I lost six thousand dollars today.

Amazon's stock tanked after the earnings call. We dropped $5.84 per share today. My initial grant dropped back into the red. Pre-tax, the value of my vested options dropped just under $6k today.

I am not a happy monkey.

there was an old Doonesbury that i always remember whenever anyone mentions options.
Mike (to his daughter): "Do you know what stock options are?"
"Sure, They're lottery tickets, right?"

you have my sympathies about the stock tank... that really sucks... i've just never held any faith in stock options myself.
