Here is the history, so we know what "happened" after the expiration
date and where we "possibably" go from here. I didn't mean to
predict the future based on the history. Just for reference.
April options expiration date is 4/17. It closed at 67 1/2, one of
the highest open interest striking prises.
Note: ignore volumes here. They are not correct.
