Will AMZN + ZNGA Be Soargasmic For Coral On the Morrow?


OMG in a very big way... At some point, AMZN was +$25 something in Extended Hours Trading - shooting up to around $360 after reporting in-line EPS coupled with better than expected revenues.  Can we gap higher tomorrow so I can get in with the Sell the Sizzlers?  

Maria said it best: "Zero profits, big returns..."  

ZNGA +18% at one point... in value terms, not a very big pop, but since I have November calls, I'm planning on playing this like I played AMD this week - every two levels, baby!  I inadvertently stumbled into an interesting money making strategy by getting my money back on the full straddle or strangle, then getting into the higher strike calls to see if there's further upside.  Less risk, more fun.  

Unfortunately, I let go of those GOOG $1050 calls too soon.  At some point in the trading day, they were worth $4.91 during the height of trading ecstasy.
