that crazy doug:

Options pricing is based upon the Black Scholes model. About 15 years ago I obtained a copy of the formula and worked with it for about a year on my Atari 1040ST...Like you have outlined, there are several determinants in the formula, so you plugged in different variables such as volatility, days to expiry etc...It was certainly a worthwhile exercise working with the model as it provided insight as to how options pricing is determined...I would suspect that the Black Scholes model could be found on the web!

With respect to this morning's weakness, not to worry...Unbelievable volumes being sucked up...With the annual Shareholders meeting imminent, look for yet another new high (perhaps even a significant new high).
