Here are some numbers calculated today (closing prices) for the January expiration (today) from the "Maximum-Pain Theory (MPT) Options analysis". 'MPT Value' below is the Maximum-Pain Theory Options value calculated from the site, i.e, where the stock price should end up today if the theory is valid.

Few of the stocks below closed anywhere near their 'MaxPain' value. Most didn't close near ANY strike price. IMHO any closing prices close to the MaxPain value are easily explained by the fact that most near term options purchased are those with a strike price close to the stock price. Conspiracy theorists, please refer to Occam's Razor pespmc1.vub.ac.be
