Amazon (AMZN) Offering Possible 33.33% Return Over the Next 7 Calendar Days

Amazon's most recent trend suggests a bearish bias. One trading opportunity on Amazon is a Bear Call Spread using a strike $1667.50 short call and a strike $1672.50 long call offers a potential 33.33% return on risk over the next 7 calendar days. Maximum profit would be generated if the Bear Call Spread were to expire worthless, which would occur if the stock were below $1667.50 by expiration. The full premium credit of $1.25 would be kept by the premium seller. The risk of $3.75 would be incurred if the stock rose above the $1672.50 long call strike price.

The costly journey of returned goods means big business for some
Thu, 13 Dec 2018 06:32:00 +0000
Last year, customers in the U.S. returned about $351 billion worth of items that they had purchased from brick-and-mortar retailers and online stores, according to estimates by National Retail Federation. Buyers return a huge number of packages they buy from Amazon and other e-commerce sites, so much so that retailers are sometimes left with little choice but to get rid of large swaths of inventory at a cost. There's a good chance that the $100 printer, the $300 wide-screen monitor, or the $170 router you recently bought from Amazon AMZN weren't supplied to the e-commerce giant by their original manufacturers.
