Heg, open interest 'optimal values' with minimal costs to option writers is what I normally look at. But I'm interested in strikes that need to be cleared during the week of expiry rather than a stock's closing price on expiry. So if NKE traverses from 54+ to 59+ sometime next week and closes at 55+ ... that would be fine by me.

During end of quarter and earnings season open interest 'optimal values' may be academic for stocks with a large institutional holding since one does not know what hedge positions are placed. One must also consider preannouncements and up/downgrades. AMD ... it would have closed at 37.5 before the prewarn. Today it got an upgrade, so it may close at 35. Not clear.

So, what does OI say for APM for this expiry?
