Andrew, I may pull the trigger a little earlier on qcom if it continues to show weakness today. Since I don't expect qcom to dip far below 65, I'm putting in a limit order to close my aaoin's at 2.15, which is half of the premium I received for a 6 week option less than 2 weeks ago. As the traders say, you can never lose by taking a quick profit <gg>.

it is gratifying to be able to discern a playable trend

My guess it that this is what is happening. I remember Voltaire and his "Conspiracy theories" too well. But, the main thing I find, is that the older I get, the less I know for sure. I was much more arrogant when I was younger.

And it is fun playing the game.

"The sand of the Desert is sodden red,
red with the wreck of a square that broke"

Yes, as the British schoolboys use to have to recite, "Play up, Play up, and play the game"!

Andrew,

Have similar theories on the put side? Anomalies exist there, as well. For example, I see NTAP Aug 12.5 had a volume today of over 21,000. Could be just a bunch of jittery folks buying some cheap protection, but that's a very large number.
