Mike Khouw's Amazon (AMZN) Trade

On
CNBC's Options Action
, Mike Khouw talked about an options strategy in Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:
AMZN
). He said that Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:
BBY
) slipped after posting disappointing earnings, and added that he is worried about Amazon (
AMZN
) too. Mike Khouw explained that Amazon (
AMZN
) is trading at a high P/E multiple, and he thinks that it will eventually come down. He wants to make a bearish bet with a calendar spread. Mike Khouw wants to buy the April 165 put for $10.20, and sell the January 165 put for $3.60. This trade would cost him $6.60, and it will be the most profitable if AMZN trades at $165 in January, and below $165 after that. Amazon (
AMZN
) gained 0.94%, and closed at $175.57 today.
