Glen, You asked: "Do you think mm's and specialists hold stocks back near options expiration so as not to pay up?" My understanding is that option specialists hedge their positions when taking the other side of an option transaction. I am guessing that this hedge keeps their position in the money in most circumstances. BTW there is a thread for options which might interest you: exchange2000.com Further to your question, I would think that the option specialists don't have much pull with the makers of the underlying market. Just a guess though. Interested in how they hedge their positions? Me too. Mark
