Amazon.com (AMZN) - Earnings Preview: Here's What the Option Market Reads About the One-day Move. Do You Agree? I don't...

This was the takeaway, was simply what the title declared: I though t the option market had underpriced volatility.  Much like AAPL yesterday, it seems the option market did not reflect enough risk in this event.

The option market priced a stock price range of [$313, $357] . As we can see, the stock is well through that range. Let's turn to the Options Tab as of right now.

As of the first post the $335 strike straddle was worth $23.  Today that straddle is worth ~$28.15 to parity.
