>as that is where the mm's will make money,,

Are you implying that an underlying stock is often manipulated by the deep pocketed MMs who make more money through the evaporation of options premiums than they do through buying and selling shares? :)

I mean, comon. It's just a coincidence that "max-pain" is where the stock falls on expiration day nearly every time. :) Stocks rise and fall based on the fundamentals of the company, not on blatant manipulation by the derivatives crowd, right? That's what they tought me in business school.. Then again, they also taught me that the path to riches is to run a profitable company, not through dumping stock to the public as quickly as possible during a mania!

Did you know there would be about 20 millionaires in the valley if there were no such thing as the stock market? Nobody besides cisco/msft/intel has made enough profit to make ANYONE rich.
