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.

Did you know you don't have to be subject to the trading window, as long as you don't look at metrics? It's surprising that so few people realize that. I'm an engineer at amazon and I trade anytime I want. If you attempt to place a trade outside the window, they actually look at whether you have logged in to certain reporting applications i nthe last 90 days. That is the only criteria.

Which isn't always good. I sold a bunch of stock at $22 outside the window and then watched it hit $60 inside the next window. Gah.
