Thanks Duane, for posting the options. Here's a little tidbit for the "X-Filer's". Remember the 10/6 "bogus" SB report? Look at the put volume that day for the Nov25's (CQGWE). Somebody with deep pockets disagrees with you. Let's hope they're wrong.

I just noticed that although OI is correct, the volume is for one exchange. It looks like the CBOE. CYMI options are also traded on the AMEX I believe. Why does this matter? Because earlier we found that todays volume, courtesy of Pacific Brokerage, was over 1300, yet these numbers show 567. The difference was the shares traded on the AMEX. This is why some days the OI jumped when only a handful of contracts were shown in the volume.

You'll notice the trend has been for OI to increase in Calls and Puts, which cancels out a lot of the psychology. By that I mean that every time a bull wants to open a call contract there is a bear willing to take him up on it. But the same is happening on the put side. What it does show, we already know: that there is a large difference of opinion between the bears and the bulls and somebody is going to get hurt. Sorry bears, but I hope it's you ;)
