"The "Max-Pain Point™" Options Analysis Technique":
ez-pnf.com

>>>There is a Wall Street axiom that says "90% of all the options that are bought and held to expiration will expire worthless".

This means that 90% of the time the people who 'write' the option and collect the premium, never get their stock 'called' from them or get stock 'put' to them.

Whether the actual percentage is 90% or something lower is irrelevant to the evaluation of the Max-Pain™ effect.

The perception that most traders, who buy and hold options until expiration, will lose has also been called the theory of maximum pain or Max-Pain Point™ or just Max-Pain™, for short. <<<
