. Popped to 250 and now... Back to 230 lmao.. Glad to hear it! Goog was by far my biggest winner this year. Put a lot of the gains into AMZN leaps. Still holding leaps on Google for 2028. Goog gang 🫡
AMZN usually does well after a lay off but it's only up like 4% since the previous lay off last year
BOYS $AMZN IS TWEEEEEKING WTF $1.80+ OVER NIGHT THE LAY-OFF NEWS IS GOING TO BE GOOOD i got 4000 shares on margin at $227 + 4000 of my own
AMZN laying off another 30k employees. lol. Unemployment numbers go brrrrrrrrr..... Calls it is.
