My "absolute bottom" would be 20 21. Got it at that or in that area twice so far.

Evvgen - Speaking of institutional buying...Pretty good sized trade occurred at 10:06 ... 604,700 @ 24.50 After seeing that, I was overcome by irrational exuberance, and bought 20 ZTHAD JAN2001 20 strike @ 9-1/2. Ten minutes later some lucky investor (aka gambler) acquired an unknown quantity of the same for just 8-3/4. However, the ask never went below 9-5/8 and was at 9-3/4 for most of the time. I don't understand what happened. Timing is everything I guess. Anyone have a free source for time-and-sales reporting of option trades? Any prediction of the "absolute bottom?" Pretty easy to look back at the charts and tell when it was, but I don't know how to read the charts to predict the future. Regards, Elmo
