Sorry about Vinny, heck. I'm sorry I might lose a bottle of Tullamore Dew.

During Expiration week, however, all bets are off. By then, most of the outstanding ITM options are in the pockets of the professionals speculators. So, with regard to the OEX (for example) if there is motion towards a the direction of the predominant weight of the O.I. then there is some ... let us say .. "extra push" if you know what I mean.

Index Options Expire at 4:15 EST Friday....the SnP September Contract expires at the Open Friday.
