The data is a twenty-min-delayed quote from CBOE, and the parity is recalculated every time you load the page. It's based on the open interest figures, which I think are updated at the end of each day. I'm glad you find the page useful. I wish it was as useful for me... I'm fully invested in CREAF, and everytime it drops like this I face margin calls, so I can't do anything to take advantage. Writing calls isn't very good for me, because I've got a high net cost. ($23.70) Monday is just about 30 days after CREAF's big drop in December. Hopefully, lots of people sold it then to get a tax write-off, and are waiting the 30 days to buy back in because of the irs's wash rule. If this is the case, next week should be pretty good. I've got a batch of Jan 22.5's to sell, but I don't think I'll get a chance to by Friday. However, the first quarter earnings should come out on the 26th, I believe, and should be pretty good. There ought to be a runup going into that, and if the earnings are good a gap up on the 29th. Either that, or I'll just go broke. Doug. Doug.
