Well, let me say this, I think I over-reacted negatively with the large call "open interest," fearing that Max-Pain would push AMD down. But when AMD was rising in January, there were huge amounts of in-the-money calls (35's, 30's and lower), and they didn't have any effect on AMD stock. "Max Pain theory," if it works at all, works only in the last couple days of the expiration. "Can't follow, why dangerous" -- well, you would lose 100% of your money if things continue as now. :) Petz
