Abe Owns 1,000 Shares of Amazon,which He Purchased for $12

Question 127

Essay

Abe owns 1,000 shares of Amazon,which he purchased for $12 per share 3 months ago.Abe just checked the price of Amazon and found that it is selling for $19 per share.He is so excited about his gain that he has booked a $6,000,20-day trip to Hawaii for he and his wife.He wants to be sure that the trip will be paid for entirely from gains in his Amazon shares because his wife has been nagging him about his frequent stock trading habit and he feels that this trip will demonstrate to her once and for all that he has the skills,acumen,and instincts to get rich trading stocks.He feels strongly that the price of Amazon stock will go through the roof in the intermediate term but is concerned about short-term volatility.Abe's plan is to sell the shares only if the value of his shares either declines below $18,000 or if the value climbs to $30,000.He would like to submit his stock orders right now,because for the next three weeks it is very important to his marriage that he not trade or even follow the market (maybe just a peek at CNBC while his wife is in the shower).What set of stock orders would accomplish his pathetic goals?
