Wrong! Tactics and Strategies: Cramer on Expiration Week Fun and Games
thestreet.com

(an excerpt)

The ugly, pimpled face of expiration stares me in the face. There's IBM at $105, as it
should be. Schlumberger hangin' at $80. Same with Pfizer at $75. Looks like another
case of options boys starting their Friday fun a little early, playing pin the strike on the
common.

How does this game work? Why do stocks gravitate to the strike? Okay, let's take
IBM. As of this writing IBM stands at 104.5. The December 105 puts are at 1.25, the
December 105 calls at 7/8.
