A little more than a year ago I did a little investigation. I used the MaxPain data and compared to Yahoo history for accuracy. I found MaxPain could easily be off by a few buck. That was using the day close numbers. But more often than not, within days of option expiration, both the puts and calls could have gotten out with minimum lost. I believe this is allowing bigger investors a chance to get out at their maxpain, but eager enough to come back and try it again next month. The brokers keep the looses low enough as to not cause so much pain to have their investor run for shelter. Then they can sell the options for the commissions. Commissions that is where the money is, selling option for the commissions. BWDIK Stan
