Max pain june=? Max pain july=? This is a very inexact exact science<gg>. I defer to much more experienced investors and market participants in these areas, but I might add that we are fortunate enough to enjoy their commentary here. This is the watch and learn school, as I am only in the early stages of my McMillan studies of "Options As A Strategic Investment". I can only add that interested investors follow the thread closely, as it seems many savvy and obviously successful investors do same. This is quite an encouraging sign to me. Best to get your nose bloodied by the pros than beat up on the amateurs...in the end you will probably find yourself in good company. Message 13735887 Do you calculate this yourself or do you know of a good site? ez-pnf.com Like others have stated before... this is a thinly traded retail stock as of the present, quite frankly I don't expect this to remain as the norm. This market is filled with gaps and negative money flows in the face of advances. Bull fund Rydex ratios and OEX put/call ratios portend near term market reversals to lower levels... I don't think they should be ignored, and should be played to individual traders advantages. It's always good to have a good fundamental and technical "feel" for each individual issue, that's why I'm long here, but play the swings. Best of Luck with your trading and investment decisions. John
