the parity of a stk is the parity of a stk.. like I said. it doesn't mean that it closes there.
good earnings are bad earnings is what drives cpq this month.
but, all those options will have to be unwound.
in every case depending on where the stock closes , options eventaully have to be unwound. a close at 80 means that few options are exciseed a close at 70 will mena a tremendous amt of options have to be exercised.
the short positons do not have to be clsoed, but they will be if cpq reports great earnings and the short squeeze will send cpq to 90.

imtran, can you prove that parity on ascd was 40...do you know how to calculate parity????
it's not ..I repeat it's not the strike that has the most options.
parity could have been 36...
tyour statement makes it sound like you don't know how to calculate parity???

I do't think you understand. the calls eventually have to close out , they either expire or they are exercised. even rolling your position doesn't keep a call from either expiring or exercising.
