Is it your thoughts that it is very strange to see these
high volumes on the high end of the strike table, see
below? These are for Puts.

Strike price change Volume
47.5  .SMHTW 20.50  +0.60  20.50  20.90  5011 
50  .SMHTJ 23.00  +0.60  23.00  23.40  3000 
55  .SMHTK 28.60  +1.20  28.00  28.40  5002 
60  .SMHTL 33.60  +1.90  33.00  33.50  6251 
65  .SMHTM 38.60  +1.90  38.00  38.50  8251 

Typically the highest volume were on the low end of the
strike price. See below the low end of the strike price.

Strike price change Volume
20  .SMHTD 0.10  0.00  0.05  0.15 
22.5  .SMHTX 0.35  +0.10  0.20  0.35  181 
25  .SMHTE 0.75  +0.20  0.70  0.85  43 
27.5  .SMHTY 2.05  +0.65  1.75  1.90  794 
30  .SMHTF 3.80  +0.70  3.50  3.70  95 

So this suggests that thousand of puts were sold today
with a very high premium. Then this implies that the Big
Money see an upturn in the future and these puts will die
worthless.

Is that what this is suggesting?

Thanks

Stan
