Question from Faye Cuzername - On 10/24 I bought 2 Dec 305/315/325 call fly in AMZN for $0.91. Stock moved through the fly so today (11/14) when AMZN @ 326, I sold it for $1.50. A whopping $.55/ contract after commissions. What adjustments should I have considered with the fly since I do not see AMZN retracing during the Christmas season? Note that I have a 9-5 so I am not watching the screen all day if that affects what you suggest.\xa0
