Jorj, you must be remembering May 8th when CSCO call holders made almost 1000% overnight. It will interesting to see the put-call volume tomorrow. Ditto QLGC. It is also interesting how MSFT ALWAYS reports earnings 1 day before options expiration. Makes you realize how much options tell a story and how manipulated things get when options volume gets excessive. I've been watching them for quite some time. The QQQ's can sometimes tell you the direction of Markets. The key is to figure out when the big boys have switched from just writing options (in which case they want them to expire worthless) to buying them.
