Pam3001:

UF's tongue-in-cheek answer wasn't much help if your Q about "max pain" was serious. Try this link for an explanation:

The link already posted provides more extensive data on just about any stock you are interested in:

My personal observation is that this is something you should look at if you're into short term trading stocks or options because it's often a useful indicator of where a stock is likely to end up on expiration day. However, it can be a very misleading indicator in the face of external events or news.

Max pain was the under-study for the TV show "Get Smart."

(Just kidding).
