Haim; I looked but AOL has such a history of volatility prior to expiration that I don't know what to think. Max pain may not apply to this baby until you get closer, damm If I even want to guess, but if I had to I think she may whip on down to 95, and then settle about 105 for experation. Jim

Haim, Nice pickup on the AOL options. I am showing an OI of only 392 on the AOLFS ( June 95 Call), while there is large OI on the put side above that. It may make for an interesting play going into the triple witch if the market doesn't crumble. Good Trading Dave

Haim; U see how they whipped AOL down to 95,,, left a gap too now I have not looked at the options but figure they will close her about 105 on ex date ..( just a guess ) I use to play her hard, but things may have change since then. It was too much work for what little the floor traders would let hanging , lost my butt on her in 96..then after I got a handle on the thing and could see how they skewd the bid/ask on the options it just got old, the floor traders scalp over half of all that's made on the options, then with commissions it didn't make sense. I trade very few options anymore, if a person is young and wants to trade options they should become a floor trader this internut trading of options is mostly a joke. Jim
