Amazon (AMZN) My New Prey
I took profits on my JC Penney shares and bought some Amazon (AMZN) put options. It was at $93.05 and already down -1.36. I took this as a sign of weakness that it is down on such an up day in the market and checked out the chart. Stochastics are at an overbought level and it is at a point where bears can argue it is forming a double top (this is excluding 10/23 where it went to $101 - that was pretty much a one day anomaly so I am not counting it).
