Another interesting note (for option players...). This stock may gravitate to the 12.5 strike price because there are NO strike prices higher right now. I don't think they will open a DEC 15 call or put, but should open the Jan series tomorrow.

Unless we get big volume to move us to 15ish area, we stay OVER 12.5 for expiration (Dec 17, 1999).

Why?

There are 441 open interest DEC 12.5 calls, and only 20 open interest DEC 12.5 puts. They usually like to do the most damage to writers where the most open interest occurs. Part of the MaxPain® theory (as I understand it...)
