As to that negative spread

I think the MM's are playing chicken. Its 1/16th below the option execution price. So they are trying to make that 1/16th. I think this time they are going to get burned. More people will execute their options on Friday if the MM's don't bring the options prices up to a premium and that could cause the stock to pop up on Friday. A self-reinforcing double whammy for the sellers of naked Calls.

Boy do I hope so. Crunch. Crunch.

Sorry I'm just having another one of those Intel celery chips for breakfast.

The 12.5 June call is trading at 11/16ths. The stock is at 13 3/8ths. The spread is growing to 3/16ths.
