Ob C, I've been meaning to look closely at outstanding option (put and call) interest at various strike prices, (which stock price would cause greatest option expiration loss) gotta feeling it will corelate closely to where this dog lies @ option expire...... I've watched for this effect, but can't say that it occurs with any predictability, but it does happen. I think it largely depends on how hedged and/or concentrated the option writers are. I have also seen far too many stocks close so near to or EXACTLY on (the real kicker) a five-dollar multiple on expiration day that it leaves one only to assume that the laws of statistics and probability have been temporarily repealed. Discovering whether this is "natural" would make both an interesting doctoral thesis and a worthwhile SEC investigation.
