I think that the whole options thing is moot anyway. Something like closing the barn door after the horses left the barn. I believe that the vast majority of options that are assigned over the next couple of years will have negligible returns for the foreseeable future. This is based on my beliief that the bear will end with a whimper and not fireworks. When all is said and done, nobody is going to want to put money in the market and therefore there will be nobody to drive the stock price up. Of course, you can probably use this as an indication that the bottom is in.
