Yup,

Last week was fighting through post option expiration - which happens often after an up into expiration.

There are always call owners (that are in the money) that get assigned stock and low on cash , that are new nervous nellies . As far as holding onto a stock that may be a bit under water by the amount of call premium they paid those new holders can easily be influenced into selling the stock.

Cohu was a very good example - great earnings and all the stock did was look weak under $ 20.00.

Still a lot of puts and calls to expire this month on the 18th.

We see!

If the market maker has accumulated enough stock - he'd love to blast it up into the twenties and make a couple of bucks selling his recently acquired sub $20.00 stock at the $20.00 call price. He'll need quite a few shares though. That being said volume has been strong so he may have achieved a winning hand.
