I find it remarkable....I nail the low of the day---probably---and cannot get a fill. There oughta be a law. But....there's the rub. Index trading is manipulated. Premium is snatched out from the buyers and ends up in the camp of the sellers. Look at the OEX 470 puts. Unchanged yet the OEX is down over a point and a half. Meanwhile the 470 calls are off 2 bucks. Not to bring up a sore issue...but who's kidding who? Premium is being stripped. Buyers are losers. Nothing changes.....why own options? Split 'em all ya like....manipulation is the name of the game.
