happy_girl,

Not quite. The Max-Pain Point™ is the point where the maximum number of open interest contracts in a given month, both calls and puts, expire worthless.

Maximum pain for the call buyers would just make all of the calls worthless, but the put buyers might make a mint and stick it to the put writers MM's, hedge funds, brokerage houses, etc).

MM's are equal opportunity profiteers, they want the maxmium profit... period. They don't care if a stock goes up or down. ;-))

See the difference?
