AMZN with it's 10th fake pump of the day
I wish my MSFT and AMZN positions were flipped I’m much more bullish on AMZN but have like 10x the shares in the other saj
AMZN gaslit me with that fake pump
That is not printing. Better off with CSPs and CCs with AMZN.
AMZN is an interesting one because they still have a lot of exposure on their traditional business side. Just like with tariffs. Though they have moved more to electric vehicles.
If $MSFT, $META, and $AMZN stock prices continue to fall, then yes these huge hyperscalers will cut back on their AI cap ex spend. Just look how Zuck pulled his own TACO after the huge selloff in the stock after his Billions $$$ cash burn on his Metaverse. Google is the only hyperscaler that the market has been giving a free pass for the AI Cap EX spend right now. The other's 1 yr chart looks as flat as AT&T's 1 yr chart.
Kinda seems like data architecture is exactly the type of thing I would rather a human not have a hand in. But I don't own META and I do own AMZN, so your thesis works for me!

Up bigly on AMZN, question is: take profits or screenshot?
SP500 goes up in value over time because it increase revenues, profits and distributions over time - it's really as simple as that. It is 500 of the very best companies. To be amongst the very best typically means you have some form of "durability". Additionally, which companies get hit first and hardest from oil and energy issues? It's your transportation, shipping and manufacturing. Are any of these high margin, innovative companies with competitive advantage? Aside from a small niche of advanced manufacturing, the answer is no. It is mostly commodity services who buy their technology from other companies. Look at your cloud compute hyperscalers - your WMT runs their online services on MSFT Azure. NFLX and RDDT run their services on AMZN AWS. I could go on with countless companies that run Fortune 500 to mom and pops who rely on MSFT/AMZN/GOOGL for their cloud services 24/7; even the US government. By no coincidence, these companies are also amongst the very to weights in both SP500 and NASDAQ100. Other companies at the top have similar "durable" attributes. So your major market indices are carried by the "very best companies" who consistently churn and increase profit no matter the conditions. It certainly isn't companies that are scraping to get by, or Main Street America who is getting their pocket's squeezed at the pump.
AMZN is stored in the balls
AMZN is the only true store of value
I Lon for the diamonds in the rough; it’s 99.99% research & .01% clicking buttons. $AAPL, $AMZN, $TSLA, etc. were once penny stocks. Minimal effort could make you maximum gains if you choose wisely.
SPY flat to down in real terms. Looks at AMZN, MSFT, META, all trading at historically low multiples while growing high single to double digits. Easy buys

Same with AMZN or close to that. I swear that stock. 😂
Yup. Zoom out on USO. See how extreme the peak is? Then see the spike on other commodities during this time. Too much free money looking for returns. Speculation. Now. Realize in 1991 Iraq set fire to 600 of 700 oil wells in the country. Iran is following their dumbass plan. I get these are bigger infrastructure plays by Iran. But also realize Iran is dead in the water, and major super power countries and companies are looking to move in and pick over the bones. Iran is fucking dead. I'm not praying for any death and hate Mango, but it's like a homeless person fighting a wealthy person. California has 10x the GDP of Iran. AMZN has 75% higher revenue than Iran's GDP. I know you think Iran can win, but its a waiting game at worst. Done VERY soon at best.
You have no fucking idea. MU, NBIS, COHR, AMZN, AMD.
MSFT has $625b in RPO, and when you count in AMZN and GOOGL it's a total of about $1t. The ink is already dry on those numbers and it's not counting any new deals/products/services they sell going forward. Cash flow is not a problem.
I hear you. I'm 30% cash gang. I'd be more but I've been DCAing to AMZN.
Is the demand there? Most definitely Is the actual cash to pay for it there? Dubious given that MSFT/AMZN/GOOG are quickly running out of operating cash flow to pay for this capex and OAI/Anthropic are attempting to reach cash flow positive ASAP given their limited runway

I’m a bull but this is bad for AMZN, GOOGL, META and MSFT. That trillion gotta come from somewhere. If WS is spooked by the 660bn for 2026. 2027 is going to be rough for these hyperscalers if they don’t show proof of return on the capex.
AMZN please come to pick me up, I made the mistake of buying you ffs
Why is that when AMZN announces sweeping layoffs they don't boost the stock?
If you bought AMZN in July of 2021 - you've only made 9% return over almost 5 years time lol Let that sink in.. Terrible terrible performance
Picked up 1 week KO, AMZN and 2 week XOM calls, valid?
The whipsawing on AMZN is crazy
AMZN has his dick into claude code. Why would you take the risk of not owning it?
AMZN is such a POS stock. Always pumps like crazy only to fade. On the long term too: pretends it's actually going somewhere then algos sell it right back down between 200/210
MSFT and AMZN wtfffff
Nasdaq up 1.2% and AMZN trying as hard as it can to go red lol
AMZN has been in no mans land for a month and counting
Something about this image looks sus to me. Some of my stocks, like AMZN and MU, are up this month. Looked at FinViz heat map, and it's different. When was this image taken? [https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec&st=w4](https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec&st=w4) Looks like this was posted on Binance in Russian, X and here.
I’m gonna need SPY, AMZN, and RDDT to copy 🌽tomorrow.
Ive been selling 1-0 day expiry covered calls on my SPY and AMZN shares the past few weeks and its been working pretty well. Worried about the inevitable SPY bounce and my shares getting called away though tbh. Could have a 90% win ratio but all it takes is one bounce and then your missed gains exceed your profits. But I suppose theres no free lunch in stocks
“Oh yeah bro, AMZN may have been flat for half a decade, but THIS is the year it moons. Trust me bro.” This shit stock’s been cursed for as long as i remember (I’m trying to help pump your bags)
Just realized I have 28% of my port in AMZN. That's scary and what happens when you keep trying to average down like an idiot
If you’re in tech, hopefully it’s semis. Shit like MSFT and AMZN will continue to trade down regardless of what the broader market does
Man wtf are you talking about!? I did and I'm up 11%. This chart is wrong. The top 10 stocks from wsb are: MRN, OXY, NBIS, ASTS, ONDS, POET, RKLB, META, AMZN, RDDT.
Fair point. My 6-9% range includes some single name spreads in the sample which pulls the average up. SPX-only would be tighter. The 15-20% on something like AMZN around earnings is painfully accurate though. I've seen 25%+ on less liquid names with weekly expirations. The relationship between underlying liquidity and spread slippage is basically linear until it isn't, and then it's exponential.
He said SPX. It should be closer to 5%. AMZN easily 15-20%
I'll second the Schwab/TOS recommendation from a different angle. The fill quality improvement isn't just about the spread. TOS gives you actual Level 2 on options chains so you can see where size is sitting before you submit. On RH you're basically submitting blind and hoping. That visibility alone changed how I price my limit orders. On the legging separately thing, how are you managing risk in between legs? Genuinely asking because the one time I got caught with a naked short in AMZN during a fast move it cost me more than every legging improvement I'd ever collected. If you have a systematic way to manage that exposure I'd be interested to hear it.
This is the best comment on the thread and it's not close. The simulation-to-production framing is exactly right. I've never heard anyone from the ML side describe it that way but it maps perfectly. Backtest is training data. Live is inference on out-of-distribution inputs. The model doesn't break, it just degrades quietly until you measure. Your AMZN leg story is the one data point that matters. People always pitch legging as free edge but they're only counting the wins. One unhedged short put in a fast tape and you're giving back months. I learned the same lesson the expensive way. Combo orders are insurance and insurance has a premium. The real theta point deserves its own post honestly. The gap between displayed greeks and where you can actually close the position is the entire game once you get past the strategy selection phase. Most retail traders are managing a model of a position instead of the actual position. Appreciate you sharing the 400-spread dataset. That kind of sample size is rare in these threads. Usually it's someone with 12 trades telling you their system works.
This is the kind of post that actually helps people and I wish there were more of them here. I build AI systems for a living and trade options on the side so I see this exact problem from both angles. The fill quality gap you're describing is something we'd call a simulation-to-production discrepancy in the ML world. Your backtest is the simulation. It assumes clean execution at theoretical prices. Your live environment has latency, spread width, queue priority, and market maker behavior that the model never sees. Every system I've ever built, whether it's processing documents or executing spreads, degrades when it hits real world conditions. The question is always by how much and whether the edge survives the degradation. The 8-10% haircut you landed on is smart and honestly more conservative than most people are willing to be with themselves. I track something similar on my own book. I sell premium on SPX and a handful of liquid single names, mostly 30-45 DTE strangles and ICs. My version of your logging is a spreadsheet I've kept for about two years now where every fill gets recorded against the theoretical mid and the NBBO at time of submission. Across roughly 400 spreads the average slippage from mid is right around where yours is, call it 6-9% depending on the width of the spread and time of day. Wider spreads on less liquid names are obviously worse. SPX weekly 25 delta strangles during midday are the tightest fills I get. On the legging point I'll push back a little. I stopped legging into spreads about a year ago after getting absolutely smoked once on an unhedged short put during a flash move in AMZN. The fill improvement across 20-30 trades was real, maybe 10 cents average, but one bad fill where I had to chase the long leg 40 cents higher than planned wiped out three months of legging gains. The math doesn't work in your favor once you account for the asymmetric tail. You save a little every time it works and lose a lot the one time it doesn't. Combo orders are paying an insurance premium to the market maker and I've made peace with that cost. The theta observation is the one that I think more people need to hear. Displayed theta on a platform is a theoretical number based on a model that assumes continuous markets and log-normal returns. Actual decay doesn't happen smoothly. It chunks. Your position can show $14/day of theoretical theta and then sit flat for three days and then jump $50 on day four because gamma accelerated into expiration. If you're managing a book based on smooth theoretical decay you're going to consistently be confused about why your daily P&L doesn't match expectations. I stopped looking at displayed greeks for position management and started looking at where I can actually close the spread right now vs where I opened it. That's your real theta. Everything else is a number on a screen. Good post. The data-driven approach to measuring your own execution quality is exactly the right instinct. Most people would rather blame the strategy than measure the infrastructure.

Focusing on my high conviction growth stocks like RKLB, BE, ASTS, NBIS Also buying the dip on bluechips like AMZN, GOOGL, NVDA etc. and keeping a liquid cash position which is 20-30% of my portfolio + I have to mention that some of the gains is because of FX.
My one post for the weekend. Can't stand the 10,000 cry baby, world ending, unhelpful posts. Remember that drop in Silver? That's coming for oil after one single tweet that can come at any single moment. Meanwhile every country, even OPECs, want cheaper oil to prevent competition. It's Iran vs the world and thats not a thing. Oil will 100% drop within the next few months. Meanwhile, deteriorating macroeconomic data and boots on the ground could, or will, only lead to more slow bleed in indexes, while key stocks will continue to climb. I still believe there's a greater than 50% chance the war ends soon, especially with midterms coming and the GOPs obsession with propaganda, plus GOPs focus on stock values. The GOP can easily say they pulled out, say it's done, and quietly continue to bomb. So let's hope I'm right: Long puts on oil because premiums are so cheap. Stocks and long calls on American AI infrastructure bottlenecks. Other long stocks I'm not selling (AMZN and AMD is stupid cheap). Long index puts to avoid huge drops in the event market jumps.

This is what a great post looks like: [$17.2K Gain on AMZN](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wb5m4o/not_too_shabby_172k_gain_amzn/) - OP described his gain in the title, has a clear screenshot showing both the entry and exit, meaning his gains were locked in, and they explained their reasoning in the comments and what they learned. All around a great post! Here are examples of what could get your post removed: * [$300,000 SDC Loss. Still not selling](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wpm9am/over_300000_unrealized_loss_sdc_not_selling/) - Even though this is a tremendous loss and something worth posting about, **the position hasn't been closed yet**. Here are examples of amazing posts which could have been even better: * [$75,000 DDOG Loss.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/unsrey/loss_porn_ddog_call/) - This is a great post and one that won't get removed. However, the OP could have talked about *why* they entered the position in the first place, what their target price was, and what went wrong. OP didn't stick around in the comments to answer any questions. * [$1.1MM Loss, No details](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/lxm6wt/hold_me_1100000_loss/) - OP simply posted a screenshot of their overall portfolio balance. It's definitely a big loss, but it's not that interesting without OP talking about what trades they were in and why. OP didn't answer most questions in the comments which left many readers speculating on what happened. --- All that being said, we are here to help.

AMZN will be fine bro they sell all the real shit and the internet
Dude fuck my goddamn life. Fuck this stupid Iran war, fuck stupid ass trump for thinking he could decapitate Iran and they wouldn't close the straight. I'm down like 8k on my fucking AMZN stock. Average cost of 218, I literally bought at the fucking top dude. FUCK MY LIFE.
AMZN LEAPS are still the way to go imo
Bought yesterday when it was -1%. Then it ended -2%. Sold a lot of what I was holding today to keep averaging down until I was full port. But it just wouldn't stop dropping. At least MSFT, GOOG, and AMZN today has a brief window of recovery but AAPL was just a straight plummet. Sold most of them because who knows what will happen over the weekend but still holding a few. Going to get drunk and thank my former self for at least withdrawing all my initial amount I deposited and now I'm only playing with winnings. So no harm no foul. But it still fucking stinks.
I would go with QQQ or SPY. The first one has higher premiums, but SPY is a bit less volatile. I have done both. Currently, I have the longest expiry QQQs. I start at 80 delta, and when they rise to 90 delta as the stock market goes up, I roll them up in strike back to 80 delta for a credit. If they go down, I will just keep them. Then I sell weekly (roughly 10 days) covered calls against them, typically at 20 delta. I have also done individual stocks like AMZN, META, and NVDA, but I feel QQQ provides better diversity. I also keep a lazy eye on RSI. I don’t sell calls on the very red days, as it typically just backlashes on the following day and covered calls would quickly get ITM. I roll the short calls up in strike bit by bit if they get to 40 or 50 delta. It is easy to do with QQQ as they have daily expirations; for example, I can add one extra day and a $2 higher strike for a small net credit.
Dude fuck AMZN, fuck the market. Fuck stupid ass trump for starting a war with Iran, thinking they weren't going to close the straight. How fucking stupid can you be??
I have 1 account that's up 3.5% today, 6% this week because of Micron. It would be higher but my 30 AMZN 12/18 calls are bleeding, even after averaging down.

Imagine holding AMZN as it does nothing since mid 2021 🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻
Yeah claude and anthropic are the only LLM worth anything. Truly AMZN of the dotcom era.
