Ken,

I heard McMillan speak about these high volume option trades at the Expo last year in New York. He had some data that said the activity is most often traced to some offshore accounts where there is no jurisdiction for the regulating authorities to identify the perps. He has some rules of thumb for distinguishing between insider activity and hedging that I don't remember off hand, but he cited many examples of nice profits taken by keying off this activity. As they say.. you can't know what they know, but you can see what they do.
