"the MM want the options to expire worthless"

i've seen this statement many times and it one more of wall street myths that i disagree with.

for one we don't know what position market makers have--they can be long or they can be short and it can be in puts or it can be in calls.

in any event when a market maker has a substantial risk on his option position, he hedges it. he makes his living on the spread.

regards
