"You could say that all the calls that expired worthless were rewritten today (g)." That is a factor in the high volume. But all the puts that expired ITM were also in need of being rewritten. So today we had a "clean slate" for short term options and the p/c ratio is a true picture of the sentiment of those opening new positions.

Zeev "My notes on Zeev's positions. They may or may not be correct(g)" I agree with you that the turn to the upside is near. Hal is wide awake and knows this is like April 2001 and Sep 2001 time period. So very near, but not yet. geocities.com Larry Dudash

Zeev, I just tried to post a response to one of your IHub posts and IHUB didn't work. The link is to your post and my response follows. investorshub.com I am more convinced than ever that the NYSE specialists are only slightly less crooked than the Nasdaq MM's of 10 years ago. Sure, once in a while you get a little "price improvement." But I have been doing a little more NYSE trading lately, and I watch these guys on a Level II. Yesterday I was going to cover IBM and the market was tanking. I had a bid on IBM when it started to tank. The bid fell to 15 cents lower than my bid, while the ask fell more slowly. There was a .25 spread on the thing, the market was tanking, and no one hit me. That wouldn't have happened on the Nasdaq. It's not like I'm trading huge lots either. My bid was for 1000 shares. Later yesterday I went to cover some MBI. There was a one cent spread so I hit the offer. The offer was only for 100 shares and I wanted 1000, but my order sat there for four minutes and they didn't fill me, even for 100 shares, until the stock and market started falling further.
