Stcgg, this is a difficult time for those funds that have to be 100% invested .... they don't know where to go .... this is one of the reasons for the sector rotation I believe Stephen

Could Someone Explain How The Effect of Option Expiration on Market Prices is Determined? I think a few people have indicated that the expect that this month's option expiration, which occurs tomorrow, will have a negative impact on prices. I've think I also recall reading a mention that this is a "triple" expiration day (as well as a full moon). Does option expiration always effect the market in the same way? If so, why, and if not what are the major determinants of the way in which the expiration effects the market? Expiring Put/Call ratio? The quantity of in the money vs out of the money options expiring? What does the "triple" expiration refer to? Since SI is so slow today (my first thought is we have been complaining too loudly about the government statistics) no need to address the full moon effect at this time. Thanks in advance-
