MichaelW:

Examining the amount of open interest in November puts and calls shows that the payout by the writers is minimized at $85 (as of today). Whether you believe that the MMs can move the price to their benefit or not, the closing price on expiration day is rarely more than +/-$7.5 from the minimum payout amount, usually within +/-$5, and I think it's been greater than $7.5 only once (in July) during the ten months I've been tracking it. So from a historical basis, I would predict that INTC will move up from today's $75ish range to at least $77.5, and probably close to $80 by November 22 (expiration day). This has guided me successfully over the past ten months in selling puts and calls, with only one assignment occuring (in July).

Good luck,

Adam (My opinion only, and not Intel's)
