Webster; I bet you can figure it out better if I dont try to
explain it , as I'm a clutz on explaining things. <G>

IF you have chart ability to check the ratio of stock price to
several close options over time it will show up.

Also check the volume of the call options, not just the volume
on the stock. Also most often you will see the options prices
"skew" before the stock reverses..them floor traders know their
stuff.

This only applies to stocks that trade a fairly good amount of
options, ones with low open interest are of little value
when it comes to watching the "skew" of the premo.
I'm not up to speed on IBM, I use to trade AOL a lot,
Dell INTC and MSFT are also a good ones.

Web; My quick take on IBM via options the premo peaked at 120
and has fell off , looks like they may drop her to about that
or as low as 110 sometime before excretion the 17th
then run her back up before earnings the 19th.
Earnings are likely going to be good, but they better be
better than good to keep her up here.
Jim
