Amat is tough to figure.

There is a close balance between puts and calls on open interest.

One exception is the 20 price strike - more puts sold than calls sold - so under 20 the MM gives up inventory.

It is very close all the way down to 16 on the other strikes.

Most unusual vs other semi stocks.

Maybe merger has had an effect on it ? - I'm clueless other than the puts at 10 I sold 12 months ago look like they'll expire worthless in January.
