Hello to LD63 (See, I can't say it!) Thank you for your reply this morning to my inquiries regarding QQQ puts. I will review it again later and see if I understand the strategies you refer to. I see that very short term trades make sense near expiration due to the accelerated theta decay. As for MM targets, I am less clear on this theory, as the likelihood of exercising would seem to increase the more in the money the contract is. If only at the money, then exercising loses money due to transaction costs. And, if call volume exceeds put volume, then moving price above the strike with highest open interest would be their goal. (It seems that call volume generally exceeds put volume?) BTW - Are you back in the puts today? Regards, The Phoenix \```> //
