Quarterly expirations have had a bullish bias for the last 4 qtrs...

That's a year...LOL...

Going back in time, I asked a question about shorting the front month and longing the current month and hoping for some whipping action to "win" from both sides...

I had received some soso answers "why would you do that" type of stuff so I let it be...

FWIW'er...

Had I followed that trade it was a HUGE!!! winner for the long trade and there was plenty of time to get out with close to a push from the losing side...

Once again I'll let it go, but I find it interesting that they have jammed the qtrs for a year (they've jammed'em all...LOL...)

Louis about those traders "squaring their positions"

Do you mean they covering their shorts and buying back their puts? It looks like more buying than selling today.

And I didn't get you comment about expiry, as I'm not sure what that has to do with anything happening tomorrow as it's two weeks away.
