Trade idea
AMZN selling a 30 delta put
If the trader is mildly bullish on Amazon, selling a 30 delta put is a viable strategy. This allows the trader to collect premium while waiting for the stock to move. The expected move for Amazon is approximately 10% over 52 days, which makes this strategy attractive. However, if the trader is ragingly bullish, buying the stock outright is more advantageous. The decision should be based on the trader's subjective feeling about the stock and the current implied volatility levels.
