Perhaps the difference is semantics. My belief is that market forces, some of them including the recognition of arbitrage opportunities at/near the close of an options contract, tend (as a second order effect) to move a stock towards it's nearest strike price. Ahhaha seems to be saying it is not a conspiracy of MMs doing this. I think we are all in agreement about this. +++++++ Anyone think we should send a card to the NEON board? Maybe a casserole? Web

A study? By reputable scientismists who have proven using advanced statistical analysis that the moon is made of green cheese for the 20th time? Just ask yourself, Is there only one strike? Is there only calls? Those who are in the money in calls want to get the price down and those who are in the money in puts don't. Mexican stand-off. Then I look at the 60Gs in options traded per day in MRVC and I ask, how much motivation is there to move the stock in any direction? Diddly. In larger issues with far greater options outstanding the forces asymptotically approach zero net as a function of the number. It's a zero sum shell game. I deigned you because you're overdoing the price trash talk and option macho which is making this thread another thread ghetto.
