Jim, re: "about 90% of options expire worthless" True. The reason is that 40% of options are way out of the money puts bought for portfolio insurance. Probably half of the other options are spreads of some kind, so 1/2 expire worthless while the other half end in the money. Of the in the money options, bought naked for investments, I would guess that most end up in the money. Out of the money options, most probably expire that way. "90% of all options expire worthless" is one of those popular statements that is true but very misleading. John
