Right, the sellers of the call can do the reverse--buying the put and buying the stock. So it looks like for each put sold, there may be an opposing call sold, and it might be wash. I do not think it is a wash, though, because the sellers set the price as (I believe) that this new option purchasing is through market orders. So the professional seller has the advantage, and may time things differently.

Joe and all: Megalomania = gradiose cumpulsions about one's own importance. In the U.S. action, Microsoft Tuesday filed a motion for expedited appeal of a federal court order affecting its Internet software, arguing that the ruling and resulting doubts about Microsoft's Windows 98 operating system could harm significant parts of the U.S. economy. WSJ: 12/17/97 The world will go on without Windows 98. The world will go on without Merced. The world will go on without Pentium II The world will go on without Michael Dell. The world will go on without Bill Gates. The world will go on evenwithout MicroSoft. The world will have a lot of tough time without the food, drug and utility companies. -Mohan
