"Coming into this morning, here are a few stocks with large open option positions in January that will need to be resolved in some fashion today. Most revolve around the at-the-money strikes. Look for potential 'pinning' action.
Applied Materials (AMAT: Nasdaq): open interest of 30,000 contracts each in the Jan. 15 put and call.

Dell (DELL: Nasdaq): 50,000 Jan $25 calls; 45,000 Jan. $25 puts.

Intel (INTC:Nasdaq): 100,000 Jan $17.50 calls; 50,000 Jan $17.50 puts.

And here is an intersting situation: The strikes with the largest open interest in the S&P 500 options are out-of the-moneys. The Jan 900 put and call both have 26,000 contracts open. The Jan 925 put and call both still have about 30,000 contracts open apiece.

Somebody strangling for some income? Or betting on a busting move? "
