When Amazon.com stock could go $20 either way after it reports quarterly results, how do you trade it? CNBC's "Fast Money" pros weighed in Wednesday.

"It all comes down to operating margins with Amazon because they're razor thin. Valuation's the other side of the coin. This is a tough one for me here at $230. I much rather watch, see what they report, see what margins are before I foray into Amazon," said Drakon Capital's Guy Adami.

Brian Kelly of Shelter Harbor Capital saw a level to jump in.

"If you get it down to $216 — not a bad place to enter long," he said.

Simon Baker of Baker Avenue Asset Management also wasn't a buyer.

"I'd be definitely waiting to buy Amazon after the close tomorrow," he said.
