Shakush: I feel the puts and calls cannot be equated by volume when they are the cost are not the same. The cost of the puts in this instance far exceed the calls. It is better for the writers....generally "naked" for the most pat to devalue and reclaim the puts. At least in this scenario ( with market stability) the upward pressure gives them the op to release to the upward pressure. Slowly and seductively keeping the puts from closing. Hoping of a market turn down or complacent as CYMI has downed for the count so many times. I see an upward pressure. The truth rising ...so many factors..including that the manipulation has made it's run. The shorts to speak of are probably out. They are the same that sold the calls...lended the shorts and are now slowly closing the door. The game is over. The followers (as opposed to the cause) are trapped and may buy out at ask or with luck catch a market down. To see the relationship between short selling and covering I go to the site below and run models of NYSE stocks and see the influence on the stock. bigcharts.com The calls and puts here look more profitable for the rise of the stock. All things considered. webservices.pcquote.com Bruce
