Does the above mean, the market makers may wish 30, but they won't reach that goal?

Paul,

Sorry for the delay. I was away on vacation.

The market makers were preferring 30 about two weeks ago but saw the fundamentals drawing the price higher. They were making the 30 options trade with no spread to create profit for themselves and lowered the delta on the 35s. They were trying to get open interest lower on the calls strike 30 and more open interest on the calls strike 35. I see they are being very successful. It also was indicating ASND was going to 35 around expiration but of course, never a guarantee.

Glenn
