Not bad, Tim, but... Expiration occurs on Firday and Settlement occurs on Monday. There are times when you may specify that you want to exercise an out of the money option. You can do that on Saturday and Sunday if you have a sympathetic brokerage house. I've done it.

Lets say you have a stock with the symbol XXX. It is currently at $15. There are calls and puts available at $10, $15, and $20. I'll also assume that the stock price does not move between now and expiration so it ends up at $15. Tim, my question is there a way of knowing before expiration that its likely the strike price will end up at $15? The reason I ask is that some columnists act as if they can figure that number out ahead of time with a fairly good degree of probability. ted

Musharraf: Bin Laden probably dead January 18, 2002 Posted: 12:30 PM EST (1730 GMT) Musharraf: I would give the first priority that he is dead -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's president says he thinks Osama bin Laden is most likely dead because he has been unable to get treatment for his kidney disease. "I think now, frankly, he is dead," Pervez Musharraf said on Friday in an interview with CNN, "for the reason he is a patient, he is a kidney patient. We know that he donated two dialysis machines into Afghanistan. One was specifically for his own personal use. "I don't know if he has been getting all that treatment in Afghanistan now. And the photographs that have been shown of him on television show him extremely weak. ... I would give the first priority that he is dead and the second priority that he is alive somewhere in Afghanistan." The United States has said that bin Laden is the prime suspect in the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed almost 3,000 people. The United States launched its campaign in Afghanistan after the country's ruling Taliban refused to turn over bin Laden.
