chip equipment stocks are heading higher; just checked the p/e on AMAT - it's only 250 - will we ever see it that cheap again?

SPX maxpain: I went to calculate it for you, but the data source I use is not complete. I'll PM you the data and if you can fill in the missing pieces, PM me the fixed data (I don't normally read this Subject) and I'll post the results from my calculations.

Hi LT .. Well .. it would depend on what set of data you begin to work with. As for Max pain Ben has this nice location: ez-pnf.com. I do a calculation which produces something that I call the strike of max loss. Ben doesn't seem to have a max pain number for the SPX. Here is what I have for the strike of max loss: If you start with what the CBOE calls "near term" options then it would be ~1400. If you start with every option that exists for july expiration then it would be ~1350. Large difference. FWIW Gersh
