If you don’t know what to do, you know what exactly to do. Cut your loss, find a new play, grab your sack and soldier on.
Good luck regard

Earning is the 1st, I wouldn’t freak the fuck out until then, if they tank on the 1st, THEN freak the fuck out.

**Close the position**. A -20% loss isn’t too terrible.

I would personally cut it. It’s not really a bad play. But what exactly is your exit strategy? You shouldve set a stop loss at -10% with that much money on the line.. if you won’t cut it at 20% then I’m guessing you’re just going to let it expire worthless?

Sell for a loss, buy puts with remaining money, then when Amazon goes up on Monday, sell for another loss and buy calls. Rinse and repeat until all the money is gone.

your exittrategy is to digg your head into sand?

You’re down 20%, that takes a 25% gain to get even. If you’re down 50% it will take 100% to break even. Cutting losses is underrated.

Sell them buy 500 shares and sell covered calls until you dig yourself out of the hole. If you believe in the company then owning equity shouldn’t be an issue

The rule is that the stock cannot go up again until you specifically sell your option position at a loss.

sell? down 20% on short dated options is almost a rounding error. live to fight another day if you don’t feel comfortable in this play anymore. Also, that probably means you’ve sized up too much.

Honestly OP with your expiration date you still have a high likelihood of profiting from this trade, AMZN’s numbers are still good.
I guess the questions to ask yourself are, did anything change with the company’s outlook since I bought? How do current market conditions affect my position? Am I comfortable with the possibility of loosing more?

Those calls weren’t the *worst* choice, but Amazon has been a stinker for the past month. You’re probably better off selling them, but anything could happen ofc

Jeff Bezos to sell another $5bn of Amazon shares ~ That marked the first time since 2021 that Mr Bezos had sold Amazon shares. The company’s shares have risen by more than 30% this year on expectations that growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) technology will boost earnings at its cloud computing business.

I didn’t buy anything on prime days… Sorry

You’ve got two weeks before IV and Theta gang pillage your anus at the same time
You need a ~ 10% move which is doable, but you need an immediate relief rally on Monday or Tuesday. By then you’ll still be down 25-30% though.

You are betting $110K on earnings. Sell this man. Please don’t bet on earnings. Have you not seen how the markets have been behaving? Good earnings stock drops, TSLA moons. Or atleast diversify this $110K on earnings. There is nothing special about amazon. In the broader market, whatever will happen to amazon, will also happen to meta, aapl, goog, nvda, msft, cost, lly, jpm, tsm. Just diversify this. And please, don’t play earnings.

Just paperhand it for a day like this [dude](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/Ajkg3OLd10).
You still have a couple weeks. Earnings are around the corner. It could pump
You bet $100k on options and didn’t think what to do if they went down? You belong here! Clearly you hold until zero and then post the loss porn.
Be patient. Today has CRWD outage and Option expiration.
Next week should be green.

IMF said they saw economic activity slowing in the US. Unemployment went from 3.2 to 4.1 (so far).
And you’re buying calls on retailers?
Bad timing, and in options… ouch I would sell and take the loss before it goes down further.
What’s wrong. Isn’t your intention to free yourself from the materialistic world and lighten your soul?
Right with you

It has gone down 7 days in a row the slide cannot last forever.
Ask for a refund
Time to shine Bezos head.
Wait for August earnings bro. You will be fine.
