Herm, your web site has excellent lists of high percentage premiums. I am wondering what pumps a premium so high, other than the obvious factors such as volitility or impending events. For example, is it possible that a higher demand from call buyers can help create a higher price? If so, then I wonder if this would in itself be a vote of confidence from the market that the stock probably has upside, especially short term.

Or, does demand for that specific option have nothing to do with the equation?

Your thoughts?

Herm: I don't use that site. I do use Quote Plus and though it costs a little money, it sure saves a lot of time when you want to screen and review stocks quickly on a daily basis. It also is great in changing the various indicators for confirming signals and changing the number of days to review. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at writing or interpreting scans, so I use Quote Plus for the most basic screening of stocks and timing of purchases.
