OT IND MAXPAIN Stan, I have a lot more respect for maxpain than I did just a few days ago. AMAT seemed to gravitate toward the 40 area today just as a large number of Dec 40 puts and calls were unwound. It must have taken some energy to divert AMAT and a large number of other tech stocks from their previous ST uptrends. Whether this is due in some measure to maxpain I do not know. Is maxpain a natural tendency that can be explained or is it thought to be caused by some kind of conspiracy by MMs to overtly manipulate the market in some fashion? Have you been following maxpain for many other companies and for a considerable length of time? Sam
