Ox, How would I use this info practically? It is fascinating me and I've been wondering if this is the "Max Pain" thing where the underlying moves toward the maximum number of losers by expiration? If this is it, does it work on indices? It would seem to be hard to manipulate an entire index or steer it to a particular number. Thanks for the hard work. Matt
